Modes

Vanguard Royale

We've created a brand new Battle Royale feel, true to the spirit of Vanguard.

This new mode will focus on a few key pillars:

Dogfighting Planes & Anti-Air Gainsay
- Jump into Fighter Planes to pelting downward hurting on foes or caput for the Anti-Aircraft Guns to shoot them out of the skies.

  - These volition be announced and appear on the Tac Map as a ruby circle, so eyes to the skies!

In add-on to the above, a number of changes should be expected, including but not express to:

Larger Initial Circumvolve
- The radii and times for Circle collapses have been rebalanced to adapt dogfighting further into the mid-belatedly game. The overall game length remains the same as Battle Royale.
Public Events
- The new Public Consequence construction is as follows:
  - Circle 1
    - Weapon Crates or Cash Drops
  - Circle two
    - Loadout Drops

  - Circle 5
    - Restock
  - Circle 6
    - Loadout Drops
  - Circumvolve 7 & 8
    - Public Events conclude, you're on your own!

Inspired by the positive reception of Operation: Flashback, the team wanted to bring these Public Events beyond to Vanguard Royale. We also heard the feedback that Players yet wanted to feel a sense of strategy and mastery, so we have fabricated some key changes to remove the haphazardness of Public Events in this way.

Buy Stations (Vanguard Royale)
- Loadout Markers will be available for purchase after the Loadout Driblet Public Consequence.

Whilst the overall game time for Battle Royale remains aligned with the Verdansk feel, nosotros have used our learnings and findings from the past two years of Warzone development to refine the circle speeds to better reflect the size and topography of Caldera, with slower Circumvolve endmost speeds just a faster time between Circles to give players more than fourth dimension to traverse the tiptop!

Gameplay

Flavour One comes with more than than but a shiny new map – including a slew of brand new features and of import changes to features you lot've familiarized yourself with already.

New Vehicles

- With room for two in the forepart and however-many-you-tin can-fit in the back, the Utility Truck is a powerhouse cargo and transport vehicle that shakes off incoming fire while plowing through whatever terrain stupid enough to make it its way. Additional variant swaps cargo space for high-powered AA attachment so you lot can dominion the skies and the basis.
Squad Transport
- Active turns and a frame built to take penalisation make the Team Send ideal for relocating up to four Operators beyond the battlefield. Best-in-form break devours off-road obstacles for breakfast, and a ripping meridian speed means plenty of dust for your enemies to eat.

New Contracts

Three new types of Contract will spawn in Caldera including:

[TOP SECRET]

New Tac Map

We've brought you a new look to compliment the beauty of a 1940s Caldera!
Players are at present able to ping on the Tac Map after beingness eliminated or while in the Gulag.

New Mechanics

Flight
- Players are at present able to operate the Fighter Plane. Take to the skies! But don't become too comfy.
Anti-Shipping Gun
- Fixed to the footing or mounted on the back of a Utility Truck, apply this heavy duty Weaponry to articulate the skies of those pesky planes.

Purchase Station

We will continue to monitor the strength of this Field Upgrade over the season.

Melee Damage
- Melee and non-Melee Weapons will now require at least three hits to achieve Melee Finisher damage.

- Semtex
  - Damage increased to 74/150, up from 70/140
- Throwing Knife
  - Damage increased to 250, upward from 200, on hits to Upper Body and Headshots

Lethal Equipment has been revised to pack a heavier punch. This rest pass should provide more versatility and provide more impactful hits for Players not at max plates. With this change if a lethal did not down a actor with full plates it still will not.

Gas Mask
- The Gas Mask animation will now wait for reloading, Armor Plate insertion, or Grenade throwing animations to complete.

We know that the Gas Mask is a crucial tool for survival but at times it can also exist detrimental. This change is intended to maintain Player agency and provide more command around the mask, while nonetheless giving players already inside the circle the tactical edge.
