Summary
Underbarrel launcher attachments are currently disabled inCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 3andWarzonedue to a frustrating new exploit that allows users to abuse them. Recent patches inCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 3suggest that the development team could fix this issue in a reasonable amount of time.
Recently, on February 23,Call of Dutywas in a semi-broken statethat saw players unable to progress their accounts. Skill-based matchmaking was also temporarily disabled and multiple modes like Zombies and Ranked Play were taken offline. However, much to the satisfaction ofCall of Dutyfans, the severe issues were fixed within 24 hours and the game returned to its normal state. Following the introduction ofCall of Duty’s newest issue, fans are hoping for a similar tempo.
Over the last couple of weeks, a new exploit has begun to spread throughoutCall of Dutythat allows users to fire unlimited, semi-automatic grenades from an underbarrel launcher attachment. Over recent days, the exploit has increased in popularity, with more and more users falling prey to the glitch. In response to this, the official CODUpdates Twitter account announced that underbarrel launcher attachments have been temporarily disabled while the development team investigates the issue, as fans hope for a fix within the next day or so.Call of Dutystreamer Fifakill_ posted a video to his Twitter account that showed him being pummeled by an abuser’s semi-automatic grenade launcher.
Call of Duty Temporarily Disables Underbarrel Launcher Attachments
Given that the glitch has been in the game for some time now, users probably would have preferred to see it fixed earlier in the month, but of course, any fix is better than no fix. The exploit appears to only be an in-game glitch rather than a new form of cheating software, soCall of Duty’s recent anti-cheat upgradesare likely not much of a factor here.
Like many popular first-person shooters,cheating is a constant issue forCall of Duty. Recent titles have made it more inconvenient for console players to disable crossplay, causing many console users to enter matchmaking with the PC player base and its bad apples who decide to download cheats.
In response to the cheating issue,Call of Duty’s anti-cheat system has implemented a number of counters, including the humorous “Splat” function, which cuts aWarzonecheater’s parachute after cheats are detected. Despite the system’s supposed improvements over recent months, cheating is still a prevalent issue withinCall of Dutyand probably isn’t going away anytime soon.
