One thing you forgot to mention is that the Guardian has the lowest 1st shot spread, so if your crosshair is on a head you are almost guarantee to land that shot, and when ADSing it has no spread so where you aim is where you hit. There are sometimes with the Phantom or Vandal (mostly at longer ranges) where the bullet will simply miss even if you are aiming exactly at the enemy which can be extremely annoying.
yep main reason why i switched i keep 1 tapping everybody with vandal and phantom but the bullets just dont register but when i start using gaurdian they actually die
I use the guardian all the time in deathmatch, just to warm up my crosshair placement and reaction time holding angles, as well as tracking the head. This is part of the Myagi method of warming up and it's quite effective. It does require a lot of trigger discipline though, but it really helps
@@galihindra7133 not just straight up shooting and flicking to everything. Instead, actually taking the time to adjust to the head first. Also by not spam clicking even if you can, or not committing to a full spray if you're using a rifle
The Miyagi method. that helped a frickin ton! I was bronze 3 when I discovered it now i'm close to gold 2, not a dramatic improvement but goddamn it works lol
It’s actually true, I’ve spent a literal YEAR trying to climb out of bronze. This morning when I was getting ready for school I saw this video and I’m so glad I clicked on it. After school and after a bit of homework and after practicing my piano and then eating dinner, I hopped on valorant and started playing some deathmatches using the guardian, I did better than average and was hitting a lot more headshots because the gun really does force you to headshot. After I was confident, I played a competitive and using the guardian on almost every round, I got 30 kills and 14 deaths. I’ve literally never gotten more than 28 kills before now . I played two more and won them both with a positive k/d and more than 20 kills on each match. I got around 60-70 rr all in one night thanks to the guardian. And this is my first day using it so I’m sure I’ll improve with it. This could just be me being really lucky but even still the guardian played a crucial role on me winning those matches. I literally can’t thank you enough for posting this video because without it I wouldn’t of gotten silver. I literally spent 5 mins after looking at my newly acquired silver rank. I’m pretty sure I was high on dopamine.
Buy reaver guardian no one uses it like lieterally no one but it's the best guardian and the reload is the best ingame reaver reload with small guardian clip is so satisfying
pair the guardian with a frenzy for when your on the move and they are getting close. Its a good combo for the best of both worlds ($2250+&450=$2700) which is still less then buys a vandal or a phantom.
Saw this on Reddit, swapped from vandal to guardian, found instant success. It suited my play style so much more, and I wasn’t even giving it a shot before you made this video. Thank you.
I feel like i have a similar playstyle as well. I never spray and try to go for one tap or 3-4 bullet burst with vandal. I need to definitely try guardian
Exactly the same. It took under a week for my crosshair placement and headshot percentage to be leagues better then it had been. (my reaction time is 180ms on average)
I also love the Guardian. I wanna say however that it's hard to kill quickly with it unless you're a good headshooter, I usually aim at torso so I need two more shots to kill a fully armored enemy
So I started using guardian only 2 weeks ago and I have to say, this really suits my playstyle more, I also love the fact that it is cheaper than the other ars so I can force buy it more often. I really thank and appreciate your contents!!
@@timmynotjerry Trust me, i tried guardian after i watched this video and it actually helped my crosshair placement and my aim. i started getting top frags after using guardian.
I feel like its good to learn proper crosshair placement, maybe in dm, but is literally just a vandal in every other sense. And I am a phantom imo player.
@@keyframe22 if you use op its honestly just a waste of money you might as well use Marshall its just 10x better cause its just as good if you aim for head and its a lot cheaper so you can buy your teammates weapon since marshall is cheap.
Back in the early seasons, I was coaching an amateur team, and my main advice for training aim (besides consistent warm-ups and playing a lot) was Guardian-Only Deathmatches. The weapon forces you to aim for the head and improves your pre-aiming quite a lot, and I found that using it to practice helped my players aim better with other weapons as well. So, not the same concept as this, but a similar idea.
I tried using guardian as my main gun after watching this, and got to realize the advantages what this video tries to tell us. Guardian is especially extremely useful in long range maps like icebox, breeze, and ascent, which were my least favorite maps but now one of my most favorites.
