This patch is led by a nerf the blast protection perk,Fortified. This has already seen a handful of changes throughout Vanguard’s history and now it will no longer protect players if they are stuck by a Sticky Bomb.
This wasn’t the only change as the weapon attachment Gung-Ho was made a little stronger. The update now makes it takeless time for the gun to be pulled out after sprinting. That could make running and gunning could be even stronger than ever. There were also some bug fixes to the new mapCasablanca, which you’re able to check out below.
