Call of Duty: Vanguard is a first person shooter developed by Sledgehammer Games and published by Activision on Xbox One and Series S/X, PlayStation 4 and 5 and Microsoft Windows on November 5th, 2021. It is the eighteenth game in the Call of Duty franchise and the sixth main WWII title in the series, following Sledgehammer's previous game, Call of Duty: WWII. It features a campaign mode with characters from multiple Allied countries fighting on the Western, Eastern, African and Pacific fronts. It also has a Zombies mode, which is developed by Treyarch instead of Sledgehammer.
The following weapons appear in the video game Call of Duty: Vanguard:
Overview
Like Modern Warfare and Black Ops Cold War, Vanguard uses the Gunsmith system for its weapon attachments and customisation, which includes new upgrades such as incendiary ammo, seen on some weapons in Alpha gameplay.
Multiplayer features a new mode called Champion Hill, where small teams of two or three players battle in small arenas to be the only survivor. In between rounds, they can use the cash they've earned to purchase upgrades and better weapons.
Pistols
Colt M1911
A Colt M1911 appears under the "1911" name and has 8 round magazines by default, which is anachronistic, as 8 round magazines did not exist for the M1911 in WWII.
Mauser C96 Hybrid
A hybrid of different Mauser C96 pistols is seen in the Alpha, listed under the same "Machine Pistol" moniker from WWII. As of the Beta, it uses ".30 Jaeger" ammo, possibly a change of the name .30 Mauser (an alternate designation of the 7.63x25mm Mauser cartridge) to avoid copyright issues, however the word "Mauser" is seen in other ammo types, confusing matters somewhat. It is full-auto despite its lack of a selector switch, and has a 10-round magazine by default, although various magazine options are available, including 8 and 20 round 9x19mm magazines (the former of which is considered a "fast mag", yet confusingly it is non-detachable and uses a 10 round stripper clip instead of an 8 round stripper clip), a 40 round drum for "7.62 Tokarev", presumably 7.62x25mm, which is extremely similar in dimensions to the 7.63x25mm Mauser the C96 actually uses, which may indicate the developers confused the two, and finally "8mm Nambu" 20 round magazines, which is a caliber the C96 never used. Note Yugoslavia manufactured 9mm M712 pistols, making the 9mm conversions real.
Luger P08
A Luger P08 is seen in the reveal trailer and in artwork for the Dead Silence field upgrade, fitted with a suppressor.
Tokarev TT-33
The Tokarev TT-33 is featured in the beta as the "RATT", taking the TT from the pistol's actual name. It incorrectly holds 9 rounds by default and the rear sight is not attached to the slide, causing it to float in place as the slide locks back.
Submachine Guns
M1A1 Thompson
An M1A1 Thompson appears in the Alpha as the default weapon in Champion Hill mode, fitted with a 50 drum magazine by default, which is impossible for the M1 Thompsons. Sledgehammer refers to it as the "M1928", which is the Thompson variant that could use drums. When reloading, the drum is correctly removed via a sideways movement (as correct as a drum on an M1A1 can be, anyway). An extended drum attachment holds 100 rounds. The initial draw animation involves the player letting the bolt go forward and chamber a round, then they flick the safety off.
In the beta a conversion to .30-06 is available.
MP40
The MP40 is an SMG available in the game.
MP41
The "Shredder" submachine gun in the Frontline weapons pack is a heavily customized MP41. It also briefly appears in the Alpha trailer, kitted out with a skeleton Thompson grip, an MP18 barrel and a magazine similar in design to the Trommelmagazin 08.
Owen
The Owen Gun is carried by 2nd Lieutenant Riggs at the beginning of the trailer.
PPSh-41
Soviet Soldiers are seen carrying PPSh-41s at the beginning of the trailer.
Sten Mk II
The Sten Mk II is featured in the game.
Sten Mk I/Sten Mk VI Hybrid
The "Wildwood" submachine gun in the Frontline weapons pack is a hybrid combining original Sten Mk I with the pistol grip, fixed stock and suppressor from the Sten Mk VI.
Type 100
A Type 100 submachine gun is used by an Allied soldier.
Shotguns
Becker revolving shotgun
The Becker revolving shotgun appears in the game as the "Revolving Shotgun". Being a rare and sophisticated European shotgun (only about 100 examples being ever produced, at a time when only the U.S. has thought of issuing combat shotguns), it was unlikely to have been used as a military weapon during WWII in reality. In the Stalingrad Demo, it is seen being used by German soldiers. At the start of every reload, the ejector rod is correctly used to remove the last spent shell, however it is not used for the rest of the shells, which is incorrect.
A fictional 3 round magazine is available as the fast mag for this weapon.