I started playing this game using mainly the Guardian, then went on to Phantom and Vandal. But, coming back to the Guardian, I agree with your comment about aim. I've noticed my aim drastically improved as of using the Guardian. It's like Survival of the Fittest. If you don't improve, you die. If you improve your aim and keep getting better, you stay alive and can get even better.
As someone who has 3000+ kills with the guardian, I can say it’s extremely underrated. It has its weaknesses but the guardian can literally out-duel every single other gun in the game with he right skill and discipline. I say it’s probably the third best gun in the game under the phantom and vandal here’s why: It has the highest total damage under the Operator. It also has 0 first shot inaccuracy ADS(meaning it’s perfectly accurate while aiming down sights.) YOU SHOULD NEVER SPAM THE GUARDIAN unless at close range. The guardian is weak against close range but with proper discipline, you can destroy someone at point- blank. It’s also weak against most rifles due to fire rate but, again you can just out- aim the opponent. It’s better than the operator due to its fire rate, and better than the marshal due to the same reasons. To sum it up, have good crosshair placement, take long angles, but if you must fight close up, time your shots perfectly. The gun is GOATED and way underrated
omg finally found a guy who mains guardian like me. everyone thinks im throwing games when i guardian only XD we have the same problems with vandal and phantom tho hahaha nice vdo bro
@@Sl4yer7123 i wouldnt say bias, i think meta wouldve been a better word. 7/10 times is a rough estimate from how many times someone with a guardian dies to a dude with a vandal
1 more advantage of using guardian is that 1 body shot is gives 65 damage. Where as Vandal 1 body shot is 40. I usually end up giving 120 damage to enemy with vandal before I die. But with guardian, 3 shots confirm me a kill. I'm not good at placing cross hair to enemy head but the 3 shots on body work for me lol
Then maybe you should just stick with the Guardian? i mean if you get more juan taps and headshots with it ya might as well just ditch the phantom/vandal
The thing about Vandal and Phantom or any full-auto gun for that matter being that expensive is because they can continue shooting the enemy after slowing them down, meanwhile guns like Guardian or Bullshit(ADS) take a little while for their accuracy reset, otherwise your bullets would spread more(still less than the spray pattern of Spectre tho)
Im trying this out today . If u think logically , it makes sense. If u miss with the guardian u die . So it basically forces u to go for the one taps and have perfect crosshair placement .
Actually the main reason why I started sticking with guardian because it serves as aim training. I was forced to buh guardian because im low on creds then had fun 1 tapping people after a few games of adjusting
When I started playing valorant I used to frequently play with the Guardian but when I started playing comp I used the phantom more and when my aim improved also the vandal, just at that point my ability to shoot with the Guardian and weirdly the sheriff went out of the window. This video gives me the will to try playing with guardian again as it seems to be a nice weapon especially if you want to improve aim and cross hair placement. Interesting video!
Same thing happened with me. Its very strange. I used to swear by the Guardian as the best rifle particularly for its ability to one shot headshot through walls, an ability no other rifle has. I got to be a demon with it and by extension the sheriff, but when I switched to the phantom, my guardian skills didn't go completely per se, but they definitely degraded a lot.
Same idk why.. Guardian was my main gun for a long time but then i switched to phantom and I noticed i didn't hit headshots as often and missed more shots.😭😭
Prepare "Guardian" then head up, body stand up and aim at the enemy's head. Without having to duck (Ctrl) "Guardian" can do it, if you are great you can kill enemies quickly and precisely.
ive always liked guardian more. my friends told me the vandal or phantom was better however I liked it more however I couldn't tell why. this helped me to articulate my thoughts and maximise my effeciency! thank you
I recently picked up the game and immediately gravitated to this gun. My 3rd day playing this I got accused of aimbotting because my guardian shots were so clean. Then I learned that the Vandal was the meta. My head shot consistency plummeted. I have considered switching back to defaulting to the guardian. Apparently my Sherrif headshot rate is 51% though so I'm keeping that.
i loved this gun when the game released, then after the nerf where its fire rate was reduced i used the phantom more. But recently i started using again with cypher especially on Bind to work on my taps
The way you use "Guardian" is great, with your head held high, your body standing up and aiming at the enemy's head to get a "kill" especially victory.
I've been losing so many of my plat games recently and I swear to god after I watched this video I went guardian only in a comp ( after a few deathmatches) and went 20-1 in the first 7 rounds, and they called me a smurf and a cheater lmfao.
