Call of Duty: Modern Warfare developer Infinity Ward has responded to a strange Tactical Insertion glitch that teleports players to their deaths beyond the confines of the map.
U/radi115 shared a video entitled “Tac inserts are bugged” that has since been upvoted over 1,300 times in order to flag the attention of the developer. After using the tac insertion, it shows the player spawning continually outside in the restricted area. Every five seconds they die, then respawn out of bounds again.
Some Reddit users posit the issue is caused because the player placed the Tac Insert near a vehicle, but others who’ve experienced the same bug insist it can happen even if you do it in an open area, too.
“Thanks for this,” responded multiplayer director Joe Cecot on behalf of Infinity Ward earlier today. “We have never seen this in-house. We’ll get a fix in soon.”
In other Modern Warfare news, Activision recently laid-out its post-launch plans for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, pledging that it will be monetising the game through a Battle Pass system and in-game store, rather than through the loot boxes seen in previous titles.
