Call of Duty: Warzone was developed by Infinity Ward and Raven Software, and was published by Activision in early 2020 as a free-to-play battle royale title. The game supports between 150 and 200 players, depending on the game mode, and had over 100 million players in 2021 according to Activision. Call of Duty: Warzone was well received upon release, even being nominated for Best Multiplayer and Best Ongoing at The Game Awards 2020.
However, Call of Duty: Warzone players are reporting a new gameplay-breaking bug that is ruining online matches. This latest glitch is one of a few problems to afflict the game this past week, which has been plagued by some serious bugs since December. This latest problem has been causing invisible gas clouds, in what Call of Duty: Warzone fans are describing as an "absurd" bug.

In a post to the Warzone community on Reddit, user mario135790 shared a video of the bug, which appeared to show invisible gas clouds causing player damage. Typically, gas clouds appear as a distinct, green haze, allowing players to identify the threat. In this case, not only are the gas clouds not visible, but the damage radius appears to be glitching too, affecting players even when they aren't near the shrinking gas circle. Other players posted evidence of the same issue, which seems to happen randomly and without obvious cause, potentially spoiling online matches. The issue seems to particularly affect the Plunder mode in Call of Duty: Warzone; some fans initially suspected hacking was involved, while other reports suggest it could be linked to players using Stopping Power rounds.
