Riot adds a new 2,900-credit scoped rifle, a limited-time 2v2 round-robin mode, and a full overhaul of how competitive performance, accolades, ranks and Agent mastery are tracked—plus UI and queue improvements.
Warden is a new 2,900-credit scoped rifle with 18-round magazines, 50 body damage and 200 head damage.
Gauntlet: Glitched is a limited-time eight-duo mode with ability drafting, shared health and upgradeable, sometimes 'glitched' ability variants.
Performance Score replaces Average Combat Score (0–500 scale) and now drives MVP and scoreboard position across multiple modes.
# What changed in Patch 13.06
VALORANT Patch 13.06 introduces a new primary weapon, a limited-time game mode, and a comprehensive rebuild of competitive tracking and some UI flows. Riot combined several systems in one release: a third 2,900-credit rifle, new match and player tracking metrics, Agent progression per Act, and quality-of-life tweaks for queuing and the post-match screen.
Warden joins the Vandal and Phantom at the 2,900-credit buy bracket. It is a scoped rifle intended as a long-range option that is not the Operator. Riot's published numbers for the Warden are:
This addition changes buy-round choices by giving teams a scoped mid-price rifle that may affect peeking, positioning and economy decisions.
Average Combat Score is removed and replaced by Performance Score, a 0–500 metric Riot says captures more than just kills and damage. Performance Score now determines MVP and scoreboard placement across Competitive, Unrated, Swiftplay and Premier. Riot plans ongoing tuning based on feedback.
Alongside Performance Score, Riot added Accolades (tracking personal bests per Act and lifetime starting with this patch) and Rank Legacy, a running counter of every Competitive rank you've achieved. Rank Legacy only increments for the same rank once every three Acts.
Agent Mastery gives each Agent Act-level progression, lifetime levels, a Reward Track and an Agent ID. All players start fresh at zero for Agent Mastery with this patch.
Riot merged Home and Lobby into a single hub and rebuilt the End of Game screen to surface rewards, match details and standout moments in one view. You can now enter the Practice Range while in queue for most modes (it may be unavailable when the queue looks short and is not supported in Premier, Deathmatch or modes without Agent Select).
Map Rating is confirmed for Patch 13.08. Riot has also scheduled Competitive Flex and Radiant-specific updates for Patch 14.00, indicating further changes to competitive systems and matchmaking.
# Bottom line
The new 2900-credit, long-range weapon will arrive in Valorant alongside brand new mode, Gauntlet: Glitched, and an Agent Mastery system.
