Call of Duty Warzone has been full of glitches ever since the launch of season 5, which brought in a number of additions to the game. Players dropped in Verdansk with great anticipation but were disappointed by the major flaws.

First, it was Bruen. Mk9 Bruen was the newest meta in season 5 given its capability to kill in an efficient and ridiculous fashion. Two taps, above the torso, on full armored enemies, were enough to kill. Add to that the magazine size and the Bruen was shredding people left, right, and center in Verdansk.

Furthermore, there was a gun glitch that made players appear like boxes. Thankfully, Infinity Ward fixed it last week.

Not too long before players had realized there was another exploit in the game. The FR 5.56 under-barrel shotgun attachment was broken, which allowed players to kill with it from 20 yards with a single tap. However, players who preferred to play with it outnumbered those who complained about it.

Here is a look at popular YouTuber Nickmercs enjoying the exploit.

Season 5 of Warzone gradually turned from the best season to the worst one yet. Furthermore, there were other exploits in the game that needed to be fixed, such as location-based and map exploits. Infinity Ward today announced that it had released a midseason patch.
