We've significantly increased the amount of error that Guardian Rifle get when moving and shooting to help combat the sensation of running kills with rifles. These changes will make kills while moving with rifles more rare, especially at longer ranges—but still possible up close.

    • 1.09
      Inaccuracy state

      Jump land inaccuracy state changed from gradual to binary. We've noticed a trend where players landing from a jump are able to shoot accurately sooner than is reasonable. While this issue is most pronounced on the Operator, it is something that we've noticed across all weapons. Jump peeking is valuable for the mixup potential it provides but it was proving too difficult for players to reasonably deal with.

    • 1.09
      Inaccuracy duration

      Jump land inaccuracy duration increased from 0.2 to 0.225 seconds. These changes retain that mixup potential while slightly increasing the time before the peeker can fire with perfect accuracy.

    • 1.09
      Inaccuracy value

      Jump land inaccuracy value increased from 5.0 to 7.0 (more inaccurate for 0.225s after a land).

    • 1.08
      Guardian cost

      Price reduced from 2500 to 2400 credits. We don't think the Guardian can (or should) compete directly with the Phantom or Vandal but we'd like it to have a place where players can feel good opting into the gun at the new price, is a competitive purchase in certain economic circumstances or map scenarios, and isn't as punishing when an enemy gets close.

    • 1.08
      Guardian RPS

      Improved Rate of fire from 4.75 to 5.25 RPS (rounds per second).

    • 1.08

    • 1.03
      Price reduced

      Guardian price reduced from 2700 to 2500. Up until now, the Guardian has lived in a strange position in the arsenal. Price-wise, it remained close to the premium rifles while not adequately competing with their power, making it too pricey as an alternate economic option, but not powerful enough to be considered as a premiere weapon choice.

    • 1.03
      Rate of Fire reduced

      Rate of Fire reduced from 6.5 to 4.75 rounds per second. Its fast fire rate made it more powerful in close range situations than we'd like, given our goals for the weapon's long-range, precision shot fantasy, and—despite its semi-automatic, heavy-hitting firing style—it matched other rifles in terms of penetrating power.

    • 1.03
      Penetration power

      Penetration power increased from Medium to Heavy. We hope these changes will sharpen the Guardian's identity as a long-range, versatile weapon, with its heavy penetration values and lower price providing some more nuanced choice competition to the rifle category of the arsenal.

      All weapons, desired slow amount

      Update to Tagging (slowdown effect when hit by enemy fire). Increased the time it takes to reach desired slow amount when tagged by 100%. Also, the effects of being tagged should feel less jarring especially when playing with higher ping.

      All weapons, effect of tagging on movement speed

      Effect of tagging on movement speed reduced from 80% to 70%. Tagging is intended to reward the player with better positioning and the player that successfully lands a shot on the enemy first. When tagged, you will now more gradually transition to the reduced tagging speed.

      All weapons, effect of tagging on movement speed (Wall Penetration)

      Tagging through walls has been further reduced which should enable reliable escapes when being shot through walls. Effect of tagging on movement speed reduced from 35% to 25%. In addition, the reduced tagging speed is slightly more forgiving. If you are positioned close to cover, this should allow you to potentially escape when tagged more frequently than before.

      Fixed an issue where the Gun Recovery Time was higher than intended.

      Recovery time on Guardian

      Gun Recovery Time reduced from 0.4s to 0.35 seconds. Recovery time on Guardian have been updated, which should make tap and burst firing more efficient. Inaccuracy is accrued any time the weapon is re-fired prior to a complete duration of a weapon's respective Gun Recovery Time.

      Guardian base walk accuracy

      Base walk accuracy increased from 0.6° to 0.8°. We felt like walk-spraying with Guardian was a little more effective than we'd like, particularly at longer ranges. We're going to pull back on this accuracy slightly and continue to monitor.

      Walking accuracy

      You will no longer enter the "walking accuracy" state when transitioning from run to stop. We noticed many players were entering a walking accuracy state during their run-to-stop transition that made it appear as if shots they fired/landed were done at full speed.

      Deadzone accuracy

      Deadzone accuracy speed threshold increased from 25% to 30%. Now that you can't gain walk accuracy while transitioning from a run to a stop, we've also slightly increased the size of the deadzone (full accuracy state) to make it a bit easier to get an accurate shot out quickly.

    Rifles

    A rifle is a single-person portable, long-barrelled firearm designed for accurate shooting. In keeping with their focus on accuracy, rifles are typically designed to be held with both hands and braced via a firm buttstock against the shooter's shoulder for stability during shooting.

    Know CS:GO?

    The Guardian is not comparable to any CS:GO weapon. It is kinda unique.
