CoD players highlight major flaw with Vanguard\u2019s \u2018disastrous\u2019 perk system ActivisionCall of Duty Vanguard is the latest installment in the franchise, and before it\u2019s even been officially launched on November 5, many players are calling out the \u201cscuffed\u201d perk system in the game. Vanguard brings the CoD franchise back to World War II, following on from Sledgehammer Games\u2019 2017 entry CoD: WWII. As news and features have slowly filtered out, as well as some reveals from the beta gameplay, players have been getting a better idea of how Vanguard might end up playing out \u2014 and the perks are raising some eyebrows. In particular, the Perk 1 slot looks particularly stacked, and players aren\u2019t happy. With some players able to access Vanguard early and have a look at everything that\u2019s available, the perks quickly became a strong topic of discussion. It was revealed that the Perk 1 slot will hold all of Ninja, Fortified (Flak Jacket) and Survival Training (Tactical Mask), meaning players will have to make some serious decisions. Two-time CoD world champion Patrick \u2018Aches\u2019 Price said that this combination, as well as the game having no Trophy Systems, is a \u201crecipe for disaster.\u201d Ninja, Flak, and Tac are all perk 1s w\/ no trophy\u2019s in the game? Recipe for disaster my goodness. \u2014 PATTYP (@ACHES) November 3, 2021 Former Challengers player Defrag, who recently announced his switch to competing in Halo Infinite, said that \u201ccreate a class is scuffed\u201d as a result of this. https:\/\/twitter.com\/Defraaag\/status\/1456034484571316224?s=20 Not everybody was against this, though. Nik, for example, thinks that \u201cpeople rely too heavily on these perks in CoD.\u201d I’m not mad about this. People rely too heavily on these perks in CoD anymore. \u2014 Nik (@adiceus_) November 4, 2021 Whether this changes over time remains to be seen, but it\u2019s fair to say that competitive players, in particular, aren\u2019t impressed by these perk choices. With ranked and official CDL rulesets all still under wraps, the game could look very different on the competitive side of things down the line.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
