Ping spikes that are only happening in Valorant
Even though I don't get ping spikes in other games, every minute or so my ping will spike to 200-400 ms, lasting about 5 seconds before returning to normal (16-40 ms). This has been an issue across different internet providers and locations, so I find it unlikely that this is the issue. I have tried following several guides on YouTube, though I haven't had any luck. I was wondering if anyone possibly had any solutions for this problem. Thanks in advance.

Where are you playing from?
What server do you play on?
Do you play using wifi or eth?
Since when are you facing this issue ?
I am playing from Wisconsin and on U.S servers. I play on wifi and have been facing this issue since August of 2024 on console but the issue persisted even when I changed to pc in August of 2025
Open cmd and type:
tracert 192.207.0.0
Show ss of the result
How far is your router from your pc :val_SusgeNoted:
I don’t know :val_SmileW:
Campus router
Do you see 3 hops on the first trace, that’s your connection to your router
And those should be less than 1
Ahh
See the first trace it’s spiking 11 2 11
Unless your connection to your router isn’t stable, you’ll get ping spikes like that in game
So there's not much i can do then, huh
if you are on wifi try ethernet connection and restart your router
