Riot is flexing its anticheat Vanguard by placing a bounty of up to $100,000 for anyone brilliant enough to find and report gaps in the system

Valorant neon .

Riot's anticheat, Vanguard, is a pretty sturdy system in the world of competitive multiplayer online gaming. Well, it would have to be—otherwise, Riot probably wouldn't offer $100,000 to anyone who could seriously pick it apart.

The bounty system has been in place pretty much since Valorant was first launched a few years ago, but the idea still stands, and also seems like a great way to make a quick buck—if you're smart enough. It's all part of a continued effort to strengthen the anticheat software. Riot is reaching out to the "security research community" to "help us quickly repair security problems." If you manage to successfully identify new issues, particularly really severe ones, you can head over to Riot's bounty program on HackerOne to report said issue and wait for a reward.