Browning Auto-5
The Browning Auto-5 appears in the game as the "Auto-Loading Shotgun". The empty reload animation features the "Speed-load" feature that the Auto-5 became famous for - with an empty shotgun and the bolt locked back, loading a shell into the magazine will immediately chamber the shell as soon as the operator removes their loading hand. However, this feature was introduced in 1953 with the 2-piece carrier. Any earlier examples will need to have the carrier button/bolt release button held down in order to load the magazine, and the "Speed-load" feature is not present before 1953, making this feature anachronistic. One of the attachments allows you to reload all 5 shells at once, making it far faster than the base reload. Another attachment adds the same fictional magazine from WWII's "Toggle-Action" shotgun as a 7 round detachable magazine.
Rifles
Breda PG
The Costa Rican contract Breda PG returns from WWII as the "ITRA Burst". As of the Beta, it incorrectly uses 7.92x57mm ammunition. A fictional 12 round fast magazine is available, and the weapon fires at 950 RPM, which is incorrect as the real weapon fired at 600 RPM.
Lee-Enfield No.4 Mk. I
The Lee-Enfield No.4 Mk.I is seen in promotional media. It is also seen in the hands of British paratroopers as well.
Karabiner 98k
The Karabiner 98k rifle appears in the game. Unlike in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, the rounds left on the stripper clip when reloading are tracked properly, which applies to other stripper-clip loaded weapons too. The stripper clip is used with iron sights or other small scopes - larger sniper scopes use round-by-round reloads, as the chamber is blocked and stripper clips cannot be used.
A fictional 3 round detachable magazine exists as the fast mag option - detachable magazines would never work with a Mauser rifle due to the design of the receiver rails and feed system.
M1 Garand
M1 Garand rifles are used by US marines in the reveal trailer. It appears in the Beta, classed as a marksman rifle. The mid-clip tactical reload features the player character retaining the half-spent clip in the rifle, but the chambered round is not shown ejecting as they pull back the op-rod/charging handle. Unlike in Call of Duty: WWII, this is not a "sticky" Garand, and thus does not need to have the bolt pushed or smacked back into battery after loading a new clip.
Mosin Nagant M1891/30
The Mosin Nagant M1891/30 appears in the game as the "3-Line Rifle". Reloading with a round left in the rifle results in your player character covering the breach to stop the round from being ejected. When performing an empty reload, the player character still does this, which should realistically result in there being a spent case at the bottom of the magazine, burned fingertips, and only 4 live rounds being loaded into the rifle.
A very anachronistic detachable 3 round magazine appears as the fast mag option for the Mosin.
Sturmgewehr 44
The Sturmgewehr 44 appears in the game as the "STG44". It is used anachronistically in the campaign levels set in Stalingrad in August 1942 when in reality it was first issued in late 1943.
Modifications include an extended drum magazine appears to be a heavily modified MG42 drum seemingly rechambered for the 7.92x33mm Kurz, which holds 45 rounds.
Volkssturmgewehr
The Volkssturmgewehr appears as the "Volk".
Machine Guns
Bren Gun
A British soldier is seen holding a Bren gun in the trailer of the Stalingrad Demo Play-through. It appears in the Beta with a much more accurate fire rate than in Call of Duty: WWII.
Charlton Automatic Rifle
A Charlton Automatic Rifle is fired by 2Lt. Riggs in the reveal trailer. It appears in the Beta as an assault rifle under the same "NZ-41" name it had in WWII and its model and animations are mirrored versus reality. The standard-size 10-round SMLE magazine somehow holds 30 rounds.
Degtyaryov DP-27
A Degtyaryov DP-27 with the pistol grip of the DPM variant is indexed as the "DP27" in Vanguard. It has a noticeably higher rate of fire than the real weapon, and the pan magazine holds 63 rounds instead of 47. An upgraded version holds 105 rounds.
M1918A2 Browning Automatic Rifle
The M1918A2 Browning Automatic Rifle appears in the Alpha with a longer handguard by default, while the HUD has the correct handguard length. It is able to switch between full-auto (at a slow fire rate of 400 RPM) and semi-auto, which is incorrect: the real M1918A2's fire selector instead had a slow full-auto and fast full-auto option, while the earlier M1918 could switch between semi-auto and fast full-auto (500-650 RPM). A 30 round curved magazine is available, which supposedly fires .50 BMG rounds. In the Beta it is classed as an assault rifle.
Anachronistic 10 round aftermarket magazines are available as the "12 round fast mags", which holds 2 rounds too many.
MG42
The MG42, fitted with a drum, appears in the game. Said drum holds 125 rounds, which is incorrect, the MG42 had a 50 round drum. For some reason it lacks a muzzle in the multiplayer by default and more bizarrely the proper muzzle isn't available even as attachment.
