Vanguard Shipment

Shipment has launched in CoD Vanguard on November 17 in public matches ahead of the free access weekend planned for the game.

Sledgehammer are reintroducing the popular map that’s been shelved since Modern Warfare 2019. The chaotic map provides nonstop action in a really tight space and is the go-to locale for many 1v1 challenges.

Vanguard PlayStation 5 storage bug

The patch also addressed an issue for PlayStation 5 players who couldn’t access Call of Duty: Vanguard without enough storage space in their console.

If the player had less than 40 gigabytes free on their PS5, then Vanguard wouldn’t start up at all. People started raising the issue with SHG, who are now implementing a fix that will hopefully solve the problem.