I kinda suck at the game but whenever my aim just isn’t there I like to switch to the guardian to try and “reset”. The calmer playstyle it requires really helps fix your mindset.
You made me realise that my gameplay can be heavily upgraded by playing this gun, for the simple fact that i already have a great crosshair placement and i play the sheriff a lot. The ADS is really helpful on this rifle, the only problem i found is the amount of bullets, if you have to tap faster, it can run out before you expect it. Anyways i'm Plat 3 right now, i'll maybe update after hard-using this rifle.
It definitely made me better at tapping heads, however i didn't get to grind the game as much as i wanted because of the toxic mates i get 8 matches out of 10
I started playing the guardian because I find the shots to hit easier, and yes it did slowly improve my crosshair placement too. This video is definitely useful (thank you!!!) and will try to play more guardian in my future games! Currently in Bronze 1 (i know i suck ._.) hopefully I will rank up in the upcoming acts
As for someone who’s has been using the guardian since the beta over the phantom or vandal I glad to see someone else finding it’s greatness luv the guide and keep up the good work
Guardian only also helps with aim cause it forces you to slow down your aim. People panic shoot and spray with vandal and phantom too much. You can’t do it with this gun.
The amount of times I one tapped Raze in their ult and Jett dashing/updrafting with the Guardian shows how much the gun really disciplines you compared to freaking out and spraying with the others.
in deathmatch I can get to 30 with guardian only, but in a real game I choke too much. I might try this though, it might help with me choking so much. Edit 1 month later. I now have an average hs% of 44 but I'm still iron. I usually get 17-25 kills every game, even reaching 35 one game this act. I constantly get called on hacks or smurf. It's really annoying because I am dominating irons and making them rage all the time and it's fun to make enemies rage. But it stops being fun when my teammates also think I am cheating and then throw the game so I lose rr, or try to copy me and use the guardian until we lose. I'm not banned yet, but I think riot has had to check my pc multiple times.
ayo i just watched this then hopped into an unrated to test it out: only guardian, calm down, aim for the head, and only shoot when the crosshair is at the right place AND OMG I WAS LIKE A DIFFERENT PERSON!! soooo many headshots and effortless kills and a big W!! PLUS i always had money for my team!! thank you so much fishychair for changing my blind aim life! turns out i just didn't fit vandal or phantom 😭😭😭 plus this gun DOES really discipline you into aiming properly and calmly before shooting! the difference was night and day and i surprised myself even! should've noticed i belonged to the guardian earlier since i was only good at pistol rounds 😂 thanks again fishychair for your unmatched calmness and aim ❤️ long live the guardian god ✨
A lot of the points you make in this video are things I've practiced to make my guardian better, but my teammates constantly tell me to use a vandal or phantom instead. This video has given myself the confidence to get back on the guardian grind
SAME it’s so annoying when you’re vibing with the guardian and your teammates tell you to buy smth else or to pick up a vandal from the ground getting kills with the guardian is like a major high
I'm bronze on valorant, I've try to force myself to try new weapons. I do like vandal and spraying but it's too inconsistent for me and esp phantom that gun I cannot use for long distance or short. So I switched to using marshal but it really leaves your vulnerable. When I finally settled on guardian, I am a person who aims down sight a lot so this gun is good for me, and I also love tapping which I found myself doing a lot on vandal but it felt really bad with that gun until I made the switch. When I first started valorant all my friends said not to aim down sight because it's somehow less accurate? But honestly it makes me more accurate. Ever since I switched I started to out perform my duo and I hit silver :D guardian is a gun that really makes me slow down and actually think about my character and crosshair placement, before I just used to rush but going slow is better. Now I just need to work on getting better at aiming at their heads. Also I do not do any aim training tbh I hate doing death match and I'd rather learn from when I play comp games bc the enemy does not move the same way as they do in death match.
Used Guardian only for 2 weeks now, actually climped from iron 3 to Plat 3. After a week MVP only im on my way to dia just 30 elo, i thank you so much!!!
been running guardian sine this video came out, results showed hard and my raw fighting skills increased allowing me to climb from bronze to plat, stretching diamond now. the main factor that helped me was the headshot and ammo dicipline which transfers over to other guns, but when you use the guardian long enough, you wont want to, everything else feels like playing the lottery to hit your target. thats the kind of power we are talking about, pick up a guardian
Guardian is good depends on that user (ofc) Guardian is made to be long ranged and it can be also be good for people that tap fire and has precise aim. The reason most people don't use guardian is. They don't have precise aim. They don't use it for long range. The reason they use vandal. Is because it's easier to use for them.
