The game, developed by Riot Games, has seen some massive success in recent years thanks to its free-to-play model which makes it immediately accessible to all players.
However, as with any live-service game that is dedicated to online play, a number of players have found themselves encountering varying error codes that impact their ability to play.
These can be very annoying to encounter, and can occasionally be just as difficult to remedy.
You’re probably reading this right now because you’ve encountered the ‘VAN 152’ error code while playing the game.
But what does this error code mean? And how can you resolve it to get back to playing Valorant?
Read on down below, because we have all of the answers you could possibly need about this annoying error code!
What Is Valorant Error Code VAN 152?
The VAN 152 error code is a sudden error code that can occur before booting up the game, or even during a match, and generally only occurs in cases in which the Valorant server has detected that the player is using cheating programs such as aimbots, or other third-party programs that are not allowed to be used in the game, or give a player an unfair advantage.
Generally, if you encounter this error code, it is a result of using third-party programs that are not allowed to be used in Valorant.
How Do You Fix The Valorant Error Code VAN 152?
Generally speaking, if you have encountered the VAN 152 Valorant error code, it is a result of cheating, or using third-party programs that are not allowed.
This means that you will be banned from playing the game for some time. This period is usually around 4 months for most that encounter the error.
However, this time period can very easily fluctuate from case to case, depending on the severity of the case.
Once this period elapses, you will be able to regain access to your account.
The trouble is, Valorant does not make it immediately clear how much time is left to elapse on an account ban, so you may need to take matters into your own hands to resolve the error message and regain control over your account!
Unfortunately, there is very little that you can actually do if you encounter this error code.
Remember that the reason you will have encountered it is that the Valorant servers have detected third-party programs being used that may give you a competitive advantage.
Thus, the best way to avoid this error code is to completely steer clear of third-party programs that are used for cheating in online games.
However, if you have no recollection of using third-party cheating programs, or you believe that you have been incorrectly banned from the game, then you can raise a complaint with Riot Games.
Simply head to the Valorant Support Page, which can be found on the Valorant website.
From here, you can raise a ticket, within which you can mention your issue, and mention that you believe your ban to have been enacted in error.
Riot Games will then assess your claim, and if they find that no cheating has occurred on your account and that they have committed an error, then your account will be reinstated.
In most cases, however, you will simply have to wait for the banning period to elapse in order to regain control of your account.
In general, this should take no longer than 4 months, however, if you find that the period of your ban has exceeded this amount of time, then you should raise a ticket on the Valorant Support Page to find out why your account may still be banned.
To Wrap Up
Unfortunately, resolving the issue of a VAN 152 error code in Valorant is not very easy, as the error code will have been sent out as a result of an account ban, likely due to cheating on your account through the use of a third-party program.
If your account has received this error code, you will have to wait for a banning period to elapse on your account before you regain access to it.
The only way that you can try to directly regain access to your account yourself is to raise a complaint ticket with Riot Games in which you outline that you believe you have been banned in error.
Riot will then look at your account to determine if an error has occurred.
My name is Ashley Newby and I want to put integrity back into esports and get the hype surrounding them paramount once more. During my teenage years, I happened to stumble across a Street Fighter tournament online and I was hooked.
From that day, I have kept up with and watched many tournaments including Valorant, Super Smash Bros, and League of Legends. I even got to compete in my first one earlier this year!
