One of the perks of preordering Call of Duty: Vanguard is getting access to Arthur Kinglsey from the WWII game as a playable soldier in Call of Duty: Warzone and Black Ops Cold War. Access to Kingsley is rolling out now, Activision has announced.
Everyone who digitally preorders Vanguard or already has gets access to Kingsley, beginning today, September 27. Kingsley is one of two bonuses that you get right away for preordering Vanguard, the other being the “Night Raid” Mastercraft submachine gun.
Additionally, people who preorder a digital copy of Vanguard get to pre-load the game early and will receive the Frontline weapons pack, which includes two SMG blueprints for Vanguard.
