Leaked Valorant rifle Warden has built-in 2x scope, costs 2,900

A leak circulating online lists a new Valorant rifle called the Warden as a full-automatic weapon with a built-in 2x scope and a 2,900 Credits price tag, placing it alongside the Vandal and Phantom.

The leaked specifications list the Warden with an 18-round magazine, 90 rounds in reserve, a fire rate of 6.5 rounds per second, a 2.5-second reload time and medium penetration. The leak does not include damage values for head, body or leg shots, nor does it provide range-based damage falloff. Riot Games has not confirmed the weapon or any of the reported numbers.

Priced at 2,900 Credits, the Warden would occupy the same price tier as Valorant’s current top rifles. The reported 18-round magazine and 6.5 rounds-per-second fire rate are lower than the Vandal’s 25 rounds and the Phantom’s 30 rounds and higher cyclic rates.

The built-in 2x scope differs from Valorant’s existing rifles, which use iron sights rather than integrated zoom optics. The leak lists the Warden’s penetration as medium, but it does not provide detailed information about performance against different cover or barrier types.

No release date has been announced. Some leak timelines have suggested a possible arrival with Patch 13.06 on September 22, but Riot has made no public statement confirming the weapon or its inclusion in that update.

Players and content creators have shown interest in the leak, discussing how a full-auto rifle with an integrated scope could affect purchase choices and team tactics depending on the weapon’s final damage and accuracy figures.

Riot Games will publish official patch notes and final tuning that confirm whether the Warden will be added to the game and what its exact statistics will be.
