Original story (published on May 11, 2022) follows:
Call of Duty Warzone is one of the few free-to-play games in the decades-old franchise. Developed by Raven Software and published by Activision, it is one of the few games that supports cross-platform progression.
While critics have praised the game, issues such as the broken Breath of Godzilla STG blueprint and the game launching in Windowed mode after the Season Two Reloaded update have ruined the gameplay experience for many in the last few months.
Using Stopping Power opens Loadout Selection
That said, Call of Duty Warzone players are now reporting that the loadout selection screen opens up whenever they use the Stopping power ammunition (1,2,3,4,5). This is making it impossible for many to fire.
Thankfully, Warzone developers have acknowledged the issue where using Stopping Power opens up the Loadout Selection screen and said it is currently under investigation. However, there is no ETA on when the issue will be fixed.
In the meantime, we came across a workaround that might help mitigate the problem. It involves firing a few bullets as soon as you load the gun with Stopping Power ammo. You can watch the video below to see how it works.
Using Stopping Power ammo causes lag
And as if this wasn’t enough, using stopping power seems to cause lag spikes as well.
Thankfully, the developers have acknowledged the issue and said it is currently under investigation. But there is no timeframe of when it will be fixed.
