How to Fix the 'We Couldn't Install a Required Dependency' Error in Valorant
To fix the 'We couldn't install a required dependency' error in Valorant, start with the basics: run the Valorant and Riot Client as an administrator. Right-click the program icon and select 'Run as administrator'. If that doesn't do the trick, try disabling your firewall or antivirus temporarily, as these can mistakenly block the installation process. Lastly, ensure your Windows is up to date since outdated systems can cause compatibility issues. If all else fails, reinstalling the game might be your best bet!

Just turn off your antivirus lol. It's always the antivirus acting up and thinking Valorant is some kind of threat. Disable it, install the game, and then turn it back on. EZ.
Reinstall? No thanks. Just update your Windows and run the game as admin. Should fix it without going through the hassle of a full reinstall.
Had this issue last week! What worked for me was updating Windows to the latest version. Turns out, Valorant needs the latest system updates to run smoothly. So, give your system a quick check and update if needed. Worked like a charm for me.
