Three Themed Operator Skins:
The “Shepherd” skin for Second Lieutenant Lucas Riggs of the 20th Battalion, Australian Military Forces.
The “Arctic Shadow” skin for Lieutenant Polina Petrova of the 138th Rifle Division, Red Army.
The “Bomber” skin for Captain Wade Jackson of Scouting Squadron Six, United States Navy.
Three Weapon Blueprints:
Prepare for global combat with three legendary weapon blueprints, unlocked immediately when you play Call of Duty: Vanguard for the first time:
The “Breacher” Assault Rifle includes special Tracer Rounds and eight pre-configured attachments. Built upon a weapon that is viable in most combat situations, the “Breacher” leans into its ability to be kitted for close-quarters, with several attachments coming together to maximize its fire rate on a level that competes with the fastest-firing Submachine Guns.
The “Snowstorm” Rifle includes special Tracer Rounds and seven pre-configured attachments. A preferred weapon for one Polina Petrova, this long-range tool can deliver devastating one-shot eliminations with ease. Maximum damage can be achieved through two of the seven attachments on the “Snowstorm,” as a magazine with extra-large caliber bullets and an ammo type that is armor piercing combine to devastate both infantry and vehicular targets.
The “Thunderhead” Submachine Gun that includes special Tracer Rounds and eight pre-configured attachments. Among these attachments for this accuracy-focused Submachine Gun are an extended magazine with 9mm ammunition, a short barrel that increases fire rate slightly and damage range significantly, and a recoil-boosting muzzle that uses that force to further improve fire rate.
Part 4: Additional Pre-Order Benefits
Depending on the edition of Call of Duty: Vanguard that you purchase, there are numerous additional benefits to claim, as follows:
Instant Pre-Order Reward: Night Raid Mastercraft Weapon Blueprint
Anyone who digitally pre-orders any edition of Call of Duty: Vanguard will instantly receive the “Night Raid” Mastercraft Submachine Gun Weapon Blueprint!
Featuring a fierce warplane theme, ready yourself to use the following attachments: a 55 Round Drum for increased magazine capacity, 14.9″ Rifled Barrel for damage range, Muzzle Brake 7.62 for vertical recoil control, a Spetsnaz Stock for improved shooting and aim walking movement speeds, and a unique Quickdot LED Optic.
Evolving through a range impressive in-game visuals depending on your kills, this Ultra-rare item is available to use instantly in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War and Warzone!
Pre-Order Reward: Frontline Weapon Pack
If you digitally pre-order any edition of Call of Duty: Vanguard, expect to receive the Frontline Weapons Pack, available to use in Vanguard and Warzone when the game launches on November 5.
Two Weapon Blueprints:
The “Shredder” Submachine Gun is configured with seven attachments that turn this workhorse into a bigger threat for mid-range engagements. This includes a magazine attachment that increases the caliber of bullets for better damage at range, and a long barrel that improves accuracy, and some stability when maneuvering more slowly. Complete with some additional parts for tempering increased recoil, it allows this weapon to compete with some of the Assault Rifles at those prolonged distances.
The “Wildwood” Submachine Gun is configured with eight attachments, one of which is a barrel that changes the weapon from a fully automatic close-quarters tool to a burst-fire weapon. Combined with a magazine attachment chambered in higher caliber ammunition, this variation on the highly mobile Submachine Gun via the Weapon Blueprint makes it a unique addition to your loadouts on day one. So long as your aim is true, this weapon can be used to aim around corners and down targets with a single burst.
