Call of Duty: Vanguard – Sun Nerfs and Dognado Removals Coming After Beta

Sledgehammer Games is also "taking a thorough pass at weapon balancing, audio mixing, and visibility" with further details coming later.

Call of Duty: Vanguard’s cross-platform multiplayer beta has recently wrapped up and Sledgehammer Games has discussed changes coming based on feedback. The developer noted that all reports and gameplay clips have “assisted our developers in squashing bugs, improving features, and refining the maps and modes for launch.” One of the biggest changes is a nerf to the sun, which means reducing its flare on certain maps.

The Attack Dogs killstreak will also be “tweaked” and dognados will be “removed.” Spawns in the kitchen for Hotel Royal, which earned it the “murder kitchen” moniker, will also be tuned. Players can also expect open mic lobbies in Search and Destroy to be closed. In addition to all of this, Sledgehammer is also “taking a thorough pass at weapon balancing, audio mixing, and visibility.” More details on that will be provided later.

Call of Duty: Vanguard is set to release on November 5th for Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PS4, PS5 and PC. Among some of the features that have been confirmed include support for Clans, 12 Operators at launch, weather effects and much more. There’s more than a month until launch so expect plenty of trailers and gameplay footage until then.