Guardian has been a really big help in improving my aim, reaction, and resetting as to where the head is when I miss my first few shots. And it's hella accurate.
Yes and no. I played the guardian and i climbed till diamond 3. But then I was hardstuck i couldnt get better for 4 months. So I switched to the vandal and after that I missed every shot. But after a weak I finally played better and now I am imo 3
This is a guardian propaganda to lure us away from our lords and saviors, Vandal and Phantom. Dont get "miss"guided by the this false immortal my sheeps..!!
This is literally what I do. If we win, I always go for Guardian + half shield on second round. Glad I'm not the only one doing this. I've been using the Guadian most of the time, and NEVER the Vandal or Phantom just because I suck at crosshair placements + spray patterns. I have CS:GO experience but I never memorized spray patterns. Thanks for the guide!
i agree with you. personally i struggle with my aim in valorant, but recently I've been using the guardian in my games. I've noticed a huge improvement in my crosshair placement and my kda. i am silver 2 but thanks to using the guardian, i am winning a lot more duels. which makes me win more games.
so true....even subroza said hes good at sherif not bc of aim but bc of good placement. playing sheriff and guardians in dms really brute forces u to keep good crossheir placement
VALIDATION POGG!! Context : I have never played any fps before, and I cannot spray control at all. So I always get guardian, because if you manage your econ correctly, you can always buy guardian and atleast half shields every round whether you win or lose. I play kj, so I basically sometimes wont be able to get nanoswarms. For second round I use marshall, since there is a good chance people dont buy half shields. Marshall is basically a faster better OP if you don't buy shields, does 101 body damage.
So my decent crosshair placement was from using mostly guardian for about 4 months. Might have to satart using it again because i ise it kind of rarely now and need to improve again.
because firstly he doesn't have many bullets left and secondly it will catch his opponent off guard by using a vandal instead of a guardian by being able to spray
Literally everyone knows that the guardian is the best gun in Valorant, it suits all ranges, one bullet kill, low recoil and high first shot accuracy, BUT most people just dont have the aim to main it, for me example I have some days were I onetap with the guardian but then on other days i dont hit anything, so the gun for sure is the best, but it requires insane amount of skill
The price also makes a lot more sense now. Initially, it was 2700 (just 200 less than phantom/vandal). Now, it can save you a lot of money and not force you to save as often.
I started using that guardian only because of you and I have a 61% headshot with it and my aim/crosshair placement has improved so much. I'm climbing consistently. I plan on maining chamber, as his kit will better suit me I feel. I currently main Reyna.
İ can approve this. As an iron player (i was bronze 1 but im talking about now) i started playing deathmatches with guardian. At first i was just dying but after a while i just decided to try to aim for heads and see how successful i am at that. At first i was just dying over and over again but after 3 to 4 hours i just started to LİTERALLY CLİCK HEADS! I just still can't believe a player like me was clicking heads and i just won my first deathmatch by dominating my opponents. İ don't say it will make you aimbot in a day but hey, it did for me!!!
Gonna try this out and see if it helps me improve. I was very surprised to see 2000 dpi! Also I couldn’t make out the crosshair comment at the end. It sounded like “a crosshair that’s invisible”?
I'm curious, does the guardian work better for certain agents than others? For example, I main Yoru and Omen, and I'm I tend to tp and fight from close range in the enemy's back.
Any agent that can "safely" play off angles is good. But i play brim/omen a lot and it works fine too. Just need to change your playstyle. So Reyna, Chamber, Jett works really well (Also Sage cuz of the wall boosts, and Omen but don't be too agressive). For close range fights I recommend buying shorty if u plan to sit in smokes. Guardian on Yoru could work too, beacause you can change spots which u hold very often. But doing flash + tp combos can be hard.
