Call of Duty: Modern Warfaremay be getting a bit overshadowed by the recently releasedWarzonebattle royale right now, but that doesn’t mean that there aren’t some things in the base game that need attention right now. Case in point, aCall of Duty: Modern Warfarefan recently uploaded a clip to Reddit that shows them seeing straight through smoke without using a thermal scope.
The clip was uploaded by Reddit user Reg3tti and has nearly 20,000 upvotes at the time of this writing. The bug happens inModern Warfarewhen players have an Integral Hybrid Optic sight equipped to their gun, allowing them to see through smoke without needing a thermal scope or even needing to aim down the sights. This allowed Reg3tti to get a cheap kill on their opponent while playing on theZhokov Boneyard Ground War map.
