How to Add Bots in Valorant Custom Games (Step-by-Step Guide)

While Valorant doesn’t officially support traditional AI bots like other shooters, players have discovered a clever in-game method to spawn bots in Custom Games. This is especially useful if you’re looking to practice aim, test agents, or train in a low-pressure setting.

Here’s how to set it up step by step.

✅ Step 1: Create a Custom Game

1. Open Valorant and log in.
2. Navigate to the Play tab and select Custom Game.
3. Choose Standard as the game mode.
4. Click on the Options tab and enable ‘Allow Cheats’.
5. Pick your preferred map and server, then start the match.

✅ Step 2: Set Up In-Game Cheats

1. Once in the match, select Sage as your agent. This method only works with her.
2. Open the Settings menu and go to the Cheats tab.
3. Assign a keybind to Ghost Mode (commonly set to ‘G’ for convenience).

✅ Step 3: Spawn AI Bots Using Sage’s Ultimate

1. Press the Ghost Mode key to fly upward into the air.
2. Deactivate Ghost Mode mid-air to fall and die.
3. Use Sage’s Ultimate (Resurrection) to revive yourself.
4. After revival, a bot version of Sage will remain in place.

Repeat this process to spawn multiple bots for target practice.

💡 What You Can Do with Bots

• Practice shooting and reflexes against moving dummies
• Train for clutch scenarios (1vX situations)
• Experiment with agent abilities without pressure
• Create custom drills or setups with friends

📌 Important Notes

• This method doesn’t create bots with AI behavior—they won’t fight back.
• It’s primarily useful for aim training and ability testing.
• Bots stay idle, making them perfect for lineups, recoil practice, and movement drills.

🎯 Use in the Valorant Pacific Region and Beyond

Whether you’re a casual player or grinding in the Valorant Pacific region, this method offers a valuable way to train and improve without entering competitive or unrated queues.
