Call of Duty: Vanguard update adjusts spawns, changes point blank sniper challenge
Sledgehammer Games has released another update for Call of Duty: Vanguard that addresses more issues.
This latest update puts a stop to a spawn trap in the cave on Numa Numa and also prevents players from spawning close to enemies on Desert Siege. In addition to this, bugs that caused the FOV to lock, reticle challenges not to track, and the clan XP bar display to break have been fixed.
There’s also a change to Point Blank challenges on sniper rifles to increase the range. Read the full patch notes below:
