All Killstreaks & Field Upgrades in Call of Duty: Vanguard

Call of Duty: Vanguard is introducing a whole lot of Killstreaks and Field Upgrades when it launches on November 5. Let's take a look at at all the Killstreaks and Field Upgrades we know about so far.

The Killstreaks in Call of Duty: Vanguard are conventional, and perhaps a litte weak compared to your standard CoD game. Whilst you can't completely pin a team down to their spawn like you've been able to do in previous CoD's, the return of Dogs is nice to see. Meanwhile, Vanguard's Field Upgrades are very similar to Modern Warfare 2019, with the exception of the Goliath. This is a remote-controlled, kamikaze, miniature tank (don't ask) and it's surprisingly good fun.

  • Dead Silence – Temporarily makes your footsteps silent. Gun, melee and throwing knife kills refresh duration.

What is the Current Call of Duty: Vanguard Meta?

From what we played in the Call of Duty: Vanguard Alpha and Beta, the meta loadout looks something like this:

  • Primary Weapon: STG44 / MP40 / MG42 / NZ41 / Kar98k
  • Secondary Weapon: Machine Pistol / Panzerschreck
  • Lethal: Thermite
  • Tactical: Stuns
  • Perk 1: Ghost / Fortified
  • Perk 2: Radar / Tracker
  • Perk 3: Demolition / Overkill
  • Field Upgrade: Armor Plates

The weapons, equipment, and field upgrades have been feeling great, but we're sure that there are still more unlocks we haven't seen yet. Thus, expect the above meta speculation to change over time.
