Our Valorant Weapon Guide series continues with the next rifle – today it’s about the Guardian.
It’s been a year since the release of Valorant’s closed beta and many weapons have received some changes in that time. The Guardian received some slight improvements that have upgraded the weapon and made it more competitive. We’ll show you why the Guardian is a good choice.
Guardian Weapon Guide
The Guardian belongs to the rifle category in Valorant, but it doesn’t really function in the same way as the Vandal, Phantom, or Bulldog. The Guardian is basically a sniper with one-tap potential and no damage drop. Think of it as a budget version of the Vandal. This gun packs a punch, but it’s slow and has limited magazine capacity. Here’s a quick comparison with the Vandal:
- Rate of fire: 5.25 rounds/sec (9.75 – Vandal)
- Magazine: 12 rounds (25 rounds – Vandal)
- Penetrating power: Heavy (Medium)
- Reload Speed: 2.5 seconds (2.5 seconds)
However, there is one thing that makes these weapons similar, and that is the one-tap headshots. Note that because of the Guardian’s higher penetrating power, you can hit places where you can’t with the Vandal or Phantom.
Guardian Damage
The Guardian’s damage has no damage drop, making it deadly at any range. You just need flawless accuracy to land the precise shots.
- 0m-50m: Body 65/Head 195/Legs 49
All you need to take down an enemy is a single shot to the head. Shots to the body are also very painful, and two hits will eliminate anyone not heavily armored.
Guardian Price
The Guardian costs 2400 credits, making it a tempting choice that is cheaper than Vandal and Phantom (2900). This is a big win, as she has some of the best features of the Vandal – one-tap headshots and no damage drop. On the downside, it has a much slower rate of fire, and a 12-round magazine.
Guardian Alt-Fire
Guardian is the only rifle in Valorant with a scope of x1.5 zoom, while the rest only have access to x1.25. With this extra zoom, you can get a good view from further away and really land those headshots.
Guardian recoil
As we mentioned earlier, the Guardian is semi-automatic, so hip-firing is often not a good idea. The gun is quite accurate for the first few shots, but after that it becomes harder to control. We can talk about the unpredictable recoil, but you’re better off just shooting in short bursts and relying on accuracy.
Conclusion
The Guardian competes with its bigger brothers – Vandal and Phantom. It is significantly cheaper, but has the one-shot potential of the Vandal. The Guardian is a defensive weapon that is great for defending certain angles. Just watch out for the small magazine and slower rate of fire.

What is Valorant?
Valorant initially appears to be a cross between CS:Go and Overwatch . A competitive shooter where two small teams compete against each other.
Your team is either ready to attack or defend, with the attackers placing a “stinger” (essentially a bomb) that the other team must then defuse or preferably prevent you from placing at all.
The attacking team can win by either eliminating the defenders or placing the stinger and then protecting it from defusing until the timer runs out. The defenders can similarly win by destroying the attackers before they have a chance to plant their stinger, or disarming the stinger after it has been planted.
Each team of five can play as both attackers and defenders during a game. Each game has a total of 25 rounds, with the first team to win 13 rounds declared the winner