Lol we're the same I've been playing Valorant for 1 month and I've been using vandal and spectre for almost every round but sometimes my bullet won't hit or I got hit first. But when I try to use the guardian my aim and bullet started to get good. Damn guardian diff.
i used to be quite good with the guardian but over time i stopped using it (i used it for a specific reason, and that was no longer a problem) and now i cannot use the guardian to save my life it makes me sad
Him: "You just need to put your crosshair where their head is going to be"
me: the feet and the head are basically the same thing
lol for me i always aim at the body as when i aim at the position of the head it looks awkward idk why
lol if i use guardian i also buy frenzy in case the enemy rushing me
Same sadge
@Amatzukie LMAO

One thing you forgot to mention is that the Guardian has the lowest 1st shot spread, so if your crosshair is on a head you are almost guarantee to land that shot, and when ADSing it has no spread so where you aim is where you hit.
There are sometimes with the Phantom or Vandal (mostly at longer ranges) where the bullet will simply miss even if you are aiming exactly at the enemy which can be extremely annoying.

Actually the main reason why I started sticking with guardian because it serves as aim training. I was forced to buh guardian because im low on creds then had fun 1 tapping people after a few games of adjusting
Or just lower sens a bit, do this with Vandal/Phantom and also have spray for close range! Best idea ever, oh wait, all the pro's do this.
@@jrm8206 yea i kind onf have really high sence 480 edpi 😅

When I started playing valorant I used to frequently play with the Guardian but when I started playing comp I used the phantom more and when my aim improved also the vandal, just at that point my ability to shoot with the Guardian and weirdly the sheriff went out of the window. This video gives me the will to try playing with guardian again as it seems to be a nice weapon especially if you want to improve aim and cross hair placement. Interesting video!
Same thing happened with me. Its very strange. I used to swear by the Guardian as the best rifle particularly for its ability to one shot headshot through walls, an ability no other rifle has. I got to be a demon with it and by extension the sheriff, but when I switched to the phantom, my guardian skills didn't go completely per se, but they definitely degraded a lot.
Same idk why.. Guardian was my main gun for a long time but then i switched to phantom and I noticed i didn't hit headshots as often and missed more shots.😭😭
everyones talking about the guardian ofc but his posture is insane
"The guardian forces you to improve your backbone placement"
Prepare "Guardian" then head up, body stand up and aim at the enemy's head.
Without having to duck (Ctrl) "Guardian" can do it, if you are great you can kill enemies quickly and precisely.
ive always liked guardian more. my friends told me the vandal or phantom was better however I liked it more however I couldn't tell why. this helped me to articulate my thoughts and maximise my effeciency! thank you
they just like it cuz the meta. I used the guardian for the first time in forever and did better with it than with the vandal or phantom
using a guardian without scoping and getting multiple hs in long range is also a big flex to the whole server
i started using the guardian and i went from silver 2 to diamond 1
"when you use a vandal or phantom, you can afford to be lazy with your crosshair placement" hence why i use them LOL
update: actually starting to use the guardian and holy shit that scope in headshot is so satisfying
@@ratboygirl true vandal one tap is cool and all but because of the slower fire rate its so much more satisfying
@@whydoiexist2180 fr like holding a corner, scoping in and clicking heads as they file in *chefs kiss*
I recently picked up the game and immediately gravitated to this gun. My 3rd day playing this I got accused of aimbotting because my guardian shots were so clean. Then I learned that the Vandal was the meta. My head shot consistency plummeted. I have considered switching back to defaulting to the guardian.
Apparently my Sherrif headshot rate is 51% though so I'm keeping that.
i loved this gun when the game released, then after the nerf where its fire rate was reduced i used the phantom more. But recently i started using again with cypher especially on Bind to work on my taps
The way you use "Guardian" is great, with your head held high, your body standing up and aiming at the enemy's head to get a "kill" especially victory.

I've been losing so many of my plat games recently and I swear to god after I watched this video I went guardian only in a comp ( after a few deathmatches) and went 20-1 in the first 7 rounds, and they called me a smurf and a cheater lmfao.
That is insane high sens. No wonder you have trouble hitting at range with the meta guns
Yep, my sens is over 5 times lower.
Yep edit it's not that low lol
its not that high its only 432 eDPI. which is considered low or mid range edpi.
It's low to mid, not even high at all, let alone insanely high
No, all that matters is the edpi. Not the sense
@@popsee9745 average eDPI in this game is like 300 amongst top tier. I guess 432 it not insane high. But far from low mid.
