A strange bug in Warzone 2 penalizes players for sniping

Players of Call of Duty: Warzone 2 are experiencing an odd bug that prevents them from sniping, though it's unclear how widespread the issue is.

A strange bug in Call of Duty: Warzone 2 prevents players from sniping. Sniper builds are very common in Activision's popular battle royale first-person shooter because the developer's nerfs to weapons like the Crossbow make headshots the only reliable one-hit kill. Unfortunately, players are powerless to prevent sudden game crashes during long-range combat.

Call of Duty: Warzone 2 was created by Infinity Ward and Raven Software with assistance from other Activision divisions, and it was released in 2022 to generally favorable reviews. Warzone 2 is free to play with or without its parent game, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, despite the fact that it is technically a part of that title. Warzone 2 offers a number of improvements over the original Call of Duty: Warzone, including new maps, game modes, and other content. Unfortunately, there are a few strange bugs among them.

The title of a post by Reddit user Kenja Time reads, "I know the devs hate snipers, but this is a bit excessive. A brief video of them playing Call of Duty: Warzone 2 can be found in the post. They quickly identify a different adversary peeping around a cement wall far below from a vantage point high above the Al Mazrah map of Warzone 2. When the player positions his crosshairs over the target's head and releases the trigger, the screen briefly goes black and an error message appears. The video then cuts to a player-on-player sniper duel, but as they both fire, Warzone 2 disconnects once more.

It's clear that it's not just a coincidence because Kenja Time's game disconnected at least twice. Additionally, they are not the only Call of Duty: Warzone 2 player experiencing this issue. A similar disconnect occurred during SoCaLove's livestream on March 5, and the streamer also attributed the problem to a sniper glitch. Another user who posted about their experience during a Warzone 2 DMZ match on the Call of Duty: Warzone subreddit.

When Kenja Time suggested that Raven Software was purposefully disconnecting players who use sniper rifles, he was undoubtedly joking. It's still a strange glitch, though, and it's not clear why some Call of Duty: Warzone 2 players are having this issue. The number of players who are having the same problem is also unknown. All of the reported occurrences, though, appear to be restricted to Warzone 2's Al Mazrah map, which is the setting for the game's DMZ and primary battle Royale modes. It is hoped that researchers will find this bug's origin as soon as possible.

Call of Duty: Warzone 2 is available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
