What does the Warden’s 2,900-credit price mean?
The 2,900 figure is an in-game credit cost, not a real-world price. Riot places the Warden in the same price tier as the Vandal and Phantom. Matching cost does not establish that the rifles perform equally or that one is a better choice in every situation.
What role is the Warden designed for?
Riot describes the Warden as a “distinct long-range option.” That is the developer’s description of its intended role, not evidence that it outperforms the Vandal, Phantom, or other rifles at every distance. The published specifications provide the listed damage, magazine, scope, and handling figures, but do not establish comparative accuracy, recoil, time-to-kill, or competitive strength.
