The latest Call of Duty Vanguard patch aims to fix spawns on Paradise, bring changes to Fortified Perks, and more

Sledgehammer Games has deployed a new patch for Call of Duty Vanguard that attempts to fix spawns on Paradise, the Fortified perk, and other ongoing issues.

Developed by Sledgehammer Games, Call of Duty Vanguard is the latest iteration of the annualized first-person military shooter franchise that takes the series back to its Second World War-era settings.

Developed on the same engine as Modern Warfare, the game features an expanded era-specific arsenal with in-depth customization of gunsmiths and over 16 multiplayer maps at launch.

The launch of Season Two was delayed to address the ongoing issues. In this article, fans will get a brief look at what the new patch aims to fix.
