Along with an update to Vanguard, Sledgehammer Games also rolled out a fresh patch for Vanguard\u2019s Zombies that buffed the Ray Gun, and more. The Ray Gun wasn\u2019t added until months after Vanguard\u2019s initial release, which was widely mocked by players. However, this latest update provides a nice buff to the weapon. Ray Gun buffed in Vanguard Zombies Following community feedback, the classic weapon was met with increased base damage, Pack-a-Punch damage, splash damage radius, ammo count, and ammo pickups. Base damage also increased from 300 to 400, and Pack-a-punch damage will now increase by a factor of 50% at each tier. Besides the changes to the Ray Gun, changes to zombie speed on Terra Maledicta were also addressed, as well as changes to the Decimator Shield. The Decimator changes were requested by the community as well, and increase the base melee damage and its effectiveness on enemy zombies.
