WARZONE FEATURES AND UPDATES

  • New Features: Nebula V, Redeploy Balloons, and More. Nebula V Ammo and Bombs create new offensive tactics, while Portable Decontamination Stations offer temporary refuge. Alternatively, take to the skies with Redeploy Balloons and Bomber planes.
  • Explore the Chemical Factory and underground Chemical Weapon Research Labs. Watch for Armored Transport. Fresh points of interest in Caldera are here to shake up those rotations. Axis soldiers patrol these new areas and are found around the island in vehicles… Defeat them for powerful rewards.
  • Caldera Clash at Launch, Rebirth Reinforced Midseason. The massive team fight returns — rank up those weapons and fight for Caldera outside of traditional modes. Meanwhile, there are rumors of a resurgence at Rebirth Island… and we’re not talking about the game mode.

VANGUARD MULTIPLAYER

  • Prove yourself in Ranked Play. Launching alongside the 2022 Call of Duty League season, expect to begin your Ranked journey and play like the pros.
  • Two new Multiplayer maps. Duck through the busy streets of Casablanca or partake in some ski-shooting in Gondola, two midsized maps ready to be mastered.
  • Free Perks, Killstreak, and Equipment in Battle Pass. Prepare to switch up those Loadouts and shoot for a 12-Killstreak — the Season Two Battle Pass is stocked with free Multiplayer content for all to use.

Celebrate Valentine’s Day in Vanguard

Don’t have an IRL Duo for Season Two launch day? Vanguard will feature a Valentine’s Day themed experience with some Double XP opportunities and thematic changes for dropping in around this time. 

Coming in Season: Arms Race and Vehicles — Launch Patch Notes to Drop in the Coming Days

An Arms Race with Armored War Machines is bigger than infantry combat — it’s piloting Motorcycles, Squad Transport Vehicles, and Tanks en route to destroying enemy bases. This and other features are expected to arrive during Season Two. Sledgehammer Games will release their initial Patch Notes next week, including weapon balance changes.

VANGUARD ZOMBIES

  • Dimensions shift and the Dark Aether opens. The undead assault heats up in Egypt’s Eastern Desert, where a portal to the Dark Aether opens alongside other new arenas…
  • A new Artifact gives you strength to conquer the Deceiver. Vercanna the Last joins the fight to tend to your squad’s wounds with Healing Aura… and aid against the three-faced Zaballa the Deceiver.
  • Wonder Weapons to aid with new Objective & Story Quest. Wield the Ray Gun and Decimator Shield alongside new armaments as you partake in Sacrifice and uncover the secret to defeating Kortifex.

VANGUARD AND WARZONE OVERVIEW

  • S.O.T.F. 007 reports for duty. Task Force Yeti is the first line of defense against Nebula V. Start Season Two strong with Anna Drake, available in the Battle Pass.
  • Four New Weapons. Two midrange tools can be found in the Battle Pass, while the Ice Axe and a hard-hitting SMG are slated to drop during the season.

Introducing S.O.T.F. Yeti — Three New Operators Available in Battle Pass and Bundles During Season Two

An elite trio who joined Butcher in a high-risk — and even higher-altitude — raid for Nebula V, Task Force Yeti is the seventh Special Operations group out of Vanguard’s forerunners for tactical warfare. Each brings its own favored weapon and background to the front lines, with Austrian assaulter Anna Drake leading the pack via Season Two’s Battle Pass.

Anna Drake (Launch) fights for vengeance and plans to release her fury on those who murdered all she loved

A true gunner who saw action in both World Wars, Thomas Bolt (Launch) is not afraid to dig his heels into the harsh winter ground

Gustavo Dos Santos (In-Season) is unafraid to engage up close, with his preferred weapon being an SMG

Four New Weapons

Operators will get their hands on several classic armaments to bolster their Loadouts across Multiplayer, Zombies, and Warzone

  • The preferred weapon of Anna Drake, the KG M40: Assault Rifle (launch) is a high-caliber fully automatic weapon that rivals the first three Assault Rifles unlocked in Vanguard, boasting the second highest damage per shot in its category, a similar effective range to the NZ-41, and a fire rate above 600 RPM.
  • Thomas Bolt’s favored weapon, the Whitley: LMG (Launch) is highly customizable, and even in its base form provides a niche role with the best damage per shot compared to its four Vanguard competitors. 
  • The Ice Axe (In-Season) is a strong melee tool that is deadly enough to be a one-hit kill no matter where it hits
  • The Armaguerra 43: SMG (In-Season) is an advanced submachine gun can be unlocked in one of two ways: through an SMG-based challenge or via Store Bundle to be released later this season, which features a Weapon Blueprint from this weapon’s family.

Stay Tuned for Battle Pass Intel, Guides, and More
