Does Valorant still have a rootkit?
Nah, Valorant doesn't have a 'rootkit'. The thing people got worked up about is Riot's Vanguard anti-cheat system. It's designed to keep cheaters at bay and runs at the kernel level, which is pretty deep in your system, but it's not a rootkit. Riot's been clear about it being safe and totally for protecting the game's integrity. So, no worries, your data's safe!

Absolutely not, Valorant never had a 'rootkit'. The Vanguard anti-cheat might need deep access to keep the game fair, but calling it a rootkit is a misunderstanding. It's all above board!
