Gunbuddies

**Gunbuddies** are a type of cosmetic in *VALORANT*. They are weapon charms that attach to guns to slightly modify their appearance. Gunbuddies can only be seen in first-person view.

There are currently 426 different gunbuddies.

## Current Gunbuddies

### Collection Bundles

Gunbuddies from collection bundles can usually be bought on their own for  475 but are given for free should the player choose to buy the whole bundle. For bundles containing buddies, the bundle price is usually equal to the total cost of the gun skins. Most collection bundles that have gunbuddies only contain one each, though occasionally some bundles have multiple. Players will have x2 each of the gunbuddy in their inventory upon purchase.

Certain gunbuddies must be purchased as part of the entire bundle, thus losing the opportunity to purchase the gunbuddy individually. The gunbuddies are from these collections:

* "Monkey Business" from Arcane Collection's Collector's Set

Certain collections have different pricing for their gunbuddies. The collections are:

* All Give Back Collections (Give Back, Give Back // 2022, Give Back // 2023):  975
* Pride Collection:  0

### Battle Passes

#### Act Battle Pass

The act battle pass contains between 9 to 12 gunbuddies which are spread out over both the paid and free tracks. These buddies are always earned at the same tier or chapter (depending on how many buddies the pass has). The free track always has 3 buddies that are always unlocked after completing chapters 2, 6, 9, and unlocking the paid tracks gives access to up to 5-8 more buddies that are unlocked at other tiers. Another free track buddy may also be available at Epilogue 1, depending on whether the cosmetic at that tier for each pass is either a buddy or a spray. Players will have x2 each of the gunbuddy in their inventory upon unlock.

Kingdom Credits can also be used to unlock when gunbuddies appear as part of the weekly set of four offers available in Accessory Store.

*To see the tiers that each buddy was unlocked at, see the article for that Battle Pass' act linked in the respective Episode section.*
