The fastest way to unlock an Agent in Valorant is to pay for it via Valorant Points (VP). This is a microtransaction method as players will have to pay to get Varun onto the roster. Each level in an Agent's contract takes $2 to acquire.

The Indian Agent is locked behind the fifth level. This means players will have to spend $10 to unlock him. However, it can be done more cheaply if players climb a few levels through playing other game modes.


2) Complete daily and weekly missions

The fastest way to unlock Harbor in Valorant is to focus on daily challenges, which can be viewed in the main menu. The daily challenge gives more than 5,000 XP per game. Notably, players can combine these with normal challenges that are also listed in the same section.

These challenges usually consist of easy objectives such as "killing the enemy with their weapons." Simple challenges like these can give plenty of XP, which are essential in filling out the contracts of Agents such as Harbor.

A normal Competitive or Unrated game in Valorant consumes a lot of time. While these modes can give tons of XP, it isn't the ideal way to farm points. For those looking to unlock Harbor, they can go for an easier method.

Spike rush and Deathmatch are the fastest game modes when it comes to maintaining a time-to-XP ratio. Deathmatch takes no longer than 10 minutes, while Spike Rush barely touches 20 minutes. Within an hour, players can get plenty of XP and progress Harbor's contract.
