Valorant players love personalizing their profiles, and one of the most sought-after ways is through unique player titles. The “Salty” title stands out for its tongue-in-cheek tone, but how exactly can you get your hands on it?
What Is the “Salty” Title?
The “Salty” title is one of the many cosmetic badges in Valorant that players can display under their in-game name.
Unlike gun skins or sprays, titles are often earned as a testament to your game achievements, milestones, or participation in special events.
How Was the “Salty” Title Obtained?
The “Salty” title was originally available as a Battle Pass reward—a limited-time cosmetic earned through in-game progression. Specifically, it was unlocked at Tier 35 of the Episode 3, Act 1 Battle Pass (also known as REFLECTION: ACT 1).
- Release method: Exclusive to the premium track of Episode 3, Act 1 Battle Pass
- Unlock requirement: Reach Tier 35 during the Battle Pass duration
- Purchase options: Not available for direct purchase in the store or via agent contracts
- Event association: None; only tied to Battle Pass completion
Once the Act ended, the opportunity to earn this title expired, and Riot Games has not reintroduced it via bundles or event reruns.
Can You Get the “Salty” Title Now?
Unfortunately, the “Salty” title is no longer obtainable for players who did not unlock it during Episode 3, Act 1. Valorant has not featured it in any subsequent Battle Passes, bundles, or store rotations. Players who already earned it can continue to use it; for everyone else, the window has closed—at least for now.
How Are Most Titles Unlocked in Valorant?
Valorant players can collect titles through several avenues:
- Battle Pass progression
- Limited-time in-game events
- Watching official streams during promotions (if announced)
- Completing certain Agent contracts (for agent-themed titles)
- Occasionally via Bundles in the store
A vast majority of the game’s rarest titles, like “Salty,” are tied to old Battle Passes or special releases—so active participation is key to collecting them.
How to Equip and Show Off Your Titles
If you own the “Salty” title (or any other):
- Go to your Collection tab in Valorant.
- Select Player Cards.
- Click on Equip Titles (bottom left).
- Pick and equip your chosen title—it displays under your name in the lobby, on loading screens, and in-game.
Final Word
The “Salty” title is a relic of Valorant’s earlier days, reflecting both nostalgia and status. While it’s not currently possible to earn or buy this title, keep an eye on future Battle Passes and events—new exclusive titles are added every Act. Earning them while they’re available ensures you can show off rare badges as the game evolves.
If you’re chasing after the next great title, remember: in Valorant, timing is everything—even for in-game bragging rights.
