Assault Rifle Foxtrot Vanguard - Despite having their own fictional or historically accurate in-game names, each weapon in Call of Duty Vanguard and Warzone also comes with its own codename. Raven Software often uses these Vanguard weapon code names in patch notes for major updates or when talking about individual weapon designs.

While some weapons will appear in patch notes or blog posts under their in-game name, others will appear as 'Assault Rifle Able', 'Light Machine Gun Baker' or 'Shotgun Charlie'. But what does that really mean and which Vanguard gun does it mean?

We are not sure of the exact reason why some weapons are displayed this way. One theory is that it helps identify duplicate weapons – for example, there are MP5s in Warzone for Modern Warfare and Black Ops Cold War. However, there is some inconsistency with this and other non-copy weapons are often called by their code names.

To add to the confusion, Vanguard's codenames do not follow the modern phonetic alphabet like modern Cold War warfare and weapons. Vanguard instead uses a version of the phonetic alphabet used during World War II to preserve some historical accuracy. Instead of Alpha you have Geta; Instead of Bravo, you have Baker; and so on.

Since this can get pretty confusing, we've put together a list of Vanguard weapon codenames to help you decipher these patch notes and blueprints.

The WWII name found is its first name in the Vanguard menus, while its modern Warzone name is in parentheses. Also note that the codenames for melee weapons are a bit confused in each game.

So there you have it - every codename for Vanguard's arsenal. Hopefully this will come in handy the next time the "Submachine Gun Delta" comes at you in the next round of Warzone patch notes.
