A new bug has started causing problems for some players in Call of Duty: Warzone, making completing some contracts in the game difficult if not completely impossible. So, even as players figure out the new Call of Duty: Warzone meta after recent updates, everything might still not go as planned, perfect loadout or not.

The contracts in particular that are being affected are Call of Duty: Warzone's bounties, which require players to hunt down an opponent somewhere nearby on the map and take them out. These can be some of the highest paying contracts in the game, though it also has the benefit of giving players a rough estimate of where at least one enemy or team might be in the immediate area.

For this new bug, players are finding that killing the target of a bounty contract doesn't immediately mark the activity as complete or give out the rewards that should have just been earned. Instead, when players check their map to see what has happened to the target, the tracker shows that the enemy is out of the map and either fighting or waiting for a fight in Call of Duty: Warzone's Gulag. This means that while the target player might have been successfully killed, the bug keeps players from being rewarded for fulfilling the bounty contract one the enemy's first death.

While it seems that other contracts are unaffected by this recent bug, this does mean that bounty contracts might be off the table for some players until the issue is fully addressed. This could mean a huge hit in one of the most popular ways to earn money in Call of Duty: Warzone, which makes everything from buying UAVs to reviving players that much harder as the available money pools dry up. However, there are still other ways to earn these rewards in-game, so for now players can still rely on loot chests and the other types of contracts to make sure they have enough to keep stocked up and dropping in their custom loadouts.

Running into any type of bug in a game like Call of Duty: Warzone can be frustrating for most players, but it does come as a bit of an expectation due to the consistent stream of updates. These types of issues are easy to slip through the cracks, but once developer Raven Software catches wind of the bug it should get resolved soon. For now, players will want to avoid bounty contracts until the glitch has been officially addressed if they don't want to waste their time on a broken hunt.
