VALORANT 13.06 introduces Agent Mastery, the Warden rifle and Gauntlet: Glitched. Riot's announcement dated September 22, 2026 separates Agent progression from the match weapon economy. Here are the main changes and practical checks for returning players.
How does Agent Mastery work?
Each Agent has Act and Lifetime levels. Playing that Agent in supported modes earns Mastery Points. Act progress resets each Act; Lifetime progress stays. Previous playtime does not carry over. Unlocked Agent Gear rewards remain, and the reward track uses Kingdom Credits.
Does Warden cost VP?
Warden costs 2,900 match credits, has an 18-round magazine and a 2x scope. It is an automatic rifle, not a VP purchase. Try short bursts, long-range shots and reload timing instead of judging it only by price.
What is Gauntlet: Glitched?
The mode combines 2v2 fights with upgradeable abilities selected from different Agents. The update also adds Range access while queuing. Review controls and ability descriptions before competitive play.
Your first-session checklist
- Check your Agent's new progression screen without expecting old playtime to become levels.
- Compare Warden using consistent distances and firing patterns.
- Coordinate ability choices with your teammate.
- Record platform, version and reproduction steps if a bug occurs.
Before buying VP
VP buys eligible store cosmetics and differs from match credits. Match account region to product terms when comparing VALORANT VP options. Subtract your balance from the cosmetic's current in-client price. A new patch alone does not require a top-up.
See the VALORANT Battle Pass guide to compare reward tracks. Store offers, progression rewards and match purchases serve different purposes.
