Summary
The latestCall of Duty: Warzoneupdate is causing parts of the map to bend upwards in a bizarre distortion of Ashika Island. TheCall of Duty: Warzonebattle royale has been home to Al Mazrah, Verdansk, and the Pacific Caldera, but the current map has been torn apart by a new patch.
As moreCall of Dutytitles have been released since 2020,Warzonehas also received location changes. While these don’t always reflect the latest game, the currentWarzonemap fits into theModern Warfare 3theme. Beyond battle royale, players can have a similar open-world experience in thenewCall of DutyZombies, and theModern Warfare 3campaign. Though these have had their own issues,Warzonehas seen a few bugs as well. The latest patch is causing some confusion as the Ashika Island map is visually altered, making it a little harder to get around.
Reddit user Open24Seven recently shared a clip showing theirWarzonesoldier running around Ashika while being hunted. The clip begins with the player leaving a building they had seemingly looted to see parts of the map floating in the sky. As they approach this portion of the map, multiple buildings in the point of interest can be seen far above the usual playing field. The player then runs to collect items from a Loot Cache before running up to the floating parts of the map. As they get closer,theWarzonemaplocations that were elevated flicker in and out of view while the player periodically gets a glimpse of what’s supposed to be there.
What’s Going on With the Call of Duty: Warzone Map?
In this video, Open24Seven is seen near sections of the map that aren’t supposed to be there. While they appear to be playing on Ashika, the problematic portions of the map resemble Verdansk or Al Mazrah. MultipleCall of Dutyfans have noted that this particular bug has been occasionally happening sinceWarzoneSeason 1began. According to some players, this only happens in games with high latency, which may suggest that the Reddit user was experiencing lag on their end or the server side.
AsWarzoneis a competitive game, a distracting bug like this could cost Open24Seven a victory. Because Infinity Ward and Raven Softwarecontinue to updateCall of Duty: Warzone, a future patch may fix this problem. Given that players have been encountering some form of this bug since the beginning of Season 1, it may be something that the developers are already aware of.
