Call of Duty: Vanguard is the latest entry in Activision’s long-running first-person shooter franchise and the third in the series with Sledgehammer Games serving as lead developer. The game once again takes the series back to World War 2, putting players in the boots of an elite Allied squad sent into Germany to stop a secret plan to ensure the Third Reich survives the war’s end. Warzone saw the introduction of Caldera, an island in the Pacific serving as the third map, alongside Rebirth Island and Verdansk, in the popular battle royale mode.

Sledgehammer outlined the new content coming to Vanguard and Warzone in season 3 with the new roadmap, offering first looks at the new weapons, maps, operators, and updates coming to the game. Included in this roadmap are the three new tracer packs for Warzone, each one themed after the monsters audiences saw do battle in 2021’s Godzilla vs. Kong. The tracer packs include appropriately-themed skins, effectively turning players into smaller iterations of Kong, Godzilla, or even Mecha-Godzilla.
The skins will go well with all the other changes coming to Caldera during the aforementioned Operation Monarch event when the monsters invade Warzone. A new point of interest, The Dig, will be added to the map and will see players fighting among the bones of other massive monsters from the Hollow Earth, including a serpentine creature resembling the Skullcrawlers and even another Kong. A new Monarch-themed Gulag, The Hold, will also open up for 1v1 duels as players try to fight their way back into a match.
Operation Monarch’s tracer packs also continue the trend seen since Vanguard launched of unique and surprising tie-in skins being made available for players. 2022 has already seen Sledgehammer release skins based on the popular manga and anime series Attack on Titan, along with a pack paying homage to hip-hop icon Snoop Dogg. With these Kong vs. Godzilla skins being the latest, it begs the question of what possible tie-in will players see next for Call of Duty.
Call of Duty: Vanguard is currently available on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
