Summary
- Bunker Buster disabled due to bug exploits, impacting Warzone gameplay until resolved.
- Warzone serves as a link between Call of Duty games, with updates and connections.
- Reactions vary over disabling Bunker Buster, some call for rework, others praise developers.
Developers have disabled the Bunker Buster, a popular killstreak in Call of Duty: Warzone, after reports of bugs affecting it and its acquisition emerged from the player community and via social media. Until the glitch is investigated and resolved, Call of Duty: Warzone players won't be able to access the Bunker Buster and its associated effects.
As a free-to-play live service game that exists alongside multiple Call of Duty installments, Call of Duty: Warzone is slowly becoming something of a connecting thread between the regular paid Call of Duty games. Upcoming mainline titles like Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 can also affect Warzone in various ways, like introducing new Warzone maps and adding new mechanics, weapons, and killstreaks.
Call of Duty Update Adds New Bundle Based on The Crow
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone Season 5 Reloaded introduces a new operator bundle based on the new The Crow movie.
The popular Bunker Buster Call of Duty: Warzone killstreak, however, appears to be suffering from glitches that allow players to exploit it to gain an unfair advantage. Via the official CODUpdates Twitter account, developer Raven Software announced that the killstreak is temporarily disabled while it investigates the issue.
Call of Duty: Warzone Bunker Buster Bug Allows Infinite Duplication
Though Raven did not specify what the issue was in its announcement, player reports on social media and within Warzone communities indicate that the bug affecting the Bunker Buster allowed players to duplicate the device that calls in the killstreak, giving them access to "insane" numbers of Bunker Busters to use on their foes. The Bunker Buster was first introduced as part of the Call of Duty: Warzone and Modern Warfare 3 Season 2 Reloaded update in March 2024.
The Bunker Buster is a popular Warzone killstreak because it can be used to clear enemies out of a building. Called in like a mortar or artillery strike, the Bunker Buster can penetrate a building and distribute a deadly gas on multiple floors, flushing out players hiding inside. The only players that can withstand the Bunker Buster's effect are those taking advantage of a Warzone gas mask or similar protective equipment.
Reaction to the disabling of the Bunker Buster ranged from praise for the developers for acting quickly to those expressing frustration at the continued presence of such bugs. Others lamented the temporary loss of a beloved "anti-camper" tool. Some who disliked the Bunker Buster suggested permanently disabling the killstreak, or reworking it to lower the duration of its gas effect. Some players also reported that the duplication glitch affects not just the Bunker Buster but all killstreak devices, though as of this writing, Raven Software has not yet acknowledged if this is the case.
