[Updated] COD Vanguard players say challenges to get Nikita AVT & M1916 are too tough or hard, issue under investigation

New updates are being added at the bottom of this story…….

Original story (published on May 02, 2022) follows:

Call of Duty Vanguard is the latest installment in the long-running franchise. Developed by Sledgehammer Games and published by Activision, the game was released in November last year.

But in the last few days, users have complained about various issues such as Zombie Survivalist camo progression not tracking and unable to rename Custom Classes equipped with Atomic camo.

While the new Nikita AVT is an assault rifle effective at short to mid-range and has the highest rate of fire, the M1916 is a semi-automatic marksman rifle with huge stopping power.

That said, Call of Duty Vanguard players are now saying that the challenges to unlock the newly added Nikita AVT and M1916 guns are too tough or hard (1,2,3,4,5).

Many say it is really hard to get 100 Bloodthirsty’s, preventing them from getting the weapons. Here are some reports from Call of Duty Vanguard players complaining about the Nikita AVT and M1916 challenges being too hard.

The new ar’s challenges? I’m not saying the challenges are terrible but i don’t think i’m supposed to be doing as much as i have too. Has anyone seen or heard anything on if they are going to change the challenges?
