You will have to pull the trigger more rapidly for multiple shots, but your shots will be more accurate.įield Upgrade: Jammer Single-fire assaultįield Upgrade: Field mic Multiplayer mix-ups Assault rifles do suffer from the bloom mechanic, but this can be circumvented by pressing left on the D pad to convert your weapon to a single shot instead of an automatic or semi-automatic fire pattern. If you want something that is going to fire a little more rapidly, you can opt for an assault rifle instead. However, the majority of the sniper rifles in Call of Duty: Vanguard are bolt action due to the time period. Sniper rifles and marksman rifles do not suffer from the aforementioned bloom mechanic, so we’re not forced to give up perks that can hasten aim down sight time. That’s where tactical campers become the unsung heroes of multiplayer. Close quarters run and gunįield Upgrade: Dead drop Mid-range run and gunįield Upgrade: Dead silence Tactical camper loadoutsĬall of Duty fans have a long, sordid history with the term “camper.” Realistically, though, if you’re playing an objective-based mode that requires defending a specific point having the entire team scooting across the map at breakneck speed doesn’t really help anybody win. Instead, Vanguard makes it necessary to find a balance between accuracy and sprint to fire time, however.
Traditionally, players may have wanted to go for attachments that would increase weapon aspects like sprint to fire time or damage velocity for a run and gun build, but the bloom mechanic turns that plan on its head. This results in shots becoming less accurate at medium to long range, and becomes worse the longer the player holds the trigger down. Sledgehammer Games has introduced a severe “bloom” mechanic into Vanguard, which causes assault rifles and SMGs to have bullet spread when continuously firing. Run and gun players have taken a pretty heavy hit as far as Vanguard’s multiplayer is concerned. If you’re looking to branch out and try another class, however, we have some of the best loadouts currently available regardless of your playstyle. This is a good opportunity to experiment with what attachments and weapons best suit your playstyle.Ĭurrently, it seems the majority of players are holding on to the STG-44 and MP40 as they’re both readily available, and using them heavily while leveling up to gain access to other guns unlocks a majority of their attachments. You’ll have to reach level 55 overall to have access to all of the weapons and perks, however, and you’ll also need to level up each weapon gradually via its own XP system before you can access all attachments.
Still, certain weapons eventually find their way to the top of everybody’s custom class list, ultimately becoming the “meta” for the game, until a patch comes along to either nerf or buff them.Īt launch, there were over 30 firearms in Call of Duty: Vanguard’s weapon list. There are nearly as many different playstyles for Call of Duty‘s multiplayer as there are people playing the game. Bump up your elimination/death ratio with these custom classes.
