Season 6 for both Call of Duty: Warzone and Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War is already underway and, unsurprisingly, players have already encountered new issues following the recent update. A bizarre bug unique to the Xbox version of the game has forced players to redownload Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War again and a far more infuriating one has been discovered in Call of Duty: Warzone.
Specifically, the bug is affecting Call of Duty: Warzone’s Ghost perk. As a quick reminder, the Ghost perk renders players almost invisible by making them undetectable on the in-game radar, opening up opportunities for stealth and sneak attacks.
However, some players have noticed that they are still appearing on the radar even with the Ghost perk, effectively making it useless. Not only that, but this problem technically isn’t even new. According to Dexerto, players have experienced this bug as early as July.
At the time, the issue seemed to be limited to private lobbies. That doesn’t necessarily make it better since it meant tournaments could be impacted by the bug as demonstrated by Twitch streamer Jessie Cooks. Back then, it wasn’t entirely clear whether the issue was with the perk itself or if second loadout perks were being ignored in private matches altogether.
But, as of the Call of Duty Season 6 update, the same issue has spread to public matches, suggesting that there is something wrong with the Ghost perk. 100 Thieves’ Thomas "Tommey" Trewren has shared an example of the bug in effect on Twitter in order to spread awareness of it.
Not only that, but it also means the perk won’t even protect players from the UAV, which is designed to reveal the locations of all enemies, making an already powerful killstreak even more so. Hopefully, Activision and Raven Software already know about the bug and are working to fix it. But it’s anyone’s guess when that will happen.
It’s entirely possible that Raven Software is prioritizing all the new content that’s slated for Season 6’s duration. For example, the Halloween The Haunting event. The exact details surrounding that are mostly unknown aside from the fact that it will run from October 19 to November 2.
As a reminder, Activision is currently facing a lawsuit filed by the State of California for allegedly fostering a toxic workplace. This followed a two-year investigation into the company, with multiple accusations of sexual harassment and gender discrimination taking place.
Call of Duty: Warzone is available for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
