Modern Warfare December 11 Update – Bug Fixes And More

Infinity Ward has released a new in-game patch update for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.

The new update is an in-game patch, so the in-game settings will be updated to download the new updates. This is not a new title update.

Infinity Ward has shared the patch notes on Reddit, which details updates to weapons not appearing correctly in-game, bug fixes across the board in challenges and and more.

GENERAL FIXES:

  • Fix for the R9-0 Smoothebore not appearing correctly in-game
  • Fix for the “Smooth Dominator” not appearing correctly in-game
  • Fix for the “Heat Cycle” weapon not appearing correctly in-game
  • Fix for a bug where equipping the “Old Wounds” LMG could cause an error, kicking players out of the menu
  • Operator challenge descriptions have been updated to indicate that a specific Operator must be equipped in order to complete the challenge
  • If you reached a new rank while in the middle of a match and perform the criteria to complete a challenge you just unlocked, progress would not show in the UI until you entered a new match. We’ve done some backend work to help improve this.
  • Fix for Objective 2 of Mara’s Operator Mission showing a placeholder name ‘Desert Work’ for the reward
  • Fix for Wyatt’s Calling Card appearing with the incorrect rarity
  • Fix for the Cluster Strike’s missiles getting stuck on surfaces without detonating and playing looping audio the remainder of the match
  • Fix for exploits in Special Operations: Survival
