The prices for each of the three guns are pretty much even, with the Guardian being $200 less than the other two. One thing that sticks out is the high headshot damage on the Guardian.

With equipped armor, you can only reach a max of 150 HP. This means you can easily get one-shot by players using the Guardian. Based on that, Vandal is also capable of delivering some one-taps between the 0-50 meter range, whereas the Phantom can only one-tap at a close range of 0-15 meters.
