Call of Duty: Vanguard pros call for damage mag nerfs after banning STG loadout ActivisionAnother Call of Duty: Vanguard class has been banned from competitive play, as pros slam a \u201ctwo-bullet\u201d STG 44 loadout. Now, players want the setup\u2019s problematic damage mags nerfed too. Call of Duty: Vanguard hasn\u2019t been out for more than a week and players are already finding overpowered guns. Just like the \u201ctwo-shot\u201d 1911 pistol loadout, an STG 44 class is also getting banned from tournaments. This STG loadout relies on two principal new attachments that make it overpowered: the Vital Proficiency and .30 Russian Short Magazine Ammunition. The latter, which was also used on the 1911, is a type of mag that buffs damage \u2014 and players think it\u2019s gone too far. The efforts to get rid of this STG loadout came to a head on November 6, when Atlanta FaZe pro Alec \u2018Arcitys\u2019 Sanderson won a tournament and posted the class setup to Twitter. In his caption, he asked for it to get banned.

The LA Guerrillas\u2019 Austin \u2018SlasheR\u2019 Liddicoat asked \u201cwhy are we using damage rounds?\u201d And the Minnesota ROKKR\u2019s Preston \u2018Priestahh\u2019 Grenier claimed he was \u201cgetting sniped.\u201d Responding to Priestahh, Arcitys laughed about how the gun kills in just two bullets from far away and three bullets up close. Of course, the Vital Proficiency plays a key role in this \u2014 as it applies a headshot multiplier to other areas of the body. It has already been the subject of nerf requests, but the damage mags are also getting attention now. Vanguard players request nerfs to \u201cbroken\u201d damage mags @SHGames Guys, you should take a look at the Vital proficiency + mags that change the weapon’s base damage. Currently it is making the STG and Type-100 kill with only 2 shots if one of them hits the chest. That makes the Vital proficiency not only OP, but basically broken pic.twitter.com\/LG7ruXahxG \u2014 Hayashii (@HayashiXPG) November 9, 2021 In a video shared to Twitter, content creator Hayashii pointed out just how deadly the Vital and damage mag combination is. With both the STG and Type 100, they proved Arcitys correct \u2014 showing how the guns kill in just two bullets using the attachments. So far, the developers at Sledgehammer Games have yet to respond. There were no weapon balancing changes in the November 10 update, but players are hoping for nerfs in a future patch. Until then, it seems that the community will simply need to manually get rid of attachments they deem overpowered.
