Every game mode in CoD Vanguard
Many staple CoD modes have returned in Vanguard, along with a few new additions.Team Deathmatch
Team Deathmatch has been a staple since the early days of CoD so it’s no surprise to see it return in Vanguard. Kills are all that matter in this mode as the first team to reach the required number wins the map.
Domination
Three flags are scattered across the map and it’s your job to maintain control of them in Domination. The more flags you have under control at any given time, the faster your team’s score will grow.
Free For All
It’s everyone for themselves in Free For All. There are no teams, each player loads in separately, and kills are your only way to victory.
Kill Confirmed
Dog tags are all-important in Kill Confirmed. After wiping out your target, be sure to run over their body and pick up their dog tags, otherwise your kill won’t count for a point.
Remember you can also negate enemy scores by recovering tags from your fallen allies as well.
Search & Destroy
Vanguard launches with seven core multiplayer modes.S&D is back for another year as expected. Two bomb sites are positioned throughout the map as teams take turns attacking and defending. Detonating a bomb or clearing out all enemies is how you’ll win a round.

Patrol
Patrol is a new mode in Vanguard that features a single moving objective. Teams battle for control over a small zone that’s constantly floating around the map.
Champions Hill
