Gamers can win rewards for creative content posted on social media

RIOT Games MENA has launched ‘Take Your Shot,’ a first-of-its-kind mission-based content platform that allows VALORANT gamers in the Middle East to win rewards for posting creative content on their own social media channels.

Take Your Shot will revolve around a series of unique monthly missions based on gameplay categories such as Best Aces, Wholesome Gaming, or Best Line Ups to keep things fresh for gamers. Every month, players will vote for their favorite user-generated content submissions, with the top ten being forwarded to the RIOT Games team to determine who will take first, second, and third place, with ultimate bragging rights and thousands of VALORANT Points to prove it.

The submissions with the most votes each month will receive 10,000 VALORANT points (VP), with second and third place receiving 6,000 VP and 3,000 VP, respectively. Points can be spent on in-game items, agent contracts, or saved for the next set of Ultra Weapon Skins.

“VALORANT is a community and launching the ‘Take Your Shot’ initiative allows us to bring players from across the Middle East together like never before,” said Karim Hachani, Head of Publishing at RIOT Games MENA. “This region is hugely important to us and we’re confident introducing this platform is the ideal way to engage and build rapport between gamers in the market. This platform also plays perfectly into the incredible growth of creativity we are seeing across the region. Our players’ skills and creativity, both in-game and out, never ceases to amaze us and we can’t wait to see what hidden talent Take Your Shot helps us uncover.”  

“We also plan to add more prizes in the future as the platform evolves and we see what the initial user reception and feedback are like. Rest assured we will be growing this platform with our gamers’ preferences in mind.”

VALORANT players who want to be a part of Take My Shot must first select the mission they want to participate in, then select the platform where they originally uploaded their content. Following that, they would fill out the details of their submission, accept the Terms and Conditions, and hit the send button. Players are encouraged to share the link to their submission on social media in order to gain votes, which will determine whether or not their submission is shortlisted.
