On Thursday, Infinity Ward tweeted that it is working on an express fix for one of Call of Duty: Warzoneare the most troublesome bugs.
Recently, players have been dealing with bizarre visual bugs. For some reason, picking or switching to certain weapons can cause gunshot wounds. Polygons bounce off the gun, creating a jumbled mess around it. In some cases, the textures of the gun wrap around the player, creating a blob of pointed, colored triangles. In even more advanced cases, this break creates a visual box around the player, making them a sort of thing glitchy cube.
This break obviously makes enemies quite difficult to spot, as seen in the clip above. This destroys firefights for some players, and makes winning a much more frustrating experience than normal, as you have to fight both your opponent and the visual breaker.
But the weapon break also shows the visibility of the player using it.
We are not sure how long this bug has been plagued Warzone players, although the patch on August 11 earlier this week seems to have made it much more frequent.
We are currently working on a fix to fix the recent graphical corruption bugs that some people may have seen on weapons and ran the map in Warzone. We aim to release this fix as soon as possible and will provide more details as they become available.

According to Joe Cecot, co-design director for multiplayer at Infinity Ward, this solution will need its own patch – meaning the studio will not be able to update the issue quickly. It’s unclear at the moment when Infinity Ward will deliver a fix, or why the bug happens in the first place.
We reached out to Infinity Ward about the break and the timing around a fix.
