How to play Vanguard Arms Race for free
As of Wednesday, March 30, Arms Race will be free to play for anyone who is looking to test out the new Vanguard mode. It will be available for an extended time of two weeks as the free period ends on Wednesday, April 13.
Getting your hands on Arms Race is as simple as finding and installing the free access mode.
Here’s what you need to do to play Arms Race for free:
- You need to go on your respective platforms store – PlayStation, Xbox, or Battle.net
- Search for “Vanguard”
- A free trial option for Call of Duty: Vanguard Arms Race should be available to download
- Download it, and then boot it up to play
The free Arms Race access period will be available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC as a part of the Vanguard Season 2 Reloaded content.
The new mode has been met with a mixed reaction as some players are enjoying the style of objective gameplay and how different it feels compared to Vanguard multiplayer. While others believe the map is too large for 24 player lobbies, which is limiting the chance for nonstop action.
Nonetheless, with the free trial period right around the corner you should give it a shot and see what the hype is about.
