How To Use Radio Commands In Valorant

By using radio commands, you can communicate with your teammates without having to use Valorant chat commands or open your mic and speak through the voice chat. The greatest part is that your Agent will do the talking so that you can hear some very interesting Valorant voice lines!

Valorant radio commands are divided into three main categories:

  • Combat: Alerts and requests for support.
  • Social: Basic interactions and acknowledgments.
  • Strategy: Coordination and tactical plans.

The default keybind to access radio commands in Valorant is the “,” (comma) or “<” key. This key opens up the Radio Commands Wheel in-game, allowing you to select the type of message you want to share. Yeah, I know it's a weird bind, but you can try out different hotkeys and reset Valorant settings if you don't like it.

All in all, to access these commands during a match, press and hold the default keybind to bring up the Radio Commands Wheel. The Combat category appears first. For Social commands, scroll up, and for Strategy commands, scroll all the way down, simple as that!
