Warzone streamer frustrated by water physics gets a science lesson from dev Activision BlizzardRealism in video games can hit you like a tonne of bricks as one poor Warzone streamer discovered. Their complaints about being unable to shoot enemies underwater prompted some education on physics from a developer and a thousand or so followers. Call of Duty\u2019s Warzone battle royal off-shoot recently integrated with Modern Warfare 3 bringing the franchise\u2019s latest entry\u2019s gameplay systems across. The newest update has seen an arms race kick off as players search for the most dominant weapons. The transition from Verdansk to Urkzistan hasn\u2019t been entirely smooth with players complaining of \u201cawful\u201d audio and cutscene cringe. Those aren\u2019t the only problems players seem to be having with Warzone\u2019s latest incarnation, however. GamesRadar+ caught FaZe Santana having a bit of a breakdown in his most recent Warzone stream after an enemy escaped his fully automatic fire by taking a swim. When the streamer couldn\u2019t understand why shooting underwater wouldn\u2019t work, players and a developer rushed to explain. In a clip uploaded to X (formerly Twitter), Santana can be seen hunting down an opponent who evades him by diving underwater. \u201cHow are my bullets not hitting him,\u201d Santana asks himself. Getting progressively tilted, Santana eventually gets dropped after giving away his position by spraying countless bullets into the water. \u201cWhat the f**k is that!\u201d he shrieks upon his death. A community note has been added to his post that links a Myth Busters clip explaining why bullets fired into water rapidly lose velocity and effectiveness. Build and Automation Engineer for Warzone @KasikaQC replied to Santana saying this particular feature was \u201cworking as intended. The comments were flooded with other Warzone players explaining \u201chow water works\u201d. Others roasted Santana for not knowing in the first place. Santana responded to arguments for realism by bringing up various other mechanics in Warzone that require some suspension of disbelief such as decreased fall damage and infinite parachutes. \u201cIt\u2019s insane this is what realism they pick to fight for,\u201d he said.
