TheBlack Ops Cold Waralpha has been interesting, to say the least, with mixed player reactions to different aspects of the game. One weird moment in the alpha was captured by a proCall of Dutyplayer, and showcases one of the first majorBlack Ops Cold Warglitches.
While playing Kill Confirmed, one of the fivemodes in theBlack Ops Cold Waralpha, professionalCall of DutyPlayer Justin Fargo-Palmer encounters a glitch that grants him an extra weapon slot. Fargo-Palmer switches between his assault rifle, SMG, and a pistol to show off that he is somehow carrying three different weapons at the same time. The specific guns were the XM4, Type 821, and Diamatti.

The pro player switches through the weapons in the hotel lobby of theBlack Ops Cold Warmap Miami, utterly confused by how he is holding three weapons at the same time. He says “I’m very confused… how do I carry three guns” within the clip, and he seems just as surprised by the moment as any other player would be. How the glitch occurred is anyone’s guess, though it is certainly interesting.
The bug is reminiscent of theCall of Duty Zombiesperk Mule Kick, which sees players hold three guns intentionally as opposed to being forced to due to a bug. Funnily enough, the perk was actually created due to a three-gun glitch on some of the originalWorld at WarZombies maps, so perhaps this glitch could be the origin of a three-gun perk inBlack Ops Cold Warmultiplayer. Even if it is not, fans may see Mule Kick return inBlack Ops Cold War’s version of Zombiesdue to the discovery of one of the classic perk jingles in the teaser for the mode.
It is also worth noting that the version of the glitch that happened to Justin Fargo-Palmer is a less severe case, as a player named Keith Pecora showed off a scenario where he was holding four different weapons at the same time. This also occurred on Miami, so perhaps the glitch’s source is the neon-filled multiplayer map. Regardless, the glitch could be deadly in the hands of a skilled player, as switching quickly from one ofBlack Ops Cold War’s intentionally overpowered snipersto an SMG to an assault rifle can make someone good become unstoppable.
This is an interesting bug but given that this is only an alpha forBlack Ops Cold War, it will likely be fixed by the Treyarch team quickly. Players should be back to only holding two weapons by the time they are playing the game again during theOctober 8 beta forBlack Ops Cold War.
Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold Warwill be available November 13, on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X versions will also be available.
