The fight to defeat Steiner has a few different phases and does not allow COD players to use any guns: only a knife. Players have to use the environment and pay attention to Steiner’s movements in order to finally defeat him. The fight is based heavily on sneaking, as well as using the objects to attract Steiner. Steiner himself has a gun, and he isn’t afraid to shoot. For that reason, players should position themselves in spots where they can easily flee.

How to Beat Steiner
At the start of the fight, Steiner will be easy to locate. Without a gun, unlike Call of Duty multiplayer encounters, players will have to get close to him and perform a takedown. This is where sneaking comes in. After the first takedown, Steiner will become harder to find. In total, players will need to stab him three times before he is finally defeated.
Once Steiner is wounded and disappears, players should lure him back into combat. To do this, the music needs to be turned off. In the room where the fight is occurring, there is music playing on a gramophone. Once the gramophone is located and stopped, Steiner will rush over, and players will have another opportunity to attack him. After the second takedown, he may pursue players. It is important to sneak away until he can be wounded a third time.
After players complete the third takedown, Steiner will flee. He can be found by following his trail of blood up to a broken room where he is near death. Then, finally, players are able to kill him once and for all. This conclusively ends the Call of Duty: Vanguard campaign. Steiner has a few final words, saying that his death will end nothing, but that doesn’t save him. The whole encounter should take about five minutes.
Call of Duty: Vanguard is available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
