Vanguard weapons

With CoD Vanguard taking us back to World War II, classic weapons are back in focus for this year’s release. Before the new title arrives, get up to speed with the weapons you’ll be using across multiplayer and Warzone.

After a few years with modern weaponry in hand, we’re heading back to the 1940s. With a focus on the WWII era once again, players will be dropping into battle with timely guns to match the period.

While some of these weapons may be familiar to CoD veterans, there are a few new additions to be excited about as well.

Before Vanguard takes over for the next year, here’s a complete overview of every confirmed weapon for the upcoming title.
