Guardian

The Guardian is a Rifle that is a primary weapon in VALORANT.

Summary
The Guardian is a moderately-priced semi-automatic rifle. It is most effective in long-range fights in the hands of players who are confident in their ability to hit headshots at such distances, being more accuracte than a Vandal. The Guardian's high penetration also makes it useful for getting wallbang kills. In short to medium range fights however, the Guardian cannot compete with the Phantom or Vandal due to their higher rates of fire.
