Call of Duty Vanguard covenants list: How to unlock covenants in Vanguard Zombies explained

They live.

Call of Duty: Vanguard covenants are a vital part of Zombies.

If you're taking a break from the campaign and regular multiplayer matches, Zombies introduces a brand new mode for you to explore. In it, covenants will make themselves present as a station you're gonna want to pay attention to.

With multiple covenants to get to know, it's best to prepare yourself beforehand. This guide explains how to unlock covenants and the complete covenants list to best fight against the never-ending undead hordes.

Once you've learned the ins and outs, don't miss our best builds page for Vanguard Zombies. If you're interested in regular multiplayer as well, we have a complete list of Call of Duty: Vanguard maps and an explainer on how to unlock Call of Duty: Vanguard operators.

How to unlock covenants in Call of Duty: Vanguard Zombies

Covenants are a new addition in Call of Duty: Vanguard Zombies, serving as stations to pick up interesting bonuses and abilities to use in matches. In essence, these are integrated with the experience as a whole.

For example, aside from peculiar abilities such as the chance to turn enemies on your side, ammo mods are no longer present. Instead, covenants take the reign in that regard.

The gist for Zombies is the following: you undertake a series of objectives by teleporting to different areas, but once you're done, you're transported back to a hub area in Stalingrad. This is where, aside from upgrading our weapons or double checking other stations, you can access the Altar of Covenants.

It's far simple to use them: the Altar of Covenants is always the same, signalised on the hub area map. Once you've gotten yourself a few Sacrificial Hearts, which are obtained for completing the aforementioned objectives, you can purchase covenants.

There isn't a way to select specific covenants - instead, they're all unlocked from the get-go, but the selection is always random. You can purchase and equip up to three at a time, and the more time you spend in matches, the more you will start seeing the same covenants with higher rarities.

So, what exactly are the covenants, then? Jump to our next section for the full list.

How to unlock epic and legendary covenants in Call of Duty: Vanguard Zombies

Such as we have seen before with past releases, it's worth staying awhile in Call of Duty: Vanguard Zombies. Not only you'll have the chance to save more money and pursue better upgrades or more powerful weapons - covenants will become better as well.

In our experience, covenants always started on the Rare category. This is your standard, and in most cases, it only adds the perk/ability for you to use. In order to obtain better versions of covenants, you'll have to spend some time completing objectives

The Altar's eyes change colour to reflect the covenants' rarity.

In most cases, it didn't take long for Epic covenants to appear, which are the second category. Again, the selection is random, so it may take a while for you to stumble an upgraded version of a covenant you have equipped. But at the very least, Epic covenants aren't super elusive.

Legendary covenants, on the other hand, can be more tricky. During one match, we got as far as wave 10 without seeing a single Legendary covenant. It takes some time, but they're definitely worth the wait.

If you happen to be in a rush or just want to know what to expect from the Altar of Covenants at a glance, pay attention to the altar eyes' colour - blue is Rare, purple is Epic, and orange is Legendary.

So, what exactly are the covenants and their rarity bonuses, then? Jump to our next section for the full list.


If you're interested in multiplayer, we have lists of the Operators and multiplayer maps, as well as the best Vanguard weapons, including the best STG44 loadout, best MP40 loadout and best Automaton loadout, best BAR loadout, best Combat Shotgun loadout, best Type 100 loadout, and best Kar98k loadouts. In other modes, we can explain the best zombies builds and best covenants.


Call of Duty: Vanguard covenants list

There is a total of 16 covenants in Call of Duty: Vanguard. Initially there were only 11, but Vanguard Season 1 brought 5 new covenants. In addition, each has multiple rarities (which can range from Rare to Epic and Legendary), so longer matches will definitely be worth your time.

The randomised nature of covenants means that there is no guarantee of seeing specific covenants over others. It may take a round or two or three, or just don't appear for a long time. The selection can be quite repetitive too, which doesn't help, so patience is definitely advised.

In alphabetical order, you can find the covenants list below:
