Unfortunately, over the last few weeks, since its release, players have found a range of issues from User Interface (UI) glitches to game-breaking glitches. This is unfortunately just a part of game development, so these issues will be ironed out over the next few updates. That said, this list covers some of thebest and most notable glitchesthat players have found. Some of these are far more annoying than others, so the developers will probably be targeting these first.
6Weapon XP Glitch
For players to upgrade their weapons with new attachments they must first use this weapon and gain “weapon XP” through kills or objectives while this weapon is equipped. The main reason players would attempt to reach maximum rank on a gun is to unlock the tuning feature. This allows the user to further customize each attachment to further benefit the weapon in a specific category, such as recoil or maneuverability.
Players have found many ways to manipulate theModern WarfareandWarzoneleveling systems to help upgrade their weapons. Pairing this with the XP tokens can also help players level weapons faster.
However, there are definitely a few ways to level weapons using methods that the developers did not intend to include in the game, most notably inWarzone’snew DMZ mode. Picking up a weapon next to a small amount of cash can cause the player to have the maximum amount of cash possible. If this is then used at a Buy Station to purchase ammunition boxes players can quickly gain XP for the weapon they have equipped.

Although this completely bypasses any satisfying gameplay loops, it can have a massive benefit in game modes such asWarzonewhere players' custom loadout can be the difference between winning and losing.
5Menu Bugs
It’s safe to say thatModern Warfare 2andWarzone’s menu need some work. There is still a range of menu and UI bugs that make navigating the main menu extremely frustrating. There are currently a few bugs that send players back to the start-up page without any warning.
Although this is a part of game development, it’s unfortunate these bugs haven’t been prioritized as it’s clear a large proportion of the player base is still suffering from these issues. For those that may not be used to issues such as this, it can be difficult to understand why it’s happening and if it’s a user issue rather than an issue in the development process.
Hopefully, these bugs are somewhat ironed out with the mid-season update in the form of Season 1 Reloaded.
4Disappearing Backpacks
Disappearing backpacks were acommon issue in DMZ at launch. This has become much less common with the last few updates, but it is definitely still present. This is an issue that directly affects gameplay as players will generally be going for kills to get better loot or restock on ammo and armor.
Unfortunately, this issue has now crept intoWarzoneas well, with players noticing this happening more often over the last few days. This can be a serious issue, especially at the top end of the competitive spectrum. If players have just won a heavy gunfight, they may have lost a significant amount of resources. If they are then unable to loot the player they just killed, it can put the player in a difficult situation.

Although this may not seem like the biggest issue, when it happens it can really throw off the player’s game strategy.
3Bomb Drones
If players have been playingWarzonesince its launch, they may have noticed the removal of the notorious bomb drone. To some, this may seem like a purposeful gameplay change as it can be extremely frustrating to lose a game because of someone using this killstreak.
However, it was removed due to a bug/glitch found within the game. It’s unclear as to what this glitch was, but its absence is incredibly noticeable to those who would use it. It’s likely this drone will be added back to the game with an upcoming update, but for now, players will have to go without.
For those who play in the Duo, Trio, or Squad game modes, players may have noticed some issues with the spawns when returning to the match (from the Gulag) with more than one teammate. Currently, there is a glitch that will spawn players and their teammates onopposite sides of the mapmaking it difficult to regroup and start looting again.
This was an issue that was present inWarzone’s predecessor, so this may be adeliberate gameplay feature, but it’s hard to see a reason behind it. It’s likely this occurs to stop players from spawning next to enemies also returning from the Gulag, but it occasionally affects the spawn of the friendly team as well.
With a little communication, players can coordinate and decide on a good place to land, but for those playing in random squads, this issue can mean the difference between winning and losing.
1Most Wanted Contracts
Finally, players may also notice the absence of one other gameplay feature inWarzone 2.0,this being the Most Wanted Contract.
The Most Wanted Contracts are extremely effective in the team-based game modes (everything except solos) as on completion they will bring back every member of the team who may be out of the game. This would also grant each member of the team a significant amount of cash to help them get better loot from a Buy Station and get them back in the game a little faster.
Sadly, this contracthas been entirely removed from the gameafter players found agame-breaking glitchrelated to this specific contract. Fans hope this will return to the game soon, as it really changes the strategy of the game when players are the last alive on their team.
Warzone 2.0is now available on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
