The June 30 Call of Duty: Vanguard update brings some considerable changes to Ranked play weapon restrictions and adds stability improvements for the new “Shi No Numa” Zombies map. 

The CoD Vanguard Season 4 update introduced a new Ranked Play season, a new map, and made some weapon changes.

The June 30 update builds upon that update by making a few changes to Ranked Play and Zombies.

Let’s jump right into what’s included in the update.

Vanguard June 30 update patch notes

After not being included at the launch of Season 4, the Ranked Play top 250 skill division and leaderboard are now live. The Marco 5 and Push Dagger have both been restricted in Ranked play.

Shi No Numa has received very positive feedback from the CoD zombies community, as players have been begging for a round-based map since the initial release of the game. The June 30 update addresses several Shi No Numa stability issues.
