Warzone devs address annoying skin trail bug in Operator skins Infinity Ward[jwplayer mCpsAxNx]A Call of Duty: Warzone operator skin is bugged and not showing any smoke trail when the character deploys. This unfair advantage has been called out by the community, with Infinity Ward confirming that they are aware of the issue. No pun intended, but the Wendigo Operator Pack is cool. For just 2,400 Call of Duty Points, you get an adorable abominable snowman charm, a couple frosty weapon blueprints and a chilly Taiga skin for Krueger\u2014but that skin doesn\u2019t have a smoke trail, and that\u2019s a no-go for Warzone\u2019s competitive integrity. You don\u2019t spend a lot of time deploying from the heavens and down onto Verdansk, but those moments, whether at the start of the match or during a re-deployment, spent parachuting and nose-diving into combat are some of the most critical in the game. The sky is the game\u2019s most powerful high ground and, to give people a chance amidst the chaos, each skydiving character is followed by a red trail of smoke. That trail of smoke is crucial on your initial deployment, as it allows you to see where opponents are landing and begin strategizing. Later in the game, it\u2019s less impactful but still useful, so that you\u2019re not surprised by a re-deployed ambush\u2014especially should one of Season 4\u2019s Jailbreak Events occur. Krueger\u2019s Taiga skin breaks that balance by providing people who paid for the bundle with an unfair advantage. In a clip shared by \u2018aur0n\u2019 on Reddit, someone using the skin is seen deploying for an instant with no trail. The character simply disappears to the human eye, with the video needing to be replayed in slow motion just for you to really notice that they\u2019re there. That\u2019s how impactful the lack of a smoke trail is. Fortunately, Infinity Ward is on the case. While the bug has yet to be added to their Trello board, IW\u2019s Senior Communications Manager Ashton Williams replied on Reddit to let the community know that this issue is \u201cnoted.\u201d No matter how slight or niche this advantage is, it still presents concerns for a game that becomes more competitive each passing day. Having any semblance of a pay-to-win microtransaction, that\u2019s available solely to people willing to buy a bundle, is damaging for a game\u2019s integrity. As of yet, there has been no confirmation of when exactly the bug will be fixed\u2014but the developers are aware and it should be remedied soon. In the meantime, just be careful where you drop.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