I kinda suck at the game but whenever my aim just isn’t there I like to switch to the guardian to try and “reset”. The calmer playstyle it requires really helps fix your mindset.
You made me realise that my gameplay can be heavily upgraded by playing this gun, for the simple fact that i already have a great crosshair placement and i play the sheriff a lot. The ADS is really helpful on this rifle, the only problem i found is the amount of bullets, if you have to tap faster, it can run out before you expect it. Anyways i'm Plat 3 right now, i'll maybe update after hard-using this rifle.
update
It definitely made me better at tapping heads, however i didn't get to grind the game as much as i wanted because of the toxic mates i get 8 matches out of 10
@@Odah_ update?
@@roman_godx I'm D2 but the game is disgusting and i don't play it much anymore
@@Odah_ damn im stuck in iron 3 haha
My man single handedly made 1 million people use guardian only
I started playing the guardian because I find the shots to hit easier, and yes it did slowly improve my crosshair placement too. This video is definitely useful (thank you!!!) and will try to play more guardian in my future games! Currently in Bronze 1 (i know i suck ._.) hopefully I will rank up in the upcoming acts
ik the pain of being stuck in bronze but as soon as i got to b3 i started playing against better opponents making me have to get better gl getting out
@@BOEDP yep. I got lucky getting out of bronze. Got to silver 2 and got stuck for 1 act. Then after that I got to gold 1 this month.
You got this man👍
@@BOEDP thanks man!! Unfortunately I recently got a lot of throwing mates, got deranked to iron 3 again 🥲
@@zhieen1580 OOFF lmao
I only have one question: how do I predict how high is the head going go be at?
Game sence play more and more you will be Abel to predict where enemy will stop
As for someone who’s has been using the guardian since the beta over the phantom or vandal I glad to see someone else finding it’s greatness luv the guide and keep up the good work
Just curious, what rank are you? I'm only bronze and after seeing this video, I'm practicing guardian in DM.
P3
@@EggmondC PFFFFTTTTTTT ONLY PLAT 3?!!?!?!
brooo im literally gold 1
Guardian only also helps with aim cause it forces you to slow down your aim. People panic shoot and spray with vandal and phantom too much. You can’t do it with this gun.
"The one and only DMR in source engine-shooting game" -me the sks main
tf crosshair 1 1 10 2 its not what i see in the vid
The amount of times I one tapped Raze in their ult and Jett dashing/updrafting with the Guardian shows how much the gun really disciplines you compared to freaking out and spraying with the others.
Dude we are like the exact same, I had only played tf2 as a shooter prior to valorant and I was naturally drawn to the guardian.
My TF2 years really did me good when it comes to flicks, one taps, and even tracing enemies.
in deathmatch I can get to 30 with guardian only, but in a real game I choke too much. I might try this though, it might help with me choking so much.
Edit 1 month later. I now have an average hs% of 44 but I'm still iron. I usually get 17-25 kills every game, even reaching 35 one game this act. I constantly get called on hacks or smurf. It's really annoying because I am dominating irons and making them rage all the time and it's fun to make enemies rage. But it stops being fun when my teammates also think I am cheating and then throw the game so I lose rr, or try to copy me and use the guardian until we lose. I'm not banned yet, but I think riot has had to check my pc multiple times.
The infantry guardian is the best gun in the game change my mind
TRUE
ayo i just watched this then hopped into an unrated to test it out: only guardian, calm down, aim for the head, and only shoot when the crosshair is at the right place AND OMG I WAS LIKE A DIFFERENT PERSON!! soooo many headshots and effortless kills and a big W!! PLUS i always had money for my team!! thank you so much fishychair for changing my blind aim life! turns out i just didn't fit vandal or phantom 😭😭😭 plus this gun DOES really discipline you into aiming properly and calmly before shooting! the difference was night and day and i surprised myself even! should've noticed i belonged to the guardian earlier since i was only good at pistol rounds 😂 thanks again fishychair for your unmatched calmness and aim ❤️ long live the guardian god ✨
A lot of the points you make in this video are things I've practiced to make my guardian better, but my teammates constantly tell me to use a vandal or phantom instead. This video has given myself the confidence to get back on the guardian grind
SAME
it’s so annoying when you’re vibing with the guardian and your teammates tell you to buy smth else or to pick up a vandal from the ground
getting kills with the guardian is like a major high
@@disgustd7333 i mean you should pick up a vandal for your team always, it's kinda throwing if you don't.
