Call of Duty: Warzone has its fair share of glitches, and sometimes these glitches give a glimpse into future content, or ideas that were scrapped. For example, there was a glitch recently that suggests the Juggernaut killstreak could be coming to Warzone, and now a new glitch has revealed an unreleased healing item for the game.
Call of Duty: Warzone player and Reddit user regnilsemaj recently shared a clip of his character using bandages, which don't currently exist in the game. The glitch happened as regnilsemaj was attempting to put on new armor plates while simultaneously climbing up a ladder. It's possible that this Warzone bandage animation is due to a scrapped feature, but it's also possible that it's something that's going to be added in a future update at some point.
Most battle royale games use bandages for players to heal themselves, but Call of Duty: Warzone has regenerating health instead. This cuts down on the number of healing items that Warzone players need to carry around at any given time, in turn ensuring that players aren't spending a ton of time in their inventory screens. Call of Duty: Warzone reviews have praised this feature quite a bit, and so one has to imagine that switching from regenerating health to bandages would not necessarily be met positively by the community.
However, it's possible that the Warzone bandages are going to be used for a limited-time mode, as opposed to the main battle royale experience. Call of Duty: Warzone has been experimenting with Classic Battle Royale modes lately that strip away a lot of the Warzone innovations for a more traditional experience. While it retains the regenerating health, perhaps future iterations of Warzone's Classic Battle Royale will do away with it in favor of adding bandages.
Whether Call of Duty: Warzone is adding bandages or was going to add them before scrapping the idea is hard to say at this point. However, there is a big update for Warzone planned for next week, and it's entirely within the realm of possibility that bandages will be properly introduced at that point.
For the uninitiated, Warzone Season 3 is coming to an end, and Warzone Season 4 is expected to start on Wednesday, June 3. Season updates for Warzone have seen significant new content in the past, and there's no indication that Season 4 will be any different. Whether or not that will include the debut of bandages remains to be seen, but fans will find out sooner rather than later.
Call of Duty: Warzone is out now for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
