　　Now Playing: Call of Duty: Vanguard Review

　　The patch also addresses an issue with the quickscope proficiency for sniper rifles that caused the game to disconnect when aiming down sights.

　　Killstreaks get attention in the update, too, with various bug fixes for Counter-Spy Plane, Mortar Strike, and Bombing Run. In addition, the Spy Plane now enters and exits the playing field "significantly" faster. The Attack Dogs killstreak, meanwhile, now has a new audio cue so players are better aware where the dogs are coming from.

　　Vanguard's Zombies mode gets attention in this update, with one change being that zombies that used to move too slow in "Terra Maledicta" now move at the right pace. Additionally, the Ray Gun Wonder Weapon sees its base damage increased substantially, from 300 to 400. The Decimator Shield, meanwhile, sees its base melee damage "dramatically increased" in a shift that Activision said was the result of community feedback. Additionally, regular melee attacks now kill standard zombies in one hit, but only until round 12.

　　You can see the full patch notes below, as shared on Sledgehammer's website.

　　In other Call of Duty news, Activision has confirmed that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and a new Warzone experience are coming later this year. Outside of that, Activision Blizzard and all of its studios are in the process of being acquired by Microsoft.
