With several bugs and glitches plaguing several Warzone matches and the somewhat questionable handling of the controversial DMR 14 nerf, players are continuing to express their frustrations surrounding the popular battle royale game.

Just when players thought the long-standing invisibility glitch and the now infamous stim glitch had been removed from the game; another infuriating bug has been found.

This time around, players have began freezing when interacting with a Loadout Drop.

This isn’t the first time that Loadout Drops have been the main cause of a bug within Warzone.

How To Fix Loadout Freeze Bug

Reddit user '88GetBent88' may have found a solution to this particularly annoying bug.

To stop freezing when accessing the Loadout Drop, simply follow these steps.

1. At the beginning of a match, wait for the plane to start flying over the map.
2. Access the in-game 'Options' menu and wait for any lag to subside.
3. Exit the options menu once it has loaded.
4. The issue should be fixed!

As of writing, (January 20th) there is no workaround to avoid this particular glitch.

With the issue leaving players unable to select their loadout and with no chance of contesting a gunfight against an opponent, it is highly likely that Raven Software will be working hard to implement a fix to ensure the issue doesn’t happen again.

Until the glitch has been patched, it may be best to avoid Loadout Drops entirely to avoid freezing.
