A bug in Call of Duty: Warzone 2 frustrates Battle Royale players because they are supposed to buy Modern Warfare 2 in order to be able to gamble.

What is this bug? As some Warzone 2 players report on reddit, they cannot play shooter matches due to a bug. When attempting to join a new round, they are said to have received a message prompting them to purchase Modern Warfare 2.

As a free-to-play title, CoD Warzone 2 can be played for free independently of MW2.

In the post, the player reports that he was able to play about 6 matches before the error first appeared. The bug is said to have prevented him from continuing to play.

Workaround should help

Is there a fix for the bug? There is currently no patch from the developers that fixes the error. However, the online magazine Dexerto reports a workaround that is said to have worked for some players:

  • If you are playing with friends, the error can be avoided by inviting a person to the lobby who does not have the error.
  • This workaround obviously doesn’t work for solo players. They can only try to help themselves by restarting the game, the PC/console or the internet connection. You should also make sure that you have the latest version of Warzone 2 installed.
