Since the game's launch, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare has experience dozens of strange and interesting bugs. In the last few weeks, fans have noticed a surge of issues from the 2019 title and are reporting them en masse. One particularly problematic bug was spotted during this that causes Call of Duty: Modern Warfare weapons to disappear.
Vanishing models is not a new thing for the franchise, but normally the weapons show up after a few seconds. Players are now finding that entire games are ruined due to guns not appearing after spawn. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare fans are frustrated with this glitch, and are calling for an immediate fix from the developers.

As demonstrated in a post by ArsonistAlpaca, the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare bug was reported to the development team. In the image, players can see a split-screen match, but on both players' screens, the weapons are gone. Fans in the comments have shared similar incidents happening in multiplayer games, making this a frustrating problem for the game's community. Fans have tried respawning and reloading the title, but the glitch continues to make an appearance. On the bright side, weapons still fire as normal, but the entire model being invisible makes aiming a difficult challenge.
Fans in the comment point out that this problem has mainly been affecting custom loadouts. Players who use the default loadouts will see the weapon's model show up, suggesting something is going wrong with the game's model recall system. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare has several popular weapons that can only be accessed through custom loadouts, making this a frustrating problem for the fans.
Due to Call of Duty: Warzone not being heavily connected to Modern Warfare anymore, the game remains unaffected. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare weapons are still fully usable in Call of Duty: Warzone despite this problem. That being said, fans have noticed a similar issue during the initial spawn, but it is quickly resolved after players swap weapons a few times in the battle royale.
Many fans believe that the bug was caused by the influx of updates in Call of Duty: Warzone Season 3, as the issue did not appear prior to this patch. The Call of Duty: Warzone Season 3 updates have been blamed for an assortment of issues, and many fans are waiting for fixes to almost every game mode in several titles.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is available on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
