Strange Warzone glitch lets spectators ruin Gulag matches

After getting killed in Warzone, you can get a second life by coming out vicotrious in the Gulag, but players are reporting a new glitch that lets spectators interfere in your deathmatch.

Warzone Pacific Season 1 brought a ton of exciting new content to the battle royale title, including the new Caldera map. A new Gulag was also added for players to battle in after death.

Eliminated players can be redeployed if they win in the Gulag. However, a new glitch is making things more difficult by letting spectators run out into the battlefield and ruin matches for everyone.

Reddit user ‘colemanni’ highlighted this bizarre glitch in the CoD: Warzone subreddit. The clip they posted showcased a bystander suddenly running on top of the barriers in the middle of the Gulag.

The Redditor assumed this was his Gulag opponent and began firing at them. However, this wasn’t his real enemy, who then showed up and eliminated the player while they were distracted by the intruder.

One commenter pointed out that this glitch can happen at anytime during the Gulag, writing: “Apparently, you have to hop on the barrel and then crouch on the fence in order to get there.”

If the trick really is as easy as crouching on a barrel to get into the battlefield then it can be replicated. This can cause serious problems for players in the Gulag who might get confused by the spectator.

Firing at this bystander will give away your location to your actual opponent, so this can put players at a serious disadvantage, and Raven Software will need to implement a fix for the glitch soon.
