We\u2019ve got the full patch notes below to get you up to speed. The CoD Vanguard Season 1.5 update was rushed out ahead of schedule at 4PM PT on Tuesday, January 11. From bug fixes to sizeable gameplay tweaks, there\u2019s plenty to wrap your head around. Notably, the update buffed a number of snipers, nerfed incendiary damage, and sought to fix a number of dreaded packet burst issues. After Season 1\u2019s unideal reception, these changes appear to be a step in the right direction. On January 11, Sledgehammer broke down the full update that arrived as part of Vanguard Season 1.5. The #Vanguard Season 1.5 update goes live today at 4 PM PT! \u2714\ufe0f Bug & stability fixes \u2714\ufe0f Weapon balancing \u2714\ufe0f Content updates\u2014 Sledgehammer Games (@SHGames) January 11, 2022 CoD Vanguard incendiary nerfs Fire ammunition rounds have become a serious cause for concern among Call of Duty players. While this is particularly prominent in Warzone, the issue also exists in Vanguard. To address the controversy, incendiary damage was nerfed and Dauntless was buffed to counter fire. CoD Vanguard Sniper buffs and Shotgun nerfs Music to the ears of many players, a number of weapon balancing changes also arrived in the new update. Of note, the M1 Garand, Type 99, 3-Line Rifle, and Kar98 all received buffs. Additionally, Hollow Point also had its damage range buffed \u2013 likely in response to the close-quarters shotgun meta. CoD Vanguard Mortar Barrage & perk changes The Mortar Barrage has come under fire as a seriously frustrating killstreak, with some players even begging for the streak to be removed entirely. Instead, Vanguard\u2019s devs have opted to reduce the killstreak\u2019s duration and the number of strikes in the latest update. Further, a number of perks have been tweaked to change the flow of games. High Alert received a nerf while Dauntless and Fortified were both buffed. Control, bug fixes, spawn changes Preparing the game for better competitive play, a number of changes were also laid out to fix bugs and issues with the Control mode alongside bug fixes elsewhere. Spawn adjustments are sure to please competitive players, while a number of packet burst stability improvements and camo progression bug solutions should be of interest to everyone.