Mybe once you get immo or something with a gurdian you can start using the vandal and be cracked like him
I have felt the same way for quite a while. There's just something about the Guardian that hits different.
I'm bronze on valorant, I've try to force myself to try new weapons. I do like vandal and spraying but it's too inconsistent for me and esp phantom that gun I cannot use for long distance or short. So I switched to using marshal but it really leaves your vulnerable. When I finally settled on guardian, I am a person who aims down sight a lot so this gun is good for me, and I also love tapping which I found myself doing a lot on vandal but it felt really bad with that gun until I made the switch. When I first started valorant all my friends said not to aim down sight because it's somehow less accurate? But honestly it makes me more accurate. Ever since I switched I started to out perform my duo and I hit silver :D guardian is a gun that really makes me slow down and actually think about my character and crosshair placement, before I just used to rush but going slow is better. Now I just need to work on getting better at aiming at their heads. Also I do not do any aim training tbh I hate doing death match and I'd rather learn from when I play comp games bc the enemy does not move the same way as they do in death match.
OMG I can relate sooo much with you, we have pretty much the same thoughts. The only difference is that you are A LOT better than me...
Used Guardian only for 2 weeks now, actually climped from iron 3 to Plat 3. After a week MVP only im on my way to dia just 30 elo, i thank you so much!!!
cap
With the new nerfs to Spectre, Vandal, and Phantom this makes the guardian a much better weapon
been running guardian sine this video came out, results showed hard and my raw fighting skills increased allowing me to climb from bronze to plat, stretching diamond now. the main factor that helped me was the headshot and ammo dicipline which transfers over to other guns, but when you use the guardian long enough, you wont want to, everything else feels like playing the lottery to hit your target. thats the kind of power we are talking about, pick up a guardian
His background setup is just perfection
Guardian is good depends on that user (ofc)
Guardian is made to be long ranged and it can be also be good for people that tap fire and has precise aim.
The reason most people don't use guardian is.
They don't have precise aim.
They don't use it for long range.
The reason they use vandal. Is because it's easier to use for them.
Guardian has been a really big help in improving my aim, reaction, and resetting as to where the head is when I miss my first few shots. And it's hella accurate.
Yes and no. I played the guardian and i climbed till diamond 3. But then I was hardstuck i couldnt get better for 4 months. So I switched to the vandal and after that I missed every shot. But after a weak I finally played better and now I am imo 3
The feeling of back to back one taps with the guardian is like no other
This is a guardian propaganda to lure us away from our lords and saviors, Vandal and Phantom. Dont get "miss"guided by the this false immortal my sheeps..!!
this is so underated
This is literally what I do. If we win, I always go for Guardian + half shield on second round. Glad I'm not the only one doing this. I've been using the Guadian most of the time, and NEVER the Vandal or Phantom just because I suck at crosshair placements + spray patterns. I have CS:GO experience but I never memorized spray patterns. Thanks for the guide!
I always use the Guardian as well, since day 1
i agree with you. personally i struggle with my aim in valorant, but recently I've been using the guardian in my games. I've noticed a huge improvement in my crosshair placement and my kda. i am silver 2 but thanks to using the guardian, i am winning a lot more duels. which makes me win more games.
I got mocked for buying the guardian on a full buy round then went and Aced the round. It's a stupidly powerful gun if you have good mechanics
0:42 "I find myself losing duels" kill feed having 5k
fr
so true....even subroza said hes good at sherif not bc of aim but bc of good placement. playing sheriff and guardians in dms really brute forces u to keep good crossheir placement
VALIDATION POGG!!
Context : I have never played any fps before, and I cannot spray control at all.
So I always get guardian, because if you manage your econ correctly, you can always buy guardian and atleast half shields every round whether you win or lose.
I play kj, so I basically sometimes wont be able to get nanoswarms.
For second round I use marshall, since there is a good chance people dont buy half shields.
Marshall is basically a faster better OP if you don't buy shields, does 101 body damage.
So my decent crosshair placement was from using mostly guardian for about 4 months. Might have to satart using it again because i ise it kind of rarely now and need to improve again.
