The sound comes from the Champions 2023 collection released for Valorant during the Champions tournament in Los Angeles in August 2023. The limited bundle added a progressive kill banner and audio cue that changed with each elimination in a round, starting with this first kill tone. Players quickly extracted the isolated cues for use outside the game, and editors began sequencing them over highlights from other shooters as well. Its clean, escalating design has kept it in use as a shorthand for counting kills in competitive gaming videos.
About this sound
The Champions 2023 Kill 1 sound effect is the first kill confirmation chime from Valorant, used in edits to mark eliminations and highlight plays.
This is the sharp, escalating kill confirmation sound played after the first elimination with the Champions 2023 weapon finish in Valorant. It is a short electronic chime with a bright synth rise and a clean percussive hit, designed to feel rewarding without covering gunfire or voice comms. In clips it instantly signals a successful pick, giving a montage or stream highlight a sense of progress toward an ace. The tone is triumphant and tense at the same time, which is why a single hit can build anticipation for the next kill in the sequence.
