The latest update forNovember 18 brings a nerf to shotgun class weapons, an issue that manyCall of Duty Vanguardplayers have been voicing their frustrations about. Adjustments have been made to the ADS spead, or bloom, for base weapons without attachments. In addtion, Sledgehammer made a full balance pass on all shotgun class weapons adjusting range, pellet spread, hipfire penalty, and more.
Call of Duty Vanguardplayers taking part in the Search and Destroy playlist have also been dealing with a frustrating glitch since launch where the attacking team could easily get intel on the opponents. Once the bomb was planted by attackers, extra intel was given that showed when a defensive player was defusing the bomb. With this update, this difusal glitch has been fixed.
Themuch maligned Zombies mode inCall of Duty Vanguardhas also recieved a number of fixes in this update as well. The patch addresses an Exfil issue where, even after failing, the player can still interact with the Exfil portal. In addition, Legendary Covenants should now appear as expected for all players.
Not mentioned in the patch notes is the arrival of a double XP event across all platforms. Over the weekend, players can earn double XP progression in all areas of the game including account XP, weapon XP, operator XP, battle pass XP, and clan XP.
Call of Duty: Vanguardis out now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
