GamingCall of DutyCoD Vanguard March 3 update: Fortified nerf, Gung-Ho buff, full patch notesbyJaret KappelmanPublished: Mar 03, 2022, 18:56Save for laterSave for laterActivision Get Notifications for CoD News

Sledgehammer Games released an update to Call of Duty Vanguard on March 3, which saw two popular perks receive some significant changes. The Fortified perk was hit with a nerf while Gung-Ho was buffed. Here are the full patch notes from the update.

The devs have been working hard to resolve their game’s biggest issues and the fifth patch of Season 2 is hitting key components.

With the recent addition of Sticky Bombs, the Fortified perk had served as a huge counter to lethal equipment but that will not be the case anymore as sticks will kill anyone.

This wasn’t the only change as the weapon attachment Gung-Ho was made a little stronger. The update now makes it take less time for the gun to be pulled out after sprinting. That could make running and gunning could be even stronger than ever. There were also some bug fixes to the new map Casablanca, which you can check out below.
