In what has turned out to be an in-game glitch, random ground loot is\u2026 \u2018flash banging\u2019 gamers. Typically, ground loot serves a very useful purpose \u2013 as you can pick up guns and equipment that you\u2019d otherwise need to rely on a loadout for. While taking your time to sift through stuff on the floor can be a risk, it\u2019s usually relatively safe. That might be changing, though, as a new bug has been popping up for players across all systems. When approaching random pieces of ground loot, they\u2019re finding their entire screens obfuscated by a mostly opaque white haze \u2013 much like a flash bang. In a video posted to Reddit, they showed the glitch in action and asked a simple question with their title: \u201cWhat\u2019s happening?\u201d New Warzone ground loot bug \u2018flash bangs\u2019 players As you can see in the clip, the player approaches an MP-40 and, as soon as they\u2019re about to reach the gun, their screen is immediately covered in white. The large cloud practically covers the entire screen and does so at all angles until the player moves away from the gun. While some thought the issue might be caused by an issue with PC hardware, the player explained that they were using a PS4 when it happened. Unfortunately, it doesn\u2019t seem to be limited to console, either, as another commented saying they met the bug on PC as well. A number of others seemed to encounter this issue, too, with all saying it happened on Rebirth Island. At the moment, it remains unclear exactly what\u2019s causing the bug, but it seems that locations like Harbor, Security, and Prison aren\u2019t safe. Of course, people also joked about this weird glitch in the replies. One said the gun would turn you into a \u201cwalking flash bang,\u201d while another warned \u201cit\u2019s Jesus Cristo appearing on you. Doomsday.\u201d As far as answering the title\u2019s question, someone else had a very uninspiring response: \u201cThe game is going to s**t that\u2019s what\u2019s happening.\u201d There\u2019s no word yet on a fix, but hopefully Raven Software add it to their to-do list pronto.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bizarre Warzone bug causes ground loot weapons to \u201cflash bang\u201d players ActivisionA new Call of Duty: Warzone bug is making the rounds and players are absolutely baffled, thinking their hardware might be at fault.
