Well either way I wouldn't cheat in this game. They ban the entire PC and I've heard it's next to impossible to bypass the banned PC so if you get banned the only way to play again is on a whole new PC.
Having Kernal Level Access is risky and I am personally against. Nobody likes cheaters. However whats more trustable about this is they want people to find exploits because you will get a huge cash prize if you do I think it said. Unlike Battleeye and Easy Anticheat.
All 3 of those anti-cheats have the same level of access except I like that valorant is more open about it. End of the day we hate it and its controversial to say the least.
i think yes you could trust vanguard because it's made by big compay riot if you still not sure because there some leaks that it's vioalating users data then you shouldn't play valorant play csgo lmao they will do nothing you can chill and play valorant
