Call of Duty Vanguard Zombies: Can you use Launchers on Der Anfang?

Call of Duty Vanguard's current Zombies offering is a little lacklustre when you compare it to what we saw from Treyarch throughout Black Ops Cold War - even just Die Maschine offers a more interesting experience than Vanguard's strange amalgamation of round-based Zombies maps and Outbreak. Still, it's not the worst thing we've ever played and killing endless hordes of Zombies is always fun in some capacity.

If you're wondering why you haven't been able to take your M1 Bazooka into Der Anfang, though, we know why. Here's the latest on the changes coming to Vanguard's Zombies in the Season One update and whether you can use Launchers or not.

Can you use Launchers in Vanguard's Zombies?

If you're looking for something that packs a little bit more of a punch from the Mystery Box, you'll be pleased to know that Launchers are now going to be available in Vanguard Zombies following the Season One update.

Here's what Call of Duty has had to say about the addition...

" All four Launchers will also be available in Loadouts and the Mystery Box for Zombies at the start of Season One, adding another layer of strategy for surviving Kortifex’s legions. Be sure to equip Splatterfest at the Altar of Covenants and let the rockets fly."

This should open up a few more of the available Altar of the Covenants, as mentioned above, but doesn't really apply to the new Altars being added. they are as follows:

• Brimstone
  • Deal damage to nearby enemies (Rare/Epic/Legendary)
• Deadshot
  • ADS will snap to headshot location, bonus damage on the first crit for each enemy, remove weapon sway (Rare/Epic/Legendary)
• Dead Wire
  • Ammo Mod that stuns enemies (Rare/Epic)
  • Ammo Mod that stuns enemies and nearby enemies (Legendary)
• Scrapper
  • Gain more Salvage from pick-ups (Rare/Epic)
  • Gain more Salvage from pick-ups and Objective rewards (Legendary)
• Swift Vengeance
  • Deal more damage the faster you move, activates shortly after you start moving, fire while sprinting enabled (Rare/Epic)
  • Deal more damage the faster you move, activates as soon as start moving, fire while sprinting enabled (Legendary)
