News of the killstreak’s arrival spread quicklyfollowing the mid-season update. The biggest question mark was how to trigger it as the item couldn’t be purchased at buy stations or found while scavenging crates around Verdansk. Wild theories appears online of how to trigger the Counter-UAV including using 4 UAVs in one match or having the entire squad use the UAV at the same time. As it turns out, it was simply a bug.
For squads looking to earn a Counter-UAV, they werespending up to $16,000 in game to tryand unlock it. One of the clear signs that something was a bit off was the fact that calling in a CUAV wouldn’t trigger a message as a notification or update in the killfeed. Still, some people were more than willing to go out of their way to mess with the competition to try and unlock this CUAV bug.
Outside of the Counter UAV update, this week also resolved a number of issues surrounding the newest sniper rifle, the Rytec AMR. Whilethe explosive ammo is still a point of debatefor some in the larger community, the biggest fix this week is that the gun now awards the correct amount of XP for those using the contentious ammo type. In addition, a bug that allowed the weapon to one-hit kill with explosive ammo has also been resolved as well as the Fully Loaded perk not functioning correctly. With all of these issues addressed by Infinity Ward, it’ll be interesting to see how this gun now fits into the meta going forward.
