Call of Duty has accompanied our author Maik Schneider for ages. Over the years, a little wishful thinking has developed. He has always wanted to see his favorite killstreak in action, and Modern Warfare 2 fulfills his wish.
Killstreaks are the cherries on top of the “Call of Duty” sundae. We’d rather not talk too much about the taste, slightly salty with a toxic note.
For good performance and kills in a row, the shooter gives me some nasty war toys in my inventory – helpful reconnaissance drones, juggernauts with radio reception, controllable mini-tanks with a thirst for blood.
For years, however, the deployable automatic turret has been my absolute favorite. For 7 kills without dying, I can place it somewhere on the map and take out careless opponents without lifting a finger.
For years, I can’t help but think about a small glitch – what if I could combine the turret with flying devices to turn the self-targeting turret into a flying death machine?
In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, this is finally possible.
CoD MW2: Glitch lets the turret fly
What kind of glitch is this? You can combine the field upgrade “recon drone” with the automatic turret. A few simple steps, and suddenly the otherwise ground-bound device is flying over the maps.
The following video shows how easy it is:
It’s just a small detail and a bug in the game. But somehow, it makes me happy to see the flying turret. I can check that off my list.
How powerful is it? It’s just a gimmick and does not provide any real advantages. The VTOL jet comes with 8 kills in a row – it does basically the same, automatically targeting enemies and flying over the map.
You don’t even have to control the VTOL; I manually place the turret where I want it to be.
Moreover, the biggest advantage of the turret is lost. It gets destroyed when the reconnaissance drone runs out of fuel. However, the turret seems to stay in its place forever, as long as it is not specifically destroyed by enemies.
It’s a glitch and somewhat silly, but I’m still celebrating the flying turret in CoD MW2.
Do you have a similar story to share or a specific gadget you’d love to see in Call of Duty? Has this glitch perhaps occurred before and I just missed it? Leave a comment on the topic.
