Vanguard April 18 patch notes: Glide Bomb wallhack fix, Search & Destroy bomb timer, more
Vanguard devs Sledgehammer Games have fixed several issues in the April 18 update, including Glide Bombs giving players wallhacks and adding a Search and Destroy bomb timer. Here are Vanguard’s full April 18 patch notes.
There are only a few days left until Call of Duty: Vanguard Season 3, which will take Ranked Play out of its beta, bringing a rank reset and more rewards, as well as some brand-new weapons.
But Sledgehammer aren’t leaving the game to gather dust in its final few days, as they’ve released an update on April 18 to tackle some of the game’s major bugs and glitches. Here are the full April 18 patch notes.
Vanguard Glide Bomb wallhack glitch fixed
Through a bizarre glitch, Vanguard’s Glide Bomb killstreak could grant players wallhacks, but this was finally addressed in the April 18 update.
The Glide Bomb highlights all enemies below to make it easier to use, but these indicators would remain once the Glide Bomb was used, essentially giving the player wallhacks. The patch notes revealed that a teammate using the Ball Turret Gunner at the same time would cause the issue, but it should now be fixed.
