Broadcasting From Your Basement: A Guide to Valorant's All Chat
Let's face it, sometimes you've gotta unleash your inner Shakespeare (or should we say, "valorantbard"?) on the entire Valorant audience. Maybe you aced a clutch round with a one-in-a-million knife kill. Perhaps you just witnessed the most hilariously chaotic Sage wall placement in history. Whatever the reason, there's a time and a place to spread your message across the digital battlefield, and that place is All Chat.
But fear not, fellow keyboard warriors, for this guide will equip you with the knowledge to dominate not just the enemy team, but the chat window as well!

Accessing the Airways: How to Talk to Literally Everyone
There are two main ways to activate All Chat and become a Valorant rockstar:
- The Shift+Enter Shuffle: This is the classic combo. Buckle up, hit those two buttons together, and prepare to unleash your verbal brilliance upon the masses.
- The Pre-emptive Slash: Feeling fancy? You can also type /all before your message to achieve the same all-encompassing effect. Just be careful not to confuse it with "/dance" in the heat of the moment (nobody wants to see those moves, trust me).
Pro Tip: Remember, all chat is visible to everyone, including those pesky enemies you're trying to outwit. So, maybe avoid spilling your strategic secrets or using grandma's favorite curse words.
Tip: Don’t skip — flow matters.
What NOT to Say in All Chat: A Guide for the Socially Awkward
- Flaming: We've all been there, but resist the urge to unleash your inner rage monster. It's a one-way ticket to getting muted and nobody likes a salty teammate (or opponent for that matter).
- Spoilers: Did you just witness someone pull off an insane play with a brand new agent? Awesome! But maybe hold off on revealing their secret tech to the entire server. Let them have their moment.
- Spam: Nobody enjoys repetitive messages, not even the most enthusiastic meme lords. Keep it concise and keep it classy.
All Chat All-Stars: How to Use It Like a Pro
- The GG (Good Game): A classic for a reason! A sportsmanlike "good game" at the end of a close match can go a long way in the Valorant community.
- The Play of the Game Shoutout: Witness something amazing? Let the world (or at least the server) know! A little praise can make someone's day, and who knows, you might inspire the next viral Valorant clip.
- The Lighthearted Trash Talk: A little playful jab can add some fun to the competition. Just remember to keep it light and avoid anything offensive.
Remember: All chat is a powerful tool. Use it wisely, and you might just become a Valorant chat legend!
