Riot launches Champions Conflict: Frag or Die challenge for VALORANT Champions 2026

Riot Games has launched Champions Conflict: Frag or Die, a limited-time challenge tied to VALORANT Champions 2026.

Players must choose between Team Alpha, represented by SAGE , or Team Omega, represented by Viper, before completing missions and earning points for their selected faction.

The event began on September 16 and tracks matches across every mode except custom games.

Weekly missions and faction rewards

During the first week, players can earn points by completing Pick’Ems, securing 20 kills in Deathmatch or Team Deathmatch, and playing 35 rounds across Competitive, Unrated, or Swiftplay.

Each limited mission awards 5,000 points.

Additional repeatable objectives award points for winning matches, playing with friends, securing kills, and recording assists.

Players will also earn 1,000 points whenever their selected faction's team wins during VALORANT Champions 2026.

Joining either side immediately unlocks a faction-themed player card.

Completing nine limited missions awards the "Broken" title, while finishing 18 unlocks the "Official Seal" spray.

Members of the winning faction will receive an additional "Jade & Venom" card after the competition concludes.

VALORANT Champions 2026 will run from September 24 to October 18 in Shanghai, with 16 teams competing for a $2.25 million prize pool.
