Call of Duty: Vanguard has been available for a few days now, and while there have been some hiccups, the game seems to have been mostly well-received. Call of Duty: Vanguard reviews are mostly positive and the reaction online seems to suggest fans are generally happy with this year's take on the classic CoD multipalyer formula. However, Call of Duty: Vanguard is certainly not without its flaws, and there's one issue in particular that has been frustrating players.
Call of Duty: Vanguard players are currently struggling with a challenge for the Automaton assault rifle, which players have to complete to unlock the Mind Games camo for the gun. To do this, Call of Duty: Vanguard players need to have specific items attached to the Automaton and get 10 kills with those attachments equipped, including the Assassin proficiency attachment. However, it seems that the Assassin proficiency attachment for the Automaton doesn't actually exist in the game at the time of this writing due to a bug.
What this means is that Call of Duty: Vanguard players can't complete the challenge to unlock the Mind Games camo for the Automaton assault rifle, and that makes it impossible for them to unlock the Gold camo. And being unable to unlock the Gold camo for the Call of Duty: Vanguard automaton makes it impossible for players to get the Diamond camo for assault rifles. Unlocking Diamond camo for weapons is one of the most popular challenges in any given Call of Duty game, so it not working properly in Vanguard is definitely frustrating for players.
Hopefully a fix for this issue comes sooner rather than later, though the developers have not commented on it at the time of this writing. Previous Call of Duty games have enjoyed weekly updates and it's possible that the updates for Call of Duty: Vanguard will have a similar release schedule, though nothing has been confirmed at the time of this writing.
The only day that Call of Duty fans know for sure will include a Vanguard update in the near future is November 17. It's been confirmed that Call of Duty: Vanguard will add the Shipment multiplayer map on November 17, though it's possible that's all it will entail. The November 17 update could very well include bug fixes, maybe even a fix for this particular issue, but details have not been shared just yet. For now, Call of Duty fans can work on unlocking the other camos for the Automaton and the other assault rifles in the game.
Call of Duty: Vanguard is out now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
