Yes. Valorant provides an API for selecting and then locking agents early. This isn't a feature implemented into Valorant Companion for two reasons;
- Agent-locking is a highly detectable feature and Valorant Companion aims to be as invisible to Riot Games as possible and at the same time providing as many features as possible.
- Valorant Companion aims to be helpful but also non-disruptive. We want players to be able to have certain information but don't want them to be able to "cheat". Locking agents with inhumane speed just isn't fair in a gameplay perspective.
Following API-steps are required to achieve Recon Bolt's functionality:
- Selecting a character:
https://glz-{region}-1.{shard}.a.pvp.net/pregame/v1/matches/{matchId}/select/{agentId} - Then locking the character:
https://glz-{region}-1.{shard}.a.pvp.net/pregame/v1/matches/{matchId}/lock/{agentId}
Please overthink using tools like Recon Bolt. Not just is there a high chance of you losing all your skins, but also is it disruptive against players without such tools.
Would it be possible to use the API to add the ability to lock agents, similiar to Recon Bolt? Just curious.
