Call of Duty Vanguard is building momentum ahead of its November 5 launch. Many players have had the opportunity to play the Alpha, Closed Beta, and now Open Beta, with the beta currently extended. One of the things those who have played the betas have managed to do is get their hands on the CoD Vanguard weapons, along with trying a few maps (and stare at overly bright suns) and report bugs. Due to this, we can now compile all a CoD Vanguard weapons list.
As for what you can expect in the CoD Vanguard weapons list, you will see the weapons in the beta. along with some leaks showcased ahead of the weekend. The leaks go into detail on many more maps, weapons and other content to come for the game’s full launch.
We have included a confirmed section on the weapon list to differentiate between leaked weapons and weapons in the betas. Be aware that the leaked weapons have descriptions too that are in the same style as the weapons in the game. Take them with a pinch of salt, and we will update the article when we know more at launch. If you’re interested, you can find the leak megathread here.
