Among the plethora of content that Valorant Episode 10 has brought with it to the shooter, the newly introduced ‘Flex’ cosmetics have taken the community by storm.
For the uninitiated, Flex is a new cosmetic category in Valorant that players can use in-game to… well, flex. When you’re in a game, you can showcase your Flex items by inspecting them, just like you would with your weapon or melee skins.
But how exactly do you use Flex in Valorant?
In this article, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know about how to use Flex in Valorant.
We will not only showcase how you can get Flex in Valorant, but also check out how you can equip and use it when you’re in a match.
How To Get Flex in Valorant
In order to use Flex in Valorant, you’ll first need to know how to get them.
Luckily, there’s not much you need to do to get Flex in Valorant since Riot Games has provided one for free to all players logging into the game after the Episode 10 update.
You can also get a second Flex by buying the Episode 10 Act 1 Battle Pass and reaching Tier 37.
How To Use Flex in Valorant: Guide
Once you have your Flex in Valorant, you’ll need to equip it before you can use it in your games.
Here’s how you can equip Flex in Valorant:
- Launch Valorant.
- Go to the ‘Collections’ tab.
- Click on the ‘Expressions’ wheel.
- Click on ‘Flex’.
- Equip your Flex.
Once done, hop on a game and bring up your spray wheel by tapping the assigned hotkey. From there, you’ll be able to use your Flex gadget and inspect it.
Keep in mind that equipping a Flex gadget will slow you down compared to having your knife out. It’s best to save the flexing for the buy phase or after the round has ended to avoid any mid-match mishaps.
