Call of Duty: Warzone fans are puzzled as a new bug makes an appearance and apparently is handing out free wins to competing players.

Since its initial launch, Call of Duty: Warzone has patched countless bugs in an effort to improve with every season. Although some bugs, like the infinite stim glitch, often reappear, others can manifest spontaneously throughout a match. A new Call of Duty: Warzone bug has appeared, and it seems to be giving away free wins.

While normally it takes intense encounters, firefights, tactical maneuvering, and survival skills to earn a victory, this new bug doesn't follow those rules. Call of Duty: Warzone fans are being met with confusing messages as they spawn into their routine matches of battle royale action. While the bug is not exactly harmful, it does circumvent many aspects of the game that players are looking forward to.

In a clip posted by Reddit user gencaykurtt, the player managed to trigger this bizarre Call of Duty: Warzone bug. The clip begins with a standard drop and his team pinging their vote for location. As the group decides on a spot, the player jumps down and begins his standard descent. Suddenly, the game prompts an immediate victory screen for the entire squad. This means that the player managed to win the match without ever touching the ground, and it seems like the lobby was not exactly happy about that situation.

While the cause of this bizarre bug is unknown, players in the comments suggest that this has happened before. Call of Duty: Warzone players speculate that either the server hit a massive lag spike, or the game found some error within its files. In the comments, the player does confirm that the entire lobby received a win despite the fact that they were busy raging at the rapid ending of their match.

Although the players could not provide proof of other instances, the community is fairly certain that this is a rare bug. When checking player win records, fans have stated that the game does not actually award a win. Rather, the Call of Duty: Warzone match simply quits and presents a winning page for all those affected.

As far as Call of Duty: Warzone bugs go, this is one that is fairly harmless. There are countless other bugs present in the game that can affect match outcomes and ruin the game experience. This bug only affects the beginning of a match and rewards a win rather than just crashing out the title. While a bug is still a problem within the game, fans are relieved that this one is not more dangerous than just an occasional game win.

Call of Duty: Warzone is available on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S.
