Call of Duty: Vanguard guns arrive early in Warzone Season 6 update
Two Call of Duty: Vanguard weapons have arrived early in Warzone and have been added to Gunsmith, but they cannot be unlocked or used.
Warzone Season 6has arrived and it’s brought a variety of fresh content for players to enjoy and get stuck into.
Whether it’s the two new lethal weapons, the reworked Gulag, or even theupcoming Haunting of Verdansk event, Raven Software certainly hasn’t held back with the latest update.
However, two new unexpected additions were included in the Season 6 patch and it’s caught players completely off-guard.
Seemingly out of the blue, two Vanguard weapons have appeared in the Gunsmith menus, but they’re unavailable to unlock or customize.
Vanguard’s STG 44 & M1 Garand added to Warzone
Although we still don’t have a confirmed release date for Warzone’s integration with Vanguard, Raven Software hasn’t hesitated to add two iconic WWII weapons to the game.
Both the M1 Garand and STG 44 have appeared in Gunsmith with a description and the ‘Vanguard’ tag.
Despite this, the guns are locked and there are no details on what challenge or level will be required to use them, this will likely come at a later date when they’re fully released into the BR.
Either way, the appearance of these new guns has got the whole community excited and it’s a reminder that the Vanguard Warzone update is on the horizon.

It’s hard to know why Raven decided to add these two specific weapons early unless they have plans to release them ahead of the Vanguard patch.
