Warzone Most Wanted Contracts Pulled After Causing Invincibility Glitch
Developer Raven Software has been forced to pull the Most Wanted Contracts from the most recent Call Of Duty: Warzone patch after players found the contracts activated an invincibility glitch. Thanks to an exploit, players were becoming essentially invincible, creating an unfair experience in servers to the extent that the mode needed to be removed.
Call of Duty: Warzone is the Call of Duty franchise’s battle royale mode, where a mass amount of players drop down into a map and fight to survive. Players must find equipment, guns, armor, ammo, and healing items, all while fighting against enemy players and the occasional zombie horde. The last team or player surviving wins, earning in-game currency and experience points. Warzone is always evolving, with new seasonal events changing the map and adding in different modifiers to the game. Many players believe that the next seasonal event will involve the developers blowing up the entire map with Nukes to make way for a new map. But the newest glitch was discovered a day after the recent patch, back on April 15, when players found themselves seemingly invincible in online games.
Rumors of the glitch spread quickly across social media channels and soon players were using the exploit in most matches. The exploit made players immune to all kinds of damage, including fall damage, bullets, zombies, and toxic gas. Before long, the glitch became known as the “God Mode” bug, with videos of players using it popping up online. Now, Raven Software has had to remove the Most Wanted Contacts update from the game, with the developers identifying the most recent patch that added the mode to Warzone.
It was through entering into a contract that players were able to exploit the “God Mode” bug. Currently, the game does not contain these contracts, while Raven Software works to fix the glitch. This is similar to when helicopters were added to Warzone but were rife with glitches from the get-go. Those helicopters were then removed from Warzone as the devs worked on a fix. Hopefully, the developers will be able to locate the source of the bug and add the Most Wanted Contracts back to Warzone fairly quickly.
The next Warzone update is currently unknown, with the developers having to quickly roll back the servers. The Warzone players are currently counting down to the end of Season Two next week. On April 21, Warzone should be updated and Season Two will end. It is unknown at this point if the Most Wanted Contracts will be fixed by then.
