If you don’t have a Gold membership, you can still join the open beta event from Saturday, September 18 to Monday, September 20. Players will be able to join with their friends and experience the game before it finally launches later this year.

The Call of Duty: Vanguard open beta will give players a taste of Champion Hill tournament mode, the new Patrol core multiplayer mode as well as a series of classic core modes on the maps Hotel Royal, Red Star, Gavutu, and Eagle’s Nest.

This means players will be able to check the game out and even explore some of the maps. Furthermore, players who will take part in the Multiplayer Beta (Early Access or the Open Beta) and reach a level of 20 will be rewarded with Weapon Blueprint.

This can be used in Call of Duty: Vanguard after the game arrives on November 5. According to the developers, the Weapon Blueprint will also be made available in Call of Duty: Warzone when the new map makes its way sometime this year.

It is good that a subscription is not mandatory to play the open beta of the game and everyone who pre-orders the game can play and enjoy Call of Duty: Vanguard.
