A short clip shared on the r/CODWarzone subreddit highlights the latest in a string of bizarre bugs encountered byCall of Duty: Warzone 2players, this time showing a player seemingly keeping the jailer’s massively powerful minigun in their inventory after surviving a fight in the Gulag. Posted by Reddit user MRichards18, the clip shows a player grabbing the menacing minigun at the start of the Gulag match and quickly proceeding to eliminate their opposition. After receiving a popup indicating their victory, the clip closes as the player redeploys and plummets towards the battlefield with the minigun still in their inventory.
Responses to the video were mixed, with some players frustrated by the appearance of another high-profile bug while others pondered how to get a minigun of their very own inCall of Duty: Warzone 2. Referencing the recent announcement that1v1 Gulags are coming toWarzone 2, one player noted that being able to retain the minigun after a match could be a good incentive for teams to beat the jailer if 2v2 Gulag were to remain in the game. Another commenter shared a story of unexpectedly coming into possession of the powerful minigun after attempting to pick up a grenade off the ground.
While wielding a weapon as powerful as the jailer’s minigun is undoubtedly satisfying, being able to drop back intoCall of Duty: Warzone 2’s online battlefield with such a powerful weapon in tow definitely creates some balance issues. In any case, leaving the Gulag with a souvenir of slaughter is a better outcome than encountering theglitch sending players toWarzone 2’s Gulag at random.
Call of Duty: Warzone 2is out now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
