The Vanguard bomb sites, spawns, callouts and wallbangs.

Vanguard overview

The Allies attack from their spawn, where the bomb starts; the Axis defend from theirs. Plant inside the red boxes.

Site	Size
A	4.9 × 6 m
B	11 × 12.7 m

Getting to the sites

Vanguard routes

The shortest way from where each side starts to each site, and between the sites, timed from the round going live to reaching the site's edge.

Route	Distance	Sprinting	Running
Attackers to A	129 m	18.1 s	25.8–26.6 s
Attackers to B	100 m	14.1 s	20.1–20.8 s
Defenders to A	69 m	9.7 s	13.8–14.3 s
Defenders to B	64 m	9 s	12.9–13.3 s
A to B	70 m	9.8 s	14–14.4 s

Sprinting, the defenders reach A 8.4 s and B 5.1 s before the attackers can. Running is with the fastest primaries (the submachine guns and the Trench Gun) to the slowest (the bolt-action rifles); you sprint at the same speed with any weapon. A drop, a jump or a ladder can be quicker than these.

Wallbangs

Vanguard wallbangs

86 surfaces on Vanguard can be shot through: 7 thin, 75 normal and 4 thick. A bullet keeps part of its damage going through one of them (see Wallbangs and collaterals), and none at all through a second. The plan shows them from above, apart from the thinnest poles and posts and the scenery outside the playable area.

Surface	Kind	How many
Window planks	normal	25
Planks	normal	8
Telegraph pole	normal	7
Beam	normal	6
Rotten plank	normal	6
Sofa	normal	6
Barn door	normal	5
Lamp post	thin	3
Barrel big	normal	2
Rustic wooden shelf	normal	2
Door	normal	2
Crate	thick	2
