Call of Duty: Warzone has been a hit with battle royale fans and many are enjoying using the mechanics of the Call of Duty franchise while battling it out to be the last team standing. To adapt to player expectations, Warzone has had a series of updates but with these changes, new problems have surfaced. While most players are still enjoying the experience offered in the game, some have noticed a serious issue with C4.
Reddit user badder_endd highlighted the issue on the Warzone forum and noted that every time they tried to use the item they "started coughing into their elbow." The footage the player provided confirmed that this animation stopped after the elbow was raised. It seems that the usual animation is broken and as a result, the C4 is not being placed and this will be problematic for players who want to take out opponents with the explosive. Unfortunately, there is no way to be sure whether the C4 animation will work and so players will just have to hope for a successful explosion. In this instance, the player managed to get away with testing out the animation but others may not be so lucky.
Was going to throw a C4. I instead started coughing into my elbow whenever I pushed the button from CODWarzone
It is unclear what created this issue and because of that, the problem may persist for some unfortunate players. Many will hope that this issue is fixed in the next update for Warzone and given that Infinity Ward frequently address issues if the problem becomes widespread it should be dealt with. Nonetheless many will hope that they can rely on the weapons and explosives in the game rather than anticipating a possible glitch that could prove deadly.
Warzone has a huge player base and while most are happy, some fans do run into issues. While it is unlikely that Warzone bugs will completely disappear, many will hope that these kinds of issues are addressed quickly before they impact more players and their experience.
Call of Duty: Warzone is available on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
