Call of Duty: Warzone’s Season 4 bugs have frequently been front and center lately. The new Fortune’s Keep map has had players getting stuck on terrain, players glitching underneath the map itself, a bug that covers players’ screens with the “Return to Map” overlay for the entire match, and more, so it’s understandable that people would be frustrated with yet another bug, no matter how simple.

One of several Call of Duty: Warzone operator bugs, this particular bug was found when a player used a finishing move on their opponent while playing as the operator Charly. While the actual function of the finishing move was not affected at all, the visual of it very much was. Normally, the British operator would pull out her handgun and execute the enemy by pulling the trigger herself, but in this case the operator’s gun appears to take on a life of its own. The weapon floats into the air and fires at the enemy character without any input from Charly whatsoever.
This animation bug is another in an unfortunately long list of bugs plaguing Season 4 of the popular Battle Royale shooter. While it’s thankfully not as game-breaking as spawning in a horde of zombies on Fortune’s Keep or some of the other previously-mentioned bugs, it can still be frustrating to players. Visual bugs, of course, are not as impactful as bugs that affect gameplay, but finishing moves that players paid for should function as advertised.
Game-breaking bugs should definitely be prioritized on the list of things to fix, but it’s important that Raven Software make sure that things like finishing moves and other cosmetics remain relatively bug free. These features are a key part of the package that keeps players engaged and coming back to the game. If these bugs become too widespread, it could add to the frustration created by actual gameplay issues caused by cosmetics, like the new Night Terror Florence skin that some players claim is pay to win.
Of course, cosmetics aren’t everything in a game, and there are always players who don’t spend money on skins or finishing moves. That demographic is no doubt less concerned about any of the cosmetic visual bugs, since they don’t play with them. A lot of people do like to spend money to deck out their operators and make their Call of Duty: Warzone experience their own though, so even minor bugs like this one can still be important.
Call of Duty: Warzone is available on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
