In fast-paced first-person shooters like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, firearms are the most important tool to withstand your adversaries. However, a new bug undermines this and renders your weapons completely useless. Find out here what you can do about it.
What kind of bug is this? A new glitch in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare leads to frustrating loading problems and renders your weapon unusable.
Since the release of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, players have been plagued by both minor and major bugs, and unfortunately, the developers have not really managed to get a grip on the problem.
Although bugs disappear with almost every patch, new issues often reappear with new updates. The current bug is particularly annoying because it compromises the most important feature of a first-person shooter: the firearms.
Modern Warfare: Bug leaves you almost defenseless
Wow, and what does that look like? There are already several videos of the phenomenon on Reddit.
The Reddit user “Diazepam” posted a video of a round of Cyber Attack on Piccadilly, showing the devastating effects of the bug. After a skillful run behind enemy lines, he cannot eliminate the surprised opponents and is instead executed himself.
In this case, the entire round may have been lost due to the bug, as “Diazepam” would likely have revived 2 teammates right after the kills.
What exactly does the bug do? This is not entirely clear. In the video above, the player can aim and somehow squeeze out a few shots from his barrel.
However, at the end of the clip, you can also see how “Diazepam” moves unusually, and his character appears to be somewhat stuck.
In another clip, the player can move well, but cannot aim at all.
It seems that there are several manifestations of the bug, but they all have one thing in common. The weapons become unusable for the moment. You cannot fire.
Source of the error unclear, but solution seems simple
When does the bug occur? It is not entirely certain, but it seems to be related to sprinting at the start of the match.
The user “Drummer829”, who also posted the second video, did some investigations. He thinks that the error occurs right at the start of a round and may be triggered by sprinting.
Some players, however, are not entirely sure and think that perhaps their controller or mouse is slowly giving up. The numerous reports do indicate a bug, which is not as obvious as enemies behind walls or players, who cheat on regional servers for weeks, but is still very annoying.
What can I do about it? There are a few suggestions from users on how to repair your weapons. One could help by changing the firing mode.
Another user recommends slightly adjusting the loadout and starting the next spawn with a different setting. More loadout slots are supposed to be added soon, then you can create your current main set twice and just switch.
Unfortunately, it was not possible to reproduce the bug. However, the two suggestions seem to have helped quite a few users. If the bug occurs for you, try one of the two tricks.
