With Vanguard Patch 1.05 comes Call of Duty: Vanguard's first update, eliminating a number of annoying problems. We have the full patch notes for Update 1.05 right here for you!
Call of Duty: Vanguard has been out for about a week now, and we're already having a lot of fun. Yes, Zombies is not the best, and the campaign is pretty much just some classic Call of Duty monotony, but the multiplayer is top-notch. As with every game launch, Vanguard has to struggle with one or the other problem, but compared to Black Ops Cold War, the game feels far more finished and polished. Update 1.05 is the first smaller update for CoD: Vanguard, which addresses some of the more annoying bugs. We take a look at the complete Update 1.05 Patch Notes...
CoD: Vanguard Update 1.05 Patch Notes
Sledgehammer has not yet released any official patch notes for Update 1.05 on the Call of Duty Blog. Perhaps Sledgehammer Games will take a different approach to patch notes than Treyarch and Infinity Ward. Instead, they pointed us to their Trello Board, where we can check out all the issues that they are currently working on. There is also a Reddit Post that lists the full patch notes. Enough talk, though, let's take a look!
An update has been deployed in #Vanguard! Players can expect general performance improvements, fixes to some spawn bugs, weapon progression bugs, and Combat Shields will now protect when stowed.
