Call of Duty Vanguard Nov 18 update patch notes: Bloom fixed, shotguns nerfed, more

The Call of Duty: Vanguard November 18 update is bringing a long-awaited fix for weapon bloom as well as nerfing shotguns among other changes.

Sledgehammer Games have been on the ball just a couple of weeks into Vanguard’s release with quite a few patches fixing notable issues.

While only a few things were changed in the latest update, the patch touches on big problems that the community has been raising concerns on.

In this patch, Sledgehammer Games is finally fixing the annoying weapon bloom as well as curtailing overpowered shotguns.

Vanguard bloom fixed on weapons

When it became apparent that bloom was in Vanguard the entire CoD community went into an uproar.

However, SHG announced that they have reduced bloom for base weapons, giving them tighter recoil patterns. They also noted that players can equip attachments that improve accuracy to reduce bloom. Attachments that lower the accuracy of a weapon will increase this effect.

Xclusive Ace has already gone ahead and tested this change out which appears to have worked really well. Weapons now have a much tighter spread and should be easier to control their recoil.

While this was one issue that was fixed SHG also went ahead and nerfed the overpowered class of shotguns in Vanguard.

All Vanguard shotguns nerfed

Shotguns have been running over the competition in Vanguard as these weapons have been responsible for mutiple sub-minute V2 Rockets.

In the update patch notes, the devs said they are nerfing all of the shotguns by lowering the effective range, pellet spread and hipfire penalty on them.

While this was all the information provided, SHG also noted there would be more changes to come with shotguns so keep a close eye out for those and we will update you when that is revealed.
