Warden
On the Warden, one headshot kills through a heavy shield, and 3 body shots kill through a heavy shield.
Shots to kill and time to kill
Shields absorb damage one-for-one, so a light shield puts an opponent on 125 effective health and a heavy shield on 150. Time to kill measures from the first bullet landing to the last, which is why a one-shot kill reads 0.00s.
0–50m200 head · 50 body · 42 legs
| Target | Headshots | TTK | Body shots | TTK | Leg shots |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| No shield | 1 | 0.00s | 2 | 0.15s | 3 |
| Light shield | 1 | 0.00s | 3 | 0.31s | 3 |
| Heavy shield | 1 | 0.00s | 3 | 0.31s | 4 |
Between 0 and 50 metres, a headshot deals 200 damage and kills through a heavy shield outright — one bullet ends the duel. Body shots take 3 through a heavy shield at this range.
The Warden deals identical damage at every range — there is no falloff to play around.

Scoping slows both your movement and your rate of fire, so it trades the ability to reposition for a cleaner shot. On a rifle that is rarely worth it in a close fight.
What a Warden buy actually costs
The Warden is 2,900 credits on its own, but nobody buys a gun on its own. Adding armour is what turns it into a real loadout, and these are the shield prices straight from the buy menu.
| Loadout | Shield | Total |
|---|---|---|
| Warden + Light ArmorAbsorbs 66% of total damage taken. Breaks after it has absorbed 25 damage. | 400 | 3,300 |
| Warden + Regen ShieldAbsorbs 100% of total damage taken. Regenerates after it has absorbed damage. Has a total regeneration pool of 50. | 650 | 3,550 |
| Warden + Heavy ArmorAbsorbs 66% of total damage taken. Breaks after it has absorbed 50 damage. | 1,000 | 3,900 |
Abilities are on top of these figures and vary by agent, so treat the totals as the floor for a full buy rather than the final number. Heavy armour is what the kill tables above assume — it is the difference between 100 effective health and 150.
All 1 Warden skins
Skins are purely cosmetic — none of them change the numbers above. Higher content tiers add upgrade levels, colour variants and effects rather than any advantage.
| Tier | Skins at this tier | Standard tier price |
|---|---|---|

Standard single-skin prices for each tier. Most Warden skins are sold inside a bundle rather than on their own, and bundle pricing sits below the sum of its parts — so treat these as the ceiling, not the receipt.
