In the eyes of some Warzone players, Vanguard is just a simple DLC that unlocks weapons faster, giving players who have pulled out the wallet an edge.
Vanguard and Warzone were linked in the December 8 update. This major update gave players access to more than 40 weapons, a World War II-themed map, and multiple vehicles, among other things.
While Warzone is available for free, without needing to own Vanguard, there are still some advantages to buying Vanguard. For example, most Warzone players see Vanguard as an easy way to upgrade weapons and avoid drudgery.

Warzone Players Say Vanguard Is Only For Upgrading Weapons
Time and time again Vanguard and Warzone players have complained about the way the games work with each other.
A post on Reddit reignited the debate, as one gamer claimed that Vanguard is just a “$60 DLC” for Warzone players.
This post follows numerous complaints about weapon upgrades in the battle royale. By playing for less time, players who own Vanguard can get between 20 and 30 more levels than in Warzone.
Players also find it difficult to level up the Battle Pass and earn some free weapons while only playing Warzone.
Most players consider there are too many differences between Warzone and Vanguard when it comes to unlocking items. “The problem is that some of the challenges are almost impossible on Warzone. For example, you could NEVER have unlocked the Bruen just through Warzone.”
If players have Vanguard, it is much faster for them to unlock all weapons and upgrade them, which is not to the liking of other players who feel they should be put on equal footing .
