In this short article, we will cover how you can appear offline in Valorant using third-party software – Deceive

When playing tactical shooters like Riot Games’ VALORANT with friends, the experience is generally better, but there are times when it’s just easier to play alone and avoid queuing with a friend who’s not that great.

Due to the developers’ decision, it is not easy to appear offline in VALORANT. While playing the game, you cannot set your status to offline. Despite your frustration, don’t worry, there’s an external fix.

The only thing you need to do to appear offline in VALORANT is to download a third-party program called Deceive. Using this software, you can set your user invisible while playing and tricking your friends.

Not only for VALORANT but also for League of Legends, Riot is openly against third-party applications. Depending on the software’s purpose, its use may lead to a ban.

In spite of this, Deceive has been around for years and its users have not complained that they were banned for using it. It might be because the software doesn’t interfere with Vanguard, VALORANT‘s anti-cheat system. Use it at your own discretion, though.

Here’s how to appear offline in VALORANT with the usage of Deceive.
