Although Call of Duty: Warzone players are currently dealing with some major glitches with its Season 6 guns on top of the usual cheaters and gameplay bugs, combatants in the battle royale are still able to pull off some remarkable feats without using exploits. In one shocking instance, for example, a single player was able to take out an entire squad with only one extremely fortunate shot.
While Call of Duty: Warzone's current gameplay balance makes sniper rifles, like the new SP-R 208 Marksman Rifle incredibly powerful, both the gamer in question and the unfortunate team came forward to confirm that it was not a physics issue, but a rather lucky kill. In a widely shared clip, Reddit user MegasHvalur used a Brookside HDR sniper rifle to aim at a squad on lower ground.
Upon firing at the other group, which was taking cover around a group of trees, the Call of Duty: Warzone player triggered an explosion that immediately killed all four squad members. Although such a feat might seem impossible, one of the fallen players came forward in the replies to explain how this happened. After some initial confusion, the player AtriGoXD reviewed his footage and realized that MegasHvalur's bullet had detonated the munition box he threw on the ground moments before. Acknowledging how irregular the whole situation was, the dead soldier told his killer that one of his inexperienced teammates actually reported the incident for cheating. In another comment, AtriGoXD offered his own perspective in-game for proof.
Despite the tree blocking some of the player's targets, players confirmed that the munition box's explosion animation is more visible when they play the clip in slow motion. While several users expressed their admiration for the quad kill without the other players counting as collateral deaths, others shared their own tips for completing group kills. One response recommended killing Warzone squads in vehicles, which can take two to six shots to detonate. Some users complained about the sniper rifles' inconsistencies, sharing stories of their own deaths despite making solid hits.
Despite the many issues that Infinity Ward and Activision need to patch before Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Season 7, players can undoubtedly still appreciate the open-ended nature of some of the gameplay. Without these memorable uses of the game's mechanics, both Warzone and the larger Call of Duty franchise would be struggling to stand out from a crowd of competitors.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is available on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
