Call of Duty: Modern Warfarerecently released a major update that added the crossbow weapon to the game, gave players five more loadout slots, and changed up the playlists. Unfortunately, the recentModern Warfareupdate has also caused a major unforeseen problem, resetting stats for some players. As of the time of this writing, fans of the popular first-person shooter franchise are still waiting for a fix.
It’s unclear exactly when a fix for theMWstat reset bugwill be released, but Infinity Ward is “actively working” on a fix. Those impacted by the bug should note that they can keep playingModern Warfareas usual, but that there’s a chance that their stats will reset to what they were prior to downloading the update. Infinity Ward has promised that it will release another update on the matter as soon as it has more information.

In the meantime,Modern Warfarefans should know that while the bug has impacted their stats, it doesn’t actually do anything to their progression. This means that players retain their rank, XP they’ve earned, theirBattle Pass tiers, weapon progression, and more. So while some may still be upset that their stats are off, at least they don’t have to restart the game in any significant way.
No timetable has been released in regards to when theModern Warfarestat reset bug may be fixed. However, there are some big updates on the horizon for the game, and it’s possible that the bug fix will be combined with one of them. For example,Modern WarfareSeason Oneis ending in a few weeks, and Season Two is expected to follow not long after. It’s expected that Season Two will be a sizable content drop, and one has to imagine that it will include at least some bug fixes, if not the stat reset bug fix.
As for what elseModern WarfareSeason Two may entail, that remains to be seen. Rumors and leaks have long suggested that there aremore classicCall of Dutymapson the way for the game, and it’s quite possible that some of these maps will be added in theModern WarfareSeason Two update. Fans will just have to wait for next month to find out more.
