Broken Warzone attachments are actually nerfing Vanguard guns

Warzone players could be using broken attachments on their Vanguard weapons without even knowing that the weapons have been nerfed.

Call of Duty stats expert TrueGameData is the master of analyzing weapons and how they operate in Warzone. To the frustration of Warzone players, the content creator recently discovered that several attachments have not been working as described in-game.

The broken attachments are preventing Vanguard weapons from operating at maximum efficiency. Here are the attachments you’ll want to avoid on your Vanguard weapons along with the corresponding issue.

Warzone attachments provide incredibly valuable benefits to weapons and the fact that some are not performing as intended can be detrimental to the weapon’s viability.

The best attachments provide a variety of benefits from increased movement speed to improved recoil control and if you’ve been using some of the broken attachments detailed in the TrueGameData video below, you’re going to want to remove them immediately.

For starters, both the Flash Hider Muzzle and Unmarked Perk are supposed to offer position concealment but at the moment neither of them do. This means your position on the mini-map will be revealed when using these attachments.

More importantly, the broken attachments seem to be nerfing Snipers as the Shrouded Perk does not conceal scope glint as advertised in the description of the attachment for the Vanguard Kar98k. In addition, attachments like the VDD Thumbhole Stock and Focus Perk that should improve flinch resistance on Vanguard Snipers, do not work.

These attachments were tested in live matches by TrueGameData and the reliable stats expert suggests to not waste a slot on these broken attachments, “Shrouded did literally nothing for the Kar98, so do not waste your Perk point on that”.

These broken attachments make the already subpar Vanguard Snipers even worse which is unfortunate for Vanguard Royale players. The CoD expert also claimed that he’d be tackling recoil perks next which could have a major impact on long-range weapons. We’ll be sure to detail any notable discoveries.
