While this report came with the caveat that Raven had less fixed the exploit, and more made its effects less jarring –and with the glitch producing its reappearance in recent days, it looks like the programmer could have made the right call in tackling the infamous bug.

Charlie Intel reports that the infamous recurring harness has been popping up. But while it is still allegedly rather simple to pull off, Raven’s recent changes to Warzone as a whole have made the exploit far less capable of destroying matches.

Changes to the way the gas operates in Warzone Season 2 means you could no more stim yourself for wellness faster than the gas can damage you. After 40 seconds, it’ll only kill you , stim or no. It also seems that switching firearms or sprinting breaks down the impact, severely restricted its usefulness.

Stim Glitching was a persistent pain in Warzone’s side . Infinity Ward first called the difficulty solved back in October, just for it to pop up again, also again, also again. While it’s frustrating to see the same glitch time and time again, Raven’s tactic of producing the glitch itself is a smart move.

The exploit may prove impossible to solve in the long run. But making the most glaring example of its game-breaking power efficiently useless comes close moment to squashing this bug for good.
