Several COD Modern Warfare players are running into issues with the split-screen multiplayer mode. Complaints state that the gun keeps disappearing or becomes invisible randomly during gameplay.
It seems to affect only one of the players during 2-player split-screen at a time and occurs when switching guns and loadouts. And no, the issue isn’t limited to 1 or 2 guns as players have observed that all weapons are affected.
The issue reportedly persists with kill highlights and even throwables like grenades. Some have also reported that the reticle/crosshair fails to show too.
Since only the split-screen mode is affected, one can easily tell the platforms that are affected. Yep, the invisible gun glitch is plaguing COD Modern Warfare on both Xbox and PlayStation.
Judging by reports, the issue has been doing rounds for around a month now but there hasn’t been any sign of an official acknowledgment to date.
The “Known Issues in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare” page does have a few bugs listed but there is still no sign of the invisible gun glitch.
Therefore, players are advised to make Activision aware of the bug through by reporting it through the feedback channel. To do so, head here.
And as you wait for an official fix for the invisible gun glitch on COD Modern Warfare, we have cherry-picked a list of user-suggested workarounds that may be of help:
- Make both players have the same loadouts: As long as the guns are the same, the attachments and camos can be different whilst also eliminating the bug.
Workarounds for invisible gun glitch on COD Modern Warfare split-screen
- Favorite loadouts: Make the previously mentioned loadouts the “favorite” loadout on each player. These should be the guns you see yourself with in the lobby.
The Redditor advised playing more than one match consecutively using both of the workarounds. It appears that the loadouts stay after the first match if they aren’t switched.
