Can I play Valorant without Vanguard?
Nope, you can't play Valorant without Vanguard. Vanguard is Riot Games' anti-cheat software, and it's mandatory for playing. It's there to keep the game fair by preventing cheats and hacks, so while it might feel a bit intrusive at times, it's all for the greater good of ensuring a level playing field.

Short answer: No. Long reason: Vanguard is essential for Valorant's security system. Without it, say hello to hackers and goodbye to fair play.
Absolutely not. Tried running it without Vanguard once, because it was messing with my drivers. Game wouldn't start. It's a tough pill to swallow, but Vanguard is a necessary evil for a cheat-free experience in Valorant.
