Here are all of the game modes in Call of Duty: Vanguard

Some new, some old, all fun.

Call of Duty: Vanguard is taking the fight back in time to World War II, featuring all of the war’s locations, operators, weaponry, and more.

While the setting and more are different from previous CoD titles like Modern Warfare and Black Ops Cold War, CoD’s classic game modes are there, offering a familiar feel to anyone who jumps into some multiplayer games in Vanguard.

Vanguard will offer a variety of new and returning game modes. The classics like Domination and Search and Destroy are there, but so are new ones like Patrol, which forces teams to hold an objective that’s constantly moving around the map.

The flagship new mode in Vanguard is Champion Hill, which is a mix between battle royale and Team Deathmatch. It rewards teamwork, communication, and, of course, gun skill, all while being played across four different maps at once.

Here are all of the game modes confirmed to be in CoD: Vanguard.

Control (Season One)

Two teams alternate between attacking or defending two fixed capture zones on the map with limited respawns. Attackers either have to capture both zones or completely eliminate the Defenders before the time limit.

It’s expected that many more modes will be available in Vanguard and more will be added throughout the upcoming content seasons. This article will be updated when more information is available.
