If you are a fan of Valorant who loves flexing skins or spamming your knife, ‘Flex’ is a new cosmetic type that you can add to your inventory. Yes, instead of a gun or knife skin, you can equip a random Flex cosmetic item and use it to show off your style in Valorant. Want to know all about it? So, learn all about the Valorant Flex item, including the steps for how to equip and use it.
What is the Flex Item in Valorant?
Just like your spray or knife that you show off by button-mashing between rounds, Flex is a new way of showing off your style. Valorant will let you bring this new cosmetic item forward that you have equipped before starting a game. You can equip Flex just like you use spray using the wheel.
The Flex cosmetic item will add no significant value to the gameplay. This means you will not gain any movement speed bonus or visual advantages. The players in your team or against you will not be able to see the extra animated effects in the third person.
How to Equip Valorant Flex Items
Before you can use the Flex cosmetics, you must equip it from your inventory. Here is how you can equip Flex in Valorant:
- Go to the Collection tab from your Valorant main menu.
- Select the Expressions wheel from the bottom right section.
- Click the Flex tab from the top menu and choose the cosmetic.
- Click the Equip button to assign the item to the selected slot.
How to Use Valorant Flex Items
After you equip your Flex item, you can flaunt it off in the game easily. To do so, enter a game of Valorant first. While the game is in prepare phase or ongoing, you can hold the Expressions wheel button (T on PC and Right D-Pad on consoles) to bring up the sprays and Flex cosmetics. Now, select the Flex item from your wheel and it will appear on your hand.
To equip your gun or melee, you can press the Expressions wheel button again. Otherwise, pressing the desired weapon button will also bring forward your weapons. Do not forget you must shoot the enemies in the game.
How Many Flex Items Are in Valorant?
With the release of Valorant update 10, there are two Flex cosmetics available in the game. One of them is the STAT-COM that is available to all players for free. The other flex item is the Stellar Dendrite snowflake that is available through the battle pass.
