The crash occurs during matches and kicks players all the way back to their platform’s home screen. Players believe the crash occurs when calling in the Attack Dogs killstreak.
To the relief of Call of Duty players, Sledgehammer has stated that they are well aware of the issue and currently working on a fix. By pulling the update, the devs have made the game playable once more. Certainly, players will be eager to jump into the widely popular Ship Haus playlist.
Here’s what Sledgehammer had to say about the update.
After the playlist and Double XP weekend came to an end on November 21, Vanguard players were disappointed and demanded the playlist return.
Over the weekend most players enjoyed the benefits of Double Weapon XP. Moreover, seeing as it is incredibly difficult to level up weapons in Vanguard, players dedicated their weekend to the grind.