*videos about how thee guardian is the best gun in the game*
*reaches for a vandal during a 1v1* 2:17
because firstly he doesn't have many bullets left and secondly it will catch his opponent off guard by using a vandal instead of a guardian by being able to spray
LMAOOOO "Waking up the muscle memory" litterly runn and gunning with a spectre in deathmatch, but nice vid
Literally everyone knows that the guardian is the best gun in Valorant, it suits all ranges, one bullet kill, low recoil and high first shot accuracy, BUT most people just dont have the aim to main it, for me example I have some days were I onetap with the guardian but then on other days i dont hit anything, so the gun for sure is the best, but it requires insane amount of skill
Im here after buying prime guardian from my night market,my best n m ever! :)
(Gotta reaver and prime vandal too🤫)
Ohh my god even after playing valorant from this long and even watched uncountable videos of valorant its first time i saw prime gaurdian reload lol
agreed
Didn't know it was so good, only used it cause I didn't want to learn recoil but could aim really well from playing other games.
I actually seen more ppl start using the guardian more often I got to give the guardian another chance after seeing this vid
The price also makes a lot more sense now. Initially, it was 2700 (just 200 less than phantom/vandal). Now, it can save you a lot of money and not force you to save as often.
I feel like guardian is actually best gun for good csgo players. I just can't stand random recoil on vandal.
I literally bought the sovereign skin to force me to use the guardian more. It's a very underrated gun
dude guardian has the best skins in the game imo; sovereign, reaver, prime, oni
I started using that guardian only because of you and I have a 61% headshot with it and my aim/crosshair placement has improved so much. I'm climbing consistently. I plan on maining chamber, as his kit will better suit me I feel. I currently main Reyna.
İ can approve this. As an iron player (i was bronze 1 but im talking about now) i started playing deathmatches with guardian. At first i was just dying but after a while i just decided to try to aim for heads and see how successful i am at that. At first i was just dying over and over again but after 3 to 4 hours i just started to LİTERALLY CLİCK HEADS! I just still can't believe a player like me was clicking heads and i just won my first deathmatch by dominating my opponents. İ don't say it will make you aimbot in a day but hey, it did for me!!!
from a guy whos immortal: that video is well done and well explained ! great work!
Gonna try this out and see if it helps me improve. I was very surprised to see 2000 dpi! Also I couldn’t make out the crosshair comment at the end. It sounded like “a crosshair that’s invisible”?
idk why but I can't say fishychair without saying fishyhair, so I decided to name the fishychair crosshair fishyhair
I'm curious, does the guardian work better for certain agents than others? For example, I main Yoru and Omen, and I'm I tend to tp and fight from close range in the enemy's back.
Any agent that can "safely" play off angles is good. But i play brim/omen a lot and it works fine too. Just need to change your playstyle. So Reyna, Chamber, Jett works really well (Also Sage cuz of the wall boosts, and Omen but don't be too agressive). For close range fights I recommend buying shorty if u plan to sit in smokes. Guardian on Yoru could work too, beacause you can change spots which u hold very often. But doing flash + tp combos can be hard.
It’s actually this little x crosshair that makes the guardian so deadly
Before i watch..
The one and only reason:
100% first bullet accuracy
Lol we're the same I've been playing Valorant for 1 month and I've been using vandal and spectre for almost every round but sometimes my bullet won't hit or I got hit first. But when I try to use the guardian my aim and bullet started to get good. Damn guardian diff.
I just hope they won't nerf it.
So here's a guide on why you should always buy only Sheriff
Yes, sarcasm.
BRO NO ONE LIKES GUARDIAN AND THIS IS WHAT I TRY TO TELL THEM. I LOVE IT MORE THEN VANDAL AND I FINALLY HAVE SOMEONE TO RELATE TO
Guardian + Angle Snapping + Good crosshair = W
A very good guide! Came just in time after my lose streak 😂 time to try the guardian i guess
I’m iron 2 and guardian main. I hit many headshots and kills but I’m hardstuck.
i used to be quite good with the guardian but over time i stopped using it (i used it for a specific reason, and that was no longer a problem) and now i cannot use the guardian to save my life it makes me sad
SAMEEE
Kang Kang with the 4K in guardian is insane so I went to check what kind of weapon this is
