Call of Duty: Vanguard Gets Multiple Fixes With April 18 Update – Patch Notes

Call of Duty: Vanguard has received its second major update of the month and the latest patch notes contain a few fixes for glitches that have been exploited over the last few weeks. The biggest glitch was with the Glide Bomb killstreak. The killstreak could be used to tag enemy players to see them through walls, even after it had been deployed. Other glitches that have been fixed aren’t quite as serious as being able to see enemy players through walls but they’re still appreciated. Check out the full list of updates and changes in the patch notes below.
