Another day, another video game glitch discovery. ACall of Duty: Black Ops Cold Warplayer has recently found that using a specific weapon gives them the ability to fly.
Developer Treyarch’s sixth entry in itsBlack Opsseries launched on November 13. The game has been met with mixed reception, with some players praising its innovative campaign and others criticizing online gameplay issues. The cross-generational title has been plagued with frequent bugs since launch, so severely thatCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold War’s Season 1 andWarzoneintegration was pushed back several weeks from its original date. Post-integration, there are still a litany ofbroken glitches that need to be fixedbetween the titles.

Reddit user E3zyy posted to theCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold Warthread documenting the bizarre glitch. The short clip shows the player consecutively throwing two Semtex grenades over a house on the Nuketown map. A moment after chucking the second one, E3zyy essentially becomes a third Semtex themselves, flying in a similar path to the sticky explosives. After a few seconds of their best Iron Man impression, the player is killed just before landing. Judging by the gamer’s reaction at the end of the video, it appears the maneuver was anything but intentional.
While this could develop into a new method of rocket-jumping - a popular tactic of firing a rocket into the ground as a means of propulsion - most gamers would consider it much more difficult. The buggy nature of the clip suggests that it may be just another bug Treyarch needs to work out. Despite bugs and glitches appearing to be rampant throughout the title, some of the bugs that players are discovering aren’t necessarily bad. For instance, one player has just discovered anexploit that instantly unlocks diamond camo, rather than the usual grind-heavy requirement of getting five gold skins in a single weapon class first.
This isn’t the only glitch being documented in Nuketown, however. Another Reddit user recently posted a video to the same thread which showedCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold War’s magnumsappearing to have major hit detection issues.
WhileCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold Waris the latest entry in the franchise, many gamers were upset with the “forced” integration ofWarzoneandModern Warfare. There is a sizable amount ofCoDplayers who have spoken up with concerns that the streamlining has pushed the Infinity Ward-producedModern Warfareto the back burner. It should then come as good news that publisher Activision has not only promised additional content, but has confirmedCall of Duty: Modern Warfareto bethe highest-earning premium game of 2020. While this may not guarantee the title’s continued support, its a prime example at just how lucrativeCall of Dutycan be.
Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold Waris available on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
