The Call of Duty: Vanguard the popular Gunsmith feature is already known to be coming. However, the scope of the function was not clear until now. A new leak shows that the gunsmith in CoD Vanguard may be enormous.
What is the Gunsmith? The Gunsmith, or in English Gunsmith, is a feature that allows you to modify your weapons with attachments in multiplayer mode. You can add a new barrel or a larger magazine to the weapon and thus change its stats.
Many players love the feature in past CoD games and spend a lot of time creating particularly crazy and effective loadouts. Especially the version of Gunsmith in the mobile version of CoD is particularly strong.
Of course, there will be a Gunsmith in the upcoming CoD Vanguard as well, but details have been scarce until now. However, a leak now brings new information that is promising.
Up to 71 attachments per weapon and double the slots compared to Warzone?
What can the new Gunsmith do? According to the leak from the well-known CoD data miner TheMW2Ghost (via Twitter), there will be plenty of slots for attachments. For example, the STG44 assault rifle has at least 10 slots visible. In comparison, in Warzone you can equip only 5 slots.
Also interesting: The image from the leak clearly shows that there are likely 71 levels that you can progress through with the STG. This means that there will likely be a total of 71 upgrades for the weapon if the leak is accurate.
The weapons in Vanguard will therefore likely offer a lot of room for tinkerers and experimental players.
What weapon attachments will there be? A leak also surfaced regarding weapon attachments. All 71 attachments were shown via Twitter and appear to be present in the data according to the leak. However, perks are also included among the attachments. Additionally, it is unclear whether these attachments are all unique to the STG44 or if the category of assault rifles shares most of them.
Where does the leak come from? As mentioned earlier, the leak comes from the well-known data miner and leaker TheMW2Ghost. The data apparently comes from the latest alpha of Vanguard. Therefore, it is possible that some aspects will change before the release on November 5, 2021, and there may end up being fewer attachments or slots. So take this statement with a grain of skepticism.
What do you think of this revelation? Are you excited about the new, extensive gunsmith that the leak suggests? Or is it all too much for you and would you prefer more simplicity and fewer options? Let us know in the comments.
More information about CoD Vanguard can be found from colleague Maik Schneider, who has already had a look at the alpha.
