What is Valorant Error Code 39

Error Code 39 is the dark spectre of Valorant.

In short, Error 39 is associated with an inability to connect to the Valorant servers. From here, the game will likely kick you out in response.

Most of the time, however, the issue is on Riot Games’ side. An inability to connect is due to the fact that Valorant’s servers are completely down either for fixing or because of a crash.
