- Free-for-All
- Team Deathmatch
- Search & Destroy
- Domination
- Kill Confirmed
- Hardpoint
- Patrol
- Control (New)
As part of the Season 1 update, Control has been added to Vanguard. Teams must attack and defend two objectives with a total of 30 lives to work with. The team that runs out of lives or manages to capture the objectives wins the round.
