Warzone can feel like a buggy mess at times. This is the price players pay when new content is constantly being added that may not receive enough time to do proper quality assurance testing. When the game works, it can be a lot of fun. When a game-breaking bug gives players unlimited revives on Rebirth Island, the playerbase collectively shakes its head.

The latest out of Verdansk is that light from the recently integrated Black Ops flashlight attachment is bleeding through walls, potentially giving away a player’s location. The flashlight is a useful attachment in a number of Black Ops Cold War multiplayer modes, but hasn’t seen as much love in Warzone. This new glitch certainly won’t be converting any Warzone players over to the flashlight anytime soon. In videos shown of the glitch, it is fairly obvious that the cone of light from the flashlight pops right through a wall instead of being blocked by it. In a game where positioning is key, giving away one’s location usually leads to a quick death.
Call of Duty: Warzone is constantly being tweaked, and the developer in charge of the Black Ops & Modern Warfare integration, Raven Software, has been good so far at addressing issues quickly. After being overpowered for far too long, it didn’t take long for Raven to nerf the R9-0 shotgun.
This glitch is likely to get a fairly quick and easy patch. It wasn’t long ago that light from a holographic watch caused a similar issue in Warzone. Making sure that every item that has a light source works properly, and isn’t compromised when a new update drops, take a lot of effort. The devs can’t always catch everything.
What is more frustrating is when the same glitch keeps appearing, like the infinite stim glitch, that made a return visit to Warzone recently. The flashlight bug should be taken care of in short order, but what will break next in this game is anyone’s guess.
Call of Duty: Warzone is available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
