“Running the driver at system startup time makes this significantly more difficult.” Importantly, Chamberlain emphasises that even though Vanguard is constantly running while your PC is on, it “does not collect or send any information about your computer back to us. “This is good for stopping cheaters because a common way to bypass anti-cheat systems is to load cheats before the anti-cheat system starts and either modify system components to contain the cheat or to have the cheat tamper with the anti-cheat system as it loads,” he added. Vanguard doesn't consider the computer trusted unless the Vanguard driver is loaded at system startup (this part is less common for anti-cheat systems),” said Chamberlain. Play “Vanguard contains a driver component called vgk.sys (similar to other anti-cheat systems), it's the reason why a reboot is required after installing. "My estimate before launch was that we’d see our first real cheats within the first 2 weeks of the beta it turns out I was optimistic and instead we only had a few days of quiet before we had to be working at full steam ahead." Riot is now offering up to $100,000 as a reward to hackers who can reveal the security weaknesses in Valorant's anti-cheat software. "To be honest I was caught off guard by how much interest there’s been in the game and how quickly cheat developers turned their attention to us," he said. This has happened much sooner than Riot had expected. We’ve built Vanguard to be an ever-improving platform, rather than a once off product, so from here Vanguard is going to continue to improve." While Valorant has new anti-cheat technology that runs continually even when you're not playing, this hasn't prevented early hackers from breaking into the game.
Second, Vanguard was designed in a way that lets us respond quickly to emerging threats we don’t need to wait for a game update to update our anti-cheat systems, so we can roll out new protections and detections as soon as they’re ready. Talking to IGN, Riot's anti-cheat lead for Valorant, Paul Chamberlain, said "Vanguard has made it easier for us to fight cheats in two ways: first, the protection mechanisms in Vanguard make it more difficult and time consuming to create cheats. Update 04/21: Riot has offered further explanation as to how Valorant's anti-cheat system works, and the benefits it offers.
