Call of Duty: Vanguard - The best perks in the game

In this tips guide to Call of Duty: Vanguard you will learn:

  • Which perk is the strongest
  • Which extras are best combined
  • Loadout recommendations for your play style

Extras, also known as perks, have become an indispensable part of Call of Duty games. These useful pieces of equipment also play an important role in the newest part of the series. In addition to well-known perks, brand new ones have also made it into the game. Which perk is the best in Call of Duty: Vanguard and which other perks are worthwhile is explained in this guide.

This is the best perk in CoD: Vanguard

The best perk in the entire game is without question "Forward Data". The description states that this perk increases the minimap and displays enemy reinforcements. By enemy reinforcements, in this case, it means enemy spawns that appear as red diam onds on your map.

The red diamonds on the minimap, indicate the spawn points of the enemies.

Permanently knowing where the enemy spawns are located is like a real cheat. Map control is one of the most important factors and determines the outcome of a match. With the help of this perk you'll be able to form more effective fire lines and get to safety faster in case of a spawn swap. Moreover, the perk works in any game mode - including Deathmatch.

In Deathmatch, everyone fights everyone else. Once an opponent has been eliminated, he spawns on a random point on the map. The "Forward Data" extra allows you to defend these points efficiently and spot in time when an enemy spawns in your back. Once you've found a good position to camp, it's easier to react to approaching enemies and hold off with the aiming device.

The best extra combo for offensive builds

  • Perk1: Spirit
  • Perk2: Alert
  • Perk3: Lightweight

This perk combo is suitable for aggressive and fast play and high killstreaks. We recommend using a submachine gun like the MP40 to win duels quickly. With the help of the "Ghost" perk and a silencer on your weapon, you should almost never appear on the enemy map. "Alert" gives you the security of being able to react quickly to ambushes. The extra "Lightweight" allows you to make quick position changes and flank the enemy more effectively.

Our suggestion for an offensive loadout.

The best extra combo for defensive builds

  • Perk1: Reinforces
  • Perk2: Forward data
  • Perk3: Scavenger

If you're playing defensively and not directly on the front lines, you'll be plagued by grenades and other explosions at regular intervals. The "Reinforced" extra will counteract your premature death and ensure that you can move away from the critical point of detonation in time. "Forward Data" gives you a better view of what's happening and ensures that you won't be surprised by a spawn shift.

With the "Scavenger" perk, you should never run out of ammo. Additionally, you can forgo the "Supply Crate" field upgrade, which also replenishes your ammo, and take "Dead Letter Box" instead. This allows you to save your current kill series points before you die, so you can get to the strongest kill series in the game faster.
