The underbarrel launcher attachments in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone have been disabled because of a troublesome exploit that allows players to misuse them. Recent updates in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 indicate that the developers are working to resolve this issue promptly.

On February 23, Call of Duty experienced disruptions where players couldn't advance their accounts. Matchmaking based on skill was briefly turned off, and game modes like Zombies and Ranked Play were offline. Fortunately, within a day, these significant issues were fixed, bringing the game back to normal. Fans of Call of Duty are optimistic for a quick resolution to the latest problem.

During the past few weeks, a new exploit has spread across Call of Duty, allowing users to unleash a continuous stream of semi-automatic grenades from the underbarrel launcher attachment. This exploit has gained popularity recently, affecting more users. In response, the official CODUpdates Twitter account announced the temporary deactivation of underbarrel launcher attachments while the developers investigate. Fans are hopeful for a speedy resolution within the next day. A video shared by Call of Duty streamer Fifakill_ on Twitter displayed the impact of the exploit with relentless grenade launcher attacks.

Call of Duty Takes Action Against Exploitative Attachment

Although players would have preferred an earlier fix for this longstanding glitch, any progress is welcomed. The exploit seems to be an in-game issue rather than a new cheating tool, so recent anti-cheat upgrades may not have a direct impact here.

Cheating is an ongoing challenge in Call of Duty, as is the case with many popular first-person shooters. Recent titles have made it harder for console players to opt-out of crossplay, leading to more encounters with PC players and potential cheaters.

To combat cheating, Call of Duty has introduced various measures through its anti-cheat system, including the amusing 'Splat' function that cuts off a cheater's parachute in Warzone upon detection of cheats. Despite these efforts to enhance security, cheating remains a prevalent issue in Call of Duty and may continue to pose challenges in the future.
