How To Get Multiplayer Loadouts In Call of Duty: Vanguard Gunsmiths rejoice: the gunsmith system is back in Call of Duty: Vanguard, allowing you to add up to ten different add-ons to each and every gun. You can make your favourite WW2 weapons in franken-guns with completely anachronistic red dot sights and other bits of gear, disregarding any sense of realism or historical accuracy. Customizing your weapons is just part of the multiplayer fun, and if you’re just getting started and looking for weird, fun builds to try yourself, we’ve gathered some of our tried and true community favourites.
Call of Duty: Vanguard is based on the Modern Warfare engine, but it is far from slow-paced. Blitz mode is a jumble of K/Ds, with players spawning on top of each other in seconds. This is one of the most chaotic CODs in recent memory, throwing you into an insane meat grinder where the goal is to get the most kills in the shortest amount of time. And these weapons are made to spit out as much lead as possible while providing a smooth experience. Is this the new ability that allows you to shoot guns while sprinting? That is a game changer.

STG44
The all-purpose Assault Rifle is an excellent starting weapon for any player. Vanguard is a blazingly fast game that allows you to focus on medium-range combat. Making the STG into the Bonerattler Variant is a good place to start. You can use this variant to launch a barrage of bullets at your opponents.
- Add Krausnick 220MM Rapid (Barrel) + 8MM Kurz 45 Round Drums
- Add Mark VI Skeletal (Underbarrel) + Recoil Booster (Muzzle)
- Remove Stock
- Add Nerves of Steel + Fully Loaded Proficiency
Sten
The Sten is your all-purpose basic power weapon for launching a barrage of bullets. It’s up to you how you customise it, including whether you prefer hip fire or ADS accuracy, and whether you prefer giant drum magazines or smaller mags that reload faster. In any case, the Sten is a useful all-around weapon for beginners looking to improve their mobility.
- SA 65MM Rapid (Barrel)
- 9MM 50 Round Drums
- Sleight of Hand + Fully Loaded
Garand M1
You can transform the M1 into a hilarious knifing machine instead of using it for sniper kills. Remove the Sniper Scope and replace it with anything that increases movement speed. Put on a Bayonet and have some fun, dropping Smoke Grenades to block sightlines and slashing the opposition from ridiculous melee ranges.
- Remove Sniper Scope
- Add Bayonet (Underbarrel)
- Add Reach + Spotter Proficiency
- Smoke Grenade Non-Lethal
MG42
The MG42 is a spray-and-pray gun that transforms into a maniacal multi-kill machine. Accuracy and a sole focus on damage (plus an increased fire rate) are required to unleash a hose of destruction. When incendiary is added, players will be unable to react to all of the fire in their faces.
- Mark VI Skeletal (Underbarrel) + Leather Grip
- VDD 680MM 31MM (Barrel) + VDD Skeleton (Stock)
- 6.5 Sakura 125 Round Drum + Incendiary Ammo
- Steady + Fully Loaded Proficiency
Thompson
With the Thompson, you should prioritise mobility, ADS speed, accuracy, and damage. With improved accuracy, you can take out enemies even when hip-firing and truly unload.
- Add No. 3 Rifle Brake + Medium Ironsights
- Add CGC S Adjustable Stock
- Add Frangible Ammo + Taped Grip
- Steady + Quick Proficiency
Revolving Shotgun Einhorn
You can actually fire this powerful sawed-off shotgun while sprinting if you have the Gung-Ho Proficiency. We’ll use killer damage and dexterity. This gun is still hilariously accurate, and it can snipe people from all over the map.
- Add Sawed Off (Barrel) + Removed Stock
- Add Slug Ammo
- Stippled Grip + Carver Foregrip
- Gung-Ho + Quick Proficiency
