CoD Vanguards’ final major update doesn’t reinvent the wheel, but it offers plenty of fresh content to carry players over until Modern Warfare 2.

Call of Duty Vanguard never reached the same heights as past titles; however, Season 5 Reloaded gives players a reason to log back in for one more go.

The game’s final update adds the Lienna 57 LMG, BP50 AR, and a new map for players to enjoy. Season 5’s first Vanguard update introduced Beheaded, small-scale map based on a war-torn Times Square.

Vanguard Season 5 Reloaded update: What’s changing?

Fortress is a multiplayer map taking place in a desert graveyard surrounded by the remains of old ships. The developers described the map as medium-sized with a “loose” three-lane structure.

Beheaded, Paradise, and Radar all received minor updates. Players can no longer reach an unintended location on Beheaded, and equipment and Field Upgrades will no longer fall through the bridge on Paradise.

Sledgehammer also added Blueprint Gun Game into Private Matches and improved visibility while firing the RA 225.
