The third Call of Duty: Vanguard update in three days is now live on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series S, and Xbox Series X. The update doesn't feature any new content, but it does make 14 changes to the game -- to both the game's multiplayer and its Zombies mode -- though none of it is very substantial, with almost half of the changes involving weapon tuning and weapon progression.

At the moment of publishing, there's no word if the update requires a download from players. If it does, the file size should be on the smaller side considering the size of the patch notes.

Speaking of the patch notes, below, you can check out the update's complete and official patch notes, courtesy of Sledgehammer Games:

MULTIPLAYER

-Weapon Tuning-

Reduced the effects of ADS Spread (aka Bloom) on base weapons (without attachments). Dev note: "Attachments improving Accuracy will reduce ADS Spread. Attachments with Accuracy penalties will increase the effects of ADS Spread."

-Weapon Challenges-

Fixed an issue where the MK11 launcher's Long Shot Challenges were not tracking.
Corrected a mislabeled Proficiency required for the Mind Games Challenge for the Automaton.

Fixed the Search and Destroy bomb glitch where players could see when an enemy was defusing the bomb.

-Perks-

Fixed the Gung Ho sprint speed shooting glitch – Slow down, friends.

-Field Upgrade-
