A Reddit user named LordTexugo has shared a video highlighting this bug with riot shields, which seems to occur while using a zipline inWarzone 2. As seen in the video, LordTexugo is moving up a zipline with the riot shield equipped, but a player on the roof of the building kills them with bullets, making it seem like the shield does not offer protection whileusing a zipline inCall of Duty. The killcam shows the perspective of the other player, revealing that a bug may have occurred in this instance.
As shown in theWarzone 2killcam, the other player can target LordTexugo’s full body, as the riot shield is seemingly stuck to their side as they move up the zipline. It also shows the riot shield moving to their back at the last second as they equip their gun, but it’s too late as the opponent manages to get the kill with ease. In the end, the event featured in the killcam is completely different from the one experienced by LordTexugo.
It appears thatCall of Dutyfans in the comments section aren’t a fan of gamers using riot shields, with some players expressing their approval of the bug in the footage. Some users even say that LordTexugo deserved it for using a riot shield, with one fan claiming that the same incident occurs while using theBattle Rage field upgrade inCall of Duty: Warzone 2. It looks like gamers are still experiencing bugs while playingWarzone 2, as several players also discuss other broken animations and mechanics present in the battle royale title.
Call of Duty: Warzone 2is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
