What is the Cowboy to Immortal Challenge?
The Cowboy to Immortal Challenge has a fairly simple concept. Introduced by Valorant streamer Shiro, it involves taking an unranked account all the way up to Immortal rank, only using the Neo Frontier Sheriff. Since this Sheriff has a classical cowboy-style revolver look, it adds to the wild west visualization of the challenge, making it extremely enjoyable to watch.
So far, Shiro has only used the base variant of the Neo Frontier Sheriff, without the sci-fi add-ons to stick to the cowboy theme.

However, Sheriff isn’t the only weapon Shiro has been using in this run. He has occasionally used the Neo Frontier Marshal too, adding spice to the challenge since this skin has an elegant cowboy rifle aesthetic. Moreover, if he’s using an agent with abilities that can get kills (say Jett and Neon’s ultimates), he is allowed to use those utilities to net frags.

Who is Shiro, and where can you watch his Cowboy to Immortal challenge?
Shiro is a Valorant streamer with a peak rank of Radiant 771 RR. He constantly plays in Immortal/Radiant lobbies, which means he’s confident to pull off a stunt like that. Although several players in the past have completed Sheriff to Immortal challenges before, the addition of a cowboy roleplaying theme mixed with Shiro’s wild western impression makes this challenge both funny and entertaining.

History of Valorant Streamers with Challenges
Valorant content creators have a history of bizarre challenges that include various feats showcasing their skills with a particular agent or weapon. Usually, these challenges include taking an unranked account to a certain point in high elo, with various restrictions imposed on the players. Two of the streamers who brought these challenges to the mainstream are mentioned here.
- Keeoh is a big name in the Valorant community and is most notably known for his speedrun challenges. These runs include taking an unranked account to Radiant using only one particular agent. Currently, he is doing a Deadlock to Radiant speed run on his stream.
- Another challenge people usually do is to restrict themselves to a single gun while ranking up. A notable name in this category is RoyalG, who achieve the remarkable feat of taking an unranked account to Immotal, only using Classic throughout his run.
Although many people call these challenges unethical as they allow a high-ranked player to smurf in low elo, the restrictions make them kind of fair. Besides, their popularity in the community proves their entertainment value.
