Wade Jackson is one tough son of a bitch – he’s always the first into the fight and he’s always going to surprise you. As a core member of Captian Butcher’s Vanguard, he’s a face you’re going to see a lot over the next few months. Good thing he’s as handsome as he is a madman. Here’s everything you need to know about how you can unlock Wade in Call of Duty Vanguard.

Unlocking Operators isn’t just about getting a new face, though – you can also unlock new cosmetic items and bonus XP for their favourite weapon! Here’s what you need to know about Wade Jackson from Call of Duty Vanguard.

How to unlock Wade in Vanguard

In order to unlock Wade in Call of Duty Vanguard, you’re going to have to do one of two things. In Zombies, you can earn Wade by getting 250 Eliminations with Field Upgrades – this shouldn’t take you too long but Energy Mine is probably your best bet. In multiplayer, you can earn Wade by getting 100 Headshots. Again, this isn’t going to be tough but it might take a while.

“ Raised in Brooklyn, Wade was a bright kid but bored by schoolwork. As a teen, he grew interested in machines and eventually drag racing, which satisfied his ever-growing need for speed. His time spent behind the wheel paid off when he was accepted into the Navy’s aviation cadet program. He eventually earned his wings and found his purpose in a dive bomber cockpit.”

  • Favourite Weapon: Type 100