Type 96
The Type 96 LMG is briefly seen in the trailer.
Vickers Mk. I
A man-portable depiction of the Vickers Mk. I is available in the game as a killstreak called the "Frankengun" in the Alpha and "Deathmachine" in the Beta. It has 100 rounds, which are explosive, as well as unusable AA sights. One of the voice lines when deploying it yells "Spinning up Deathmachine!" implying that the devs believe that Vickers Mk. I is some form of gatling gun, not unlike the M134 used in previous games in the franchise.
Grenades & Explosives
Mk 2 Grenade
American Mk 2 hand grenades can be seen in the African section of the trailer.
Mk.V CN Gas Grenade
The Mk.V CN Gas Grenade appears as the "Gas Grenade".
Model 24 Stielhandgranate
Model 24 Stielhandgranates can be seen lying on the ground next to a German helmet in the teaser trailer.
Mills Bomb
Mills Bombs are carried by British paratroopers in the reveal trailer. They also appear in artwork for the Armour Plates field upgrade and the Warmachine field upgrade.
No. 69 Mk. 1
The No. 69 Mk. 1 is seen in the Alpha as a stun grenade. The character throws it using only one hand in a rather tactical and too modern manner for the setting due to reusing Modern Warfare mechanics.
No. 82 "Gammon Bomb"
The No. 82 Gammon Bomb appears as the "Impact Grenade" in the Alpha.
S-Mine
The S-Mine returns in the Alpha as the "Proximity Mine", functioning like a M18 Claymore from other titles.
Unidentified smoke grenade
Unidentified stun/smoke grenade is used by a British paratrooper in the reveal trailer.
Flamethrowers
Flammenwerfer 41
The German Flammenwerfer 41 is available as part of the "Flamenaut" streak, which also includes a heavy armoured suit like the "Flame Trooper" from Battlefield 1. This suit obscures your vision but gives you much more health.
M2 Flamethrower
An M2 Flamethrower is seen in on a table in the buy round of the "Champion Hill" mode.
Launchers
M1 Bazooka
The M1 Bazooka appears in the beta.
Panzerschreck
The Panzerschreck appears in the beta.
"Warmachine"
The "Warmachine" killstreak appears to be some sort of cannon that fires impact-detonated grenades.
Mounted Weapons
3.7 cm Bordkanone
A German Stuka dive bomber in the trailer can be seen with two 3.7 cm Bordkanonen.
3 Inch/50 Mark 2 Model 4
The stranded American navy cargo ship has several 3 Inch/50 Mark 2 Model 4 deck guns.
5cm Pak 38
A 5 cm Pak 38 Anti Tank gun can be seen on the multiplayer map.
What appears to be a German 15 cm TbtsK C/36 naval gun is seen during the trailer.
Besa
The Besa machine gun is seen mounted in British Crusader Tanks.
Browning M1919A4
M4 Sherman tanks have hull-mounted Browning M1919A4 machine guns.
Browning M2
Browning M2 machine guns appear multiple times throughout the trailer, on Douglas SBD Dauntless dive bombers and a Sherman tank in the Pacific.
Degtyaryov DT
A Soviet T-34/85 with a hull-mounted Degtyaryov DT is seen during the Stalingrad Demo Play-through. It is worth mentioning that this model is anachronistic for the Stalingrad scenario; the earlier T-34/76 would be more correct.
MG 13
An MG13 machine gun is mounted on an Sd.Kfz. 231 armored car in the reveal trailer.
MG34
The MG34 is mounted on German tanks in the reveal trailer.
MG81
The MG81 is mounted in the nose of Heinkel He 177 Greif bombers seen in the reveal trailer and the Warzone event.
MG131
The MG131 is mounted in the Heinkel He 177 Greif bombers seen in the reveal trailer and the Warzone event.
MG151
The MG 151 cannon is mounted in the Heinkel He 177 Greif bombers seen in the reveal trailer and the Warzone event.
Type 10 120mm Dual-Purpose Gun
Japanese aircraft carrier Akagi has several Type 10 120mm Dual-Purpose Guns.
A heavy Japanese Anti-air gun is mounted on the "Gavutu" map which is a Type 89 12.7 cm/40 naval gun.
Type 96 25 mm AT/AA Gun
A Type 96 25 mm AT/AA Gun is fired by Japanese soldiers in the reveal trailer.
Type 97 Aircraft Machine Gun

Type 99 Cannon
The "Zeros" are also armed with two wing-mounted Type 99 cannons.
Unusable Weapons
M2 Mortar
The M2 Mortar is present as the "Mortar Barrage" killstreak.
