We have been really happy with the reception to Vanguard Royale, and as we have listened, watched, and enjoyed all the conversations about the two Battle Royale modes, it’s now time to take the best bits from each and create the definitive Battle Royale experience, starting at launch and with further updates happening during the in-season and the seasons ahead.LaunchGameplayDefault core health is now at 150 (up from 100).LootDead Silence will remain as Legendary ground loot.Season AheadContractsAll Vanguard Royale Contracts will be integrated;“Big Game Bounty”“Top Secret”“Supply Drop”Public EventsAll Vanguard Royale Public Events will be integrated into the event pool;Cash DropsHeavy Weapon DropsResurgenceRestockAs always we will continue to monitor and listen to feedback, as well as communicate any experiments that we plan to carry out during the in-season to further refine Battle Royale.Rebirth Island AdjustmentsOverall UpdatesWe’ve increased the amount of loot in less visited areas to encourage players to explore the island.We’ve added plenty of cover in hotspots where players usually get killed to give them a chance to fight back.New FeaturesEnviornmental improvementsA new skybox – We’re still delivering the bright and sunny afternoon sky that is beloved by the community, but with a few twists : Drastic sun orientation update to change the shapes of the shadows throughout the map, and also added stormy/dramatic clouds on the horizon.New lighting & atmosphere – We’ve doubled down on the bright and vibrant color treatment globally, and also updated the atmospheric fog to match the new skybox.New signage & murals.Redeploy Balloons have arrived on Rebirth but with a few twists; destroyed by default, less health, and between 0-4 balloons active at the same time.Gulag Revamp: The mid-section of the Gulag has been modified to create more exciting engagements for Iron Trials.Security Area becomes StrongholdThe Security Area is now known as Stronghold following Perseus’s reinforcement project.

Effective at short to medium range engagements.Weapon Adjustments» Assault Rifles «Vargo 52 (BOCW)Maximum Damage decreased from 28 to 27Minimum Damage decreased from 24 to 23Neck Damage Multiplier increased from 1.2 to 1.3The Vargo 52 (BOCW) is a powerful new addition to the AR category and was outperforming where we wanted it to be. We expect that the weapon will still excel within its damage range and will be keeping a close eye on it for the future.The Volkssturmgewehr (VG) tended to drift to the right while firing, which could distract or obstruct sight when it mattered most. This change mutes that Weapon movement considerably.» Marksman Rifles «G-43 (VG)Bullet Velocity increased by 13.8%M1 Garand (VG)Bullet Velocity increased by 14.3%ADS Movement Speed increased from .86 to 1ADS Interrupt Time increased from 300ms to 250msADS Interrupt Time is the point in the Aim Down Sight animation where it can be interrupted by other actions. This change will make its Handling feel lighter and more responsive.SVT-40 (VG)Bullet Velocity increased by 16%Vanguard Marksman Rifles were behind when looking at velocity. These adjustments are intended to make them far more reliable at their optimal ranges.» Melee «Most Melee Weapons now execute a Melee Finisher on a second consecutive strike.This change is significant as Melee Weapons deal 135 damage, which if left unchanged, would consistently require 3 hits to kill with the increase to base health.» Shotgun «Vanguard Shotgun Damage increased by 10%.Einhorn Revolving (VG)Magazine Capacity increased from 5 to 6» Sniper Rifle «3-Line Rifle (VG)[Controller Only] Aim Assist enabled when not in ADSType 99 (VG)[Controller Only] Aim Assist enabled when not in ADS» Submachine Guns «Sten (VG)7.62 Gorenko Capacity increased from 32 to 36.45 ACP Round Fast Mags Capacity increased from 28 to 329mm Mags Capacity increased from 20 to 28On paper, the Sten (VG) has an incredibly compelling stat-line. In reality, it suffered far too much from its limited magazine capacities-which prevented it from piercing the upper echelon of Submachine Guns. A moderate mag size increase will make the Sten (VG) a more competitive option for those who prefer highly-mobile playstyles.Welgun (VG)Fire Rate decreased by 2.2%Recoil increased slightlyATTACHMENTS:» Ammunition «Hollow PointDamage Range now decreased by 20%Hollow Point has been heavily leaned on by Submachine Guns and with good reason. Its previous damage range penalty would rarely affect the most common engagement distances. This adjustment to the ammunition results in a powerful tool, you’ll just have to get a little closer.Our ongoing goal with ammunition is to provide options and move away from a singular choice that’s “good for any occasion”.» Barrel «3-Line Rifle (VG)500mm MN CustomFlinch Resistance now properly reduces camera pitch when hitKar98k (VG)VDD 660mm 05HEFlinch Resistance now properly reduces camera pitch when hitType 100 (VG)Type 99 (VG)Shiraishi 712mm SniperFlinch Resistance now properly reduces camera pitch when hitWelgun (VG)320mm SA ShroudedRecoil Control decreased from 36% to 15%» Magazine «Einhorn Revolving (VG)16 Gauge 12 Round CylinderMagazine Capacity increased from 7 to 12Reload Speed increased slightlyBirdshot 6 Round CylinderReload Speed increased slightlyWelgun (VG).45 48 Round Mags7.62 Gorenko 40 Round MagsFire Rate increased from 11% to 12%Maximum Damage decreased from 30 to 29Mid Damage decreased from 26 to 25Min Damage decreased from 21 to 20Recoil Control decreased from 22% to 16%The Gorenko 40 Round Mags was simply providing far too much value and was overdue for an adjustment. This still leaves the Welgun in a very strong position despite the change to this particular Magazine.» Perk «» Rear Grip «Sniper RiflesAirborne Elastic Wrap (BOCW)Flinch Resistance now properly reduces camera pitch when hitDropshot Wrap (BOCW)Flinch Resistance now properly reduces camera pitch when hitField Tape (BOCW)Flinch Resistance now properly reduces camera pitch when hitSASR Jungle Grip (BOCW)Flinch Resistance now properly reduces camera pitch when hitPolymer Grip (VG)Flinch Resistance now properly reduces camera pitch when hit
