With Season 1 of Warzone and Vanguard coming to a close, all eyes are on the launch of Season 2 for the battle royale and Sledgehammer Games' latest offering. So far, the return to World War II and the switch to Caldera haven't been smooth sailing with various bugs and glitches impacting players on both titles.
The slight delay to the upcoming season has enabled Raven Software and Sledgehammer Games additional time to address the bugs and glitches, much to the delight of players that have grown tired of problems ranging from broken aim assist to guns emitting a blinding light.
As with previous Warzone and Vanguard updates, players will want to download them as quickly as possible to drop into the action once again. Thankfully, there are some handy tips and tricks to speed up the process. Here's how to download the Warzone Pacific and Vanguard Season 2 update fast!
Warzone Pacific and Vanguard Season 2 Start Date
The second season of post-launch content for Warzone and Vanguard will begin on February 14. It was set to begin on February 2 but Activision informed players that it would be delayed to allow developers to optimise each title.
How to Download Warzone Pacific and Vanguard Season 2 Update Fast
There is a multitude of methods that can increase the speed of the download and having tried and tested many of them, we've found that these techniques work the best.
PlayStation
PS4 and PS5 players should be able to preload the update a few days prior to the launch of Season 2. To download the update as fast as possible, make sure that there are no applications running in the background in order to guarantee a fast download speed.
Another method to update Warzone and Vanguard quickly involves placing the console into Rest Mode. This will increase the speed of the update, allowing you to complete the download as quickly as possible. To guarantee a stable internet connection throughout the download, plug an ethernet cable into the back of the console to ensure nothing interrupts the update.

Xbox
The Season 2 updates should begin to download automatically but if they don't head into 'Games & Apps' and select 'Updates.' The Vanguard and Warzone updates should be listed there and can be started manually.
Just like PlayStation, the best way to ensure the update downloads as fast as possible is by using an ethernet cable. If you don't have one to hand, try moving the console closer to the router for a faster speed and less interference.
PC
Call of Duty updates on PC may take longer than their console counterparts thanks to the temporary copying room that's often required. Before you begin downloading the updates, make sure there's enough hard drive space, and be sure to run a speed test to check if your internet speed is up to the task.
Following these useful tips and tricks will guarantee the update will download as fast as possible.

While we wait, be sure to check out the leaked Operators expected to appear throughout the new season.
