Call of Duty: Warzone Disables Snowballs in the Gulag

The Snowball Situation

Call of Duty: Warzone disabled snowballs in the gulag due to a frustrating bug. This is another rapid response from Call of Duty: Warzone's development team, giving players hope for more prompt fixes in the future. Snowballs were added to Warzone as part of Call of Duty's recently introduced CODMAS event. This update saw the addition of holiday-themed maps, the Slay Ride Resurgence mode, new unlockable cosmetics, and more. Snowballs are often added to Call of Duty games as part of the series' annual Christmas event, and while players usually enjoy their festive nature, this time around the new item led to some frustrating outcomes in Warzone. Warzone announced that snowballs are disabled in the game's gulag arena for the foreseeable future. This was due to a frustrating issue, which saw gulag spectators able to damage players in the arena by throwing snowballs at them. As part of Warzone's CODMAS event, snowballs had replaced the throwable rocks that gulag spectators are usually equipped with. This bug was not occurring with every player, so it's not clear what was causing it. Thankfully, Warzone's development team quickly took action to remedy the issue.

Warzone's Rapid Response

Warzone's recent updates have been a promising sign for the game's fan base. It seems that the game's development team is taking a much more aggressive approach to fixing Warzone's issues. Earlier this week, Warzone disabled a broken attachment for the Lockwood shotgun only days after its overpowered nature was first discovered. This newest snowball bug was only discovered a couple of days ago as well, so it seems that this is a consistent trend for Warzone going into 2024. In October 2023, that same Lockwood shotgun attachment went unfixed for almost three weeks. This time around, when the attachment was accidentally reverted to its original state, it was quickly disabled.

Hope for the Future

Many Call of Duty fans are hopeful for the series' future. This is largely due to recent leaks surrounding future Call of Duty titles. Call of Duty 2025 is apparently a direct sequel to the popular Black Ops 2, and will feature a mixture of remastered maps and brand-new ones. According to insiders, Call of Duty 2025 was originally meant to launch with only recycled Black Ops 2 maps, but it seems that this approach has been altered following Modern Warfare 3's controversial release.
