Vanguard Best Bren Loadouts: Perks And Equipment
The Bren’s immense firepower and seemingly endless magazine make it a mammoth of a weapon. However, enemy players will focus on you when they hear and witness the endless gunfire coming from your direction. For that reason, it’s best to design your Vanguard Bren loadout with Call of Duty Vanguard perks and equipment that will make you tankier. For example, Fortified and the Armor Plates Field Upgrade will allow you to eat some extra bullets and grenades before going down.
As for Perk 2 and 3, Forward Intel will inform you of which directions enemies are coming from while you hold down an objective and Double Time will let you move around the Vanguard maps at a faster pace.
Finally, the Bren is bulkier than its assault rifle and SMG counterparts, so it's important to use secondaries and grenades that you can pull out and use quickly.
- Perk 1: Fortified
- Perk 2: Forward Intel
- Perk 3: Double Time
- Secondary: Machine Pistol
- Lethal: Gammon Bomb
- Tactical: No. 69 Stun Grenade
