Summary
ACall of Duty: Warzoneplayer experienced a bug in the gulag, in which the opposing player was able to kill them before the round’s countdown timer even finished. TheWarzoneuser captured the frustrating bug on video, and based on other players' reports, it seems to be a long-running issue.
This glitch seems quite similar to aWarzonebug that was reported almost a year ago, which saw some players able to eliminate their gulag opponents before the round had started. It’s not clear whether this issue was ever fixed, and this newest video might be showcasing the same bug. If true, this wouldn’t paintWarzone’s development team in the best light, as this is basically a game-breaking bug that may have gone unaddressed.
Reddit user lg_3000 posted a video that showed him being eliminated in the gulag while he was still frozen in place, waiting for the countdown timer to finish. His opponent was seemingly free to move, quickly sliding into his spawn and eliminating him. This is an understandably frustrating bug, as this gulag participant had probably invested a significant amount of time in the match before being unfairly eliminated. Many commenters under the post sympathized with the user’s frustrations.
One user explained that this bug has existed for a long time now, and theorized thatWarzone’s developers haven’t prioritized fixing the bug because it’s a rare issue. Another commenter claimed that the glitched player isn’t actually the victim’s assigned opponent in the gulag, but instead is a previous gulag participant who was incorrectly left in the arena. While it’s understandable that the development team must prioritizemore prevalentWarzoneissues, this is a frustrating glitch that fans want to be fixed sooner rather than later.
While bugs are not a rare occurrence within the popular battle royale, someWarzoneglitches are much more enjoyablethan others. For example, one comical glitch saw one user’s character bug out and seemingly attempt to kill the game’s Graves character during its intro sequence.
Despite the various bugs seen inWarzone, it remains a popular game and is one of the most successful battle royales on the market.Warzonerecently received its major Season 1update, which saw the addition of the new Urzikstan map, a new gulag arena, new gameplay mechanics, and more.Warzoneseems to be the most successful addition to theCall of Dutyfranchise in a very long time, but in a surprising turn of events, one Activision executive recently claimed thatModern Warfare 3’s Zombies mode is the best-rated new modeadded toCall of Dutyin a decade.
