Does deathmatch count for weekly missions in VALORANT?
In VALORANT, new acts and seasons not only bring new features but also challenges. They include weekly missions that help players earn extra experience points (XP), just like the battle pass. These missions are key for players who want to unlock new game features and earn more experience points. However, there are certain rules and many people ask if Deathmatch counts for weekly missions in VALORANT or not. In this piece, we explain everything you need to know about these missions and which modes they are available for.
Does deathmatch count for weekly missions in VALORANT?
In VALORANT, playing in Deathmatch mode does not help you progress in weekly missions. Deathmatch is all about getting as many kills as you can. It does not involve team strategies or objectives like planting the Spike, which are important in most weekly missions.
If Deathmatch were part of weekly missions, it would make earning mission rewards too easy. For instance, achieving a high number of headshots is simpler in Deathmatch than in other game modes where you have to think about a lot more variables rather than only focusing on your opponent’s head. So in other words, it actually makes sense.
“If Deatmatch doesn’t count for weekly missions, which modes do?” you may ask. Here is a look at all the modes that count for weekly missions in VALORANT:
- Competitive: A mode where you play against others who match your skill level and ranking.
- Spike Rush: A quicker version of the game with shorter rounds.
- Swiftplay: A mix of Unrated and Spike Rush, with fast matches that still use agent abilities and teamwork.
- Unrated: A standard game mode that's not competitive.
What are weekly missions in VALORANT?
Weekly missions are tasks that give players XP when completed. You can see your missions by looking at the top right corner of the main menu or the top left during the Agent Select screen. Each week, you get three new missions, and they're the same for every player. These missions reset at the start of a new act but pile up, meaning if you finish all your missions for one week, you can start on the next week's missions right away if you're behind. If Riot releases a new act, you won’t be able to go back and complete your remainin weekly missions in VALORANT.
As mentioned above, missions need you to play in certain game modes. Deathmatch and Escalation do not count. If a game is canceled because of cheating or a player leaves, you don't lose the chance to earn XP from those missions. The XP will just move to the next game you complete.
VALORANT weekly mission rewards
The main reward for completing weekly missions is XP. The amount of XP varies with each act and sometimes increases each week within an act. This setup encourages players to keep playing and completing missions throughout the act.
By following the weekly missions, players can consistently earn rewards and get better at the game because these missions require more game time. If you enjoyed reading our guide about VALORANBT weekly and daily missions, don’t forget to check these ones out too:
