Out of all the threats in Warzone (nuclear chemical gas agents, rocket launchers, mortar strikes, death-riding trains, and your bog standard apache helicopters), who knew that the most infuriating and deathly element of Urzikstan would be its goddamn window ledges?

In the fourth main map in Warzone, Urzikstan serves as quite an apple throwback to times gone by, reverting the playstyle to how we remember it during Verdansk,

But amid all of the praise for the map, players are continuing to get stuck on simple features like sills and ledges, and now Warzone players are demanding a fix to windows and mantling for the sake of their sanity.

Warzone players call on devs to fix windows

With some rather important dates lined up for Warzone (Season 1 Reloaded and Season 2 updates both coming in the next few weeks), players have begun making their belated Christmas wishes about what needs to be improved.

But one major issue as of late is windows, specifically the mechanics of climbing through them to escape buildings. 

Multiple players have taken to Twitter over the last few days to plead for fixes after attaching videos of them dying to gunfire whilst failing to climb through a window.

One player, named SuperNivon, posted a video where they found one player failing to mantle through a window, killing them, only for the same thing to happen to themselves, getting caught on the ledge and being sent to the redeployment screen as a result of it.

"Raven please fix jumping through windows and melee," they said.

Popular Warzone mogul James "JGOD" Godoy also prodded a joke at this broken feature, laughing at SuperNivion's clip by saying, "Obviously, it needs to be fixed, but it's kinda hilarious that the guy they are chasing is running into the same problem they are having". 

Other fans joked that it's all in the Operator's hands. One hinted at this being a Kevin Durant skin saying, "I don’t get it, we’re all NBA players," while others blamed the sliders for gaining pounds over Christmas, adding, "All our Operators got too fat for windows over the holidays."

With the major updates rolling out soon, hopefully, this problem will be fixed and we can all go back to being master burglars, breaking into houses with ease.
