Overpowered CoD Vanguard pistol banned as it can \u201c2-shot\u201d across the map Activision \/ PixabayA Call of Duty: Vanguard pistol has already been banned from tournaments, as a 1911 loadout can effectively \u201ctwo-shot\u201d enemies from across the map. Unsurprisingly, pros immediately rallied for a ban. Call of Duty: Vanguard has been out for under a week, having launched on November 5. And, as is the case with most large releases, players have been diving deep into the game\u2019s options and discovering some\u2026 concerning situations. With a franchise-high 10 attachments per gun in Vanguard, there\u2019s more room than ever for overpowered weaponry. And one such example has been a Vanguard 1911 pistol loadout, which is apparently a quasi-sniper at range. After the 1911 class began emerging on November 7, it was quickly banned from CMG tournament play. But, for those who want to be annoying in quick play with it, here you go. \u201cTwo-shot\u201d Vanguard 1911 pistol loadout oh, Both female sentinels make 0 noise while mantling & this pistol 2 bullets no matter where pic.twitter.com\/vmaGfmuFon \u2014 Dylan (@Flexd_) November 8, 2021 As you can see in Flexd\u2019s tweet, the class uses nine of the 1911\u2019s 10 total attachments. Muzzle: F8 Stabilizer – Barrel: Gracey Short No. 2 – Optic: Slate Reflector – Trigger Action: Hair Trigger – Magazine: .30 Russian Short – Ammo Type: Hollow Point – Rear Grip: Fabric Grip – Proficiency: Fleet – Kit: Quick – While many in the replies asked why he \u201cspilled\u201d the details to the masses, others simply called for bans. Flexd described it as a pistol that \u201ctwo-bullets no matter where,\u201d so one can imagine why it\u2019d be a particularly strong secondary. Vanguard 1911 loadout banned from tourneys \ud83d\udea8Vanguard Rules Update\ud83d\udea8 \ud83d\udd38Effective 7pm EST \u2013 The 1911 Pistol will be restricted in all tournament & ladder matches.https:\/\/t.co\/YCBoOCPW2t pic.twitter.com\/J4h4wBRuqH \u2014 CMG (@CMG_Esports) November 8, 2021 In response, CMG banned the 1911 from all matches on November 8. That\u2019s about three days for it to get removed from money play, barely enough time for many to even realize the gun was a problem. One example was the New York Subliners\u2019 James \u2018Clayster\u2019 Eubanks who asked why the pistol was banned in the replies. Quickly, former pro Trei \u2018Zer0\u2019 Morris and others explained that it\u2019s because the gun is \u201ctwo bullets\u201d and some of the attachments don\u2019t appear in kill cam, so you can\u2019t simply ban said attachments. With Vanguard out for such a brief amount of time and Warzone Pacific integration coming next month, you can be sure that players are keeping an eye out for anything that could be OP. Hopefully that helps Sledgehammer patch some of these shenanigans out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
