Where are we dropping?
For the sake of clarity and getting everyone on the same page, we made this app to keep things simple.
Game Mode - Plunder
Regular Plunder also returns with Vanguard Season 1, but specifically on the new Caldera map.
Warzone fans love this mode for leveling up weapons and warming up for Battle Royale, and weren't very happy when it was removed from playlists in Season 6.
But Plunder will still be there after the integration, including Warzone's huge arsenal of weapons and vehicles.
Drop Zone - Runway
While not as massive as the Airfield, the Runway does have a fair amount of planes during a Vanguard Royale, and otherwise acts as a less aggressive drop point for squads who want to play at a slower pace.
Outside of grabbing a plane if one is available, the main Runway hangar can contain a Supply Box (or two) along with some Loadout items to get the match started.
From here, take a quick trek up to a Coastal Jungle Village for more items, or sneak up on the command center more inland by either going uphill or taking an exterior ascender up a cliff. Either way, these are viable stepping-stones to rotating around to the Beachhead or Docks areas of Caldera, which may draw more attention off the drop from squads looking to take over the island's northern section.
Toward the end of a match, should the circle collapse make the Runway a safe area, it may be worth traveling back past the Runway and over to a sea cliff that juts out of the island's east beaches. From here, a long-ranged optic can make it easy to pick off inland squads or it can be a powerful spot against those rotating over from the Beachhead.
