Invisible Warzone walls are making players invincible

A new Warzone glitch is causing invisible walls, and while it's making some players invincible, it's making the games of others feel like a nightmare.

Oh dear, this one's tough to take. Out of all the excuses fans hear in Warzone - "He's hacking, she's cheating, they've got a better gaming chair" - it's rare we're convinced that it's anything other than a skill issue. But not this time.

Although we thought we'd moved past this stage, alas, cries of "they're invincible" are still ringing around Urzikstan. The latest iteration of Warzone is apparently being rocked by invincible players, and yet again, it seems a battle royale bug could be to blame. 

Warzone is being plagued by invisible walls

One Redditor has gone viral over the last 24 hours after they posted a clip of a 1v1 gunfight whilst surfing the train through Urzikstan.

The player was left stunned as they unloaded a full clip's worth of bullets into the torso of their enemy, only for them to deal no damage. In return, the OP was sent packing straight to the Gulag with a swift six shots.

The clip shows the shots being blocked by some form of invisible wall where the hitboxes haven't aligned, but it gets worse with every viewing.

According to many fans on the Subreddit, Verdansk's train often had similar bugs, which caused the hitboxes to freak out. Even though this new and controllable train adds a new dynamic to travelling around the map and scouting out action with the UAV towers, it might be time for these vehicles to be left behind.

Warzone players mocked for dying to glitches

Even when the Redditor was down on their luck, the depths of the platform always dreg up the jokers, and the sarcasm was at its usual best after this latest glitch was aired.

One fan played the cheater card, saying, "Isn’t Zero Hit Detection a feature of COD’s Anti-Cheat? No way this is internet connection related, it’s not this egregious," although the clip indicated the OP using a console.

Others used the popular Counter-Strike meme of "Shots 1-5: Clearly missed. Shots 6-9: Missed due to recoil (bad spray control). Shots 10-11: Very close, but recoil and inaccuracy make these reasonable misses. Shot 12: Likely didn't actually fire because he was already dead."

It seems like Warzone has an invisible wall glitch that's at least on the train, but there are also multiple places in Urzikstan where the hitboxes don't align, and you're left firing blanks into walls that you can't see. Yet another Warzone glitch to add to the developer's Trello board.
