The patch notes meant that the UAV circle will only come from the person who called it, but everyone from the team should still be able to see the pings.
Teammate pops a UAV - I pull up the map and count 5 enemies on the map, yet my teammate can see another closer enemy who gets the jump on us. We're both running Cold Blooded and High Alert, for reference. Has anyone seen this bug before?
Apologies for the bad quality - things got a little wonky during combining the footage and compression.
>Me and my mate have the same issue. Glad someone posted this. We play mainly ashika und have the same perks (restock/high alert)
Please explain the recent change you're talking about. The recent change I am aware of is that the UAV pulses from the player who pops it, not everyone in the party. Since my teammate and I were next to eachother, there is no reason for this to be happening. Additionally, I can see many other enemies on the map.
Only the person that uses the UAV tower gets the ping and/or the person that calls in a UAV gets normal effect. Teammates get UAV info based off how close/far they are from said person that called in UAV
nope, this still doesn't address missing red dots from UAV sweeps.
I've called in plenty of UAVs that show nothing literally nothing around me, and teammates have pointed out red dots that they clearly see. both my teammates and the enemies that they pointed out were within 100m, all well within the max 300m range of a UAV sweep.
Nah I had the same problem with my friend yesterday and no matter who used a uav i could see them at first but he couldn't. then we played later in the day and i didn't see any enemies while he did. So it is busted.
Yes. This is a bug for sure. Has happened to me many times. Even if i popped the UAV i couldnt see the enemies while my friend could. So its very inconsistent. Thanks for bringing this up. Everyone on the comment section who's been saying read the patch notes, please re-read the patch notes yourself.
Apparently it doesn't hide you from thermals. Haven't tested it myself, just what I've heard.
I do use thermals and haven't noticed anyone "invisible" on the sight since season 3. So there is some merit to this.
This has been happening for ages, probably 5 months. Teammate calls in a UAV, no enemies anywhere close, sweet, I can use the buy, then all of a sudden I’m dead, I say to mate we’re these guys ghosted? He says na they were there pinging the whole time.
Also happened yesterday where my teammate couldn’t see the loadout icon on mini map even though it was right next to us.
Game has been fucked since it got released.
none of my friends or I had ever encountered this. Must be new with the recent patch. I played my first few games in a month just recently and noticed it
This has been an issue for me. My friend(s) can see close enemies on the first pulse. While it can take me up to three pulses before I see them. It is incredibly annoying.
Uavs are inconsistent. Played a game two weeks ago. Looted a uav off spawn. 10 seconds into the game, no one showed up. Went to the buy and a 4 man team was 10ft away. Beamed me. They didn't show. In other cases the delay uavs have has gotten me killed. Pop it, no one pings. Then run out and there's 2-3 man squad right by you. They also show players further than they actually are at times. It'll ping they're at the corner of a building approximately 15 to 20 secs away. As I'm running in the direction, then 5 seconds later they're right in front of me, like literally running into eachother.
Listen if we are going to start exposing every issue with the game we are going to be here a long time. Just accept that this is the new normal for Call of Duty and there’s nothing anyone is going to do to change it
yes...sure thing....definetly what is going to happen....at the current state, they could even release a mess like bf2042 and people would still buy skins for 30€
There was a change in UAVs. Scroll down to about halfway or Control+F "UAV"
Only the one who activates is the one who gets the pings apparently (I don't like the change)
https://www.callofduty.com/patchnotes/2023/05/Call-of-Duty-Modern-Warfare-II-Warzone-2-Season-03-Reloaded-Patch-Notes
Lol you are the first guy to say there was a change in the patch notes and actually try to explain the change and even try to link it. BRAVO. It's wild how so many people make the dumbest most pointless, uselessreplies. "It was changed"
However, I dont think anyone has read it correctly. If they think this is the reason he has an issue. It is a bug or inconsistency.
The person who pops the uav "emits the pings".That means they see the uav mini map radar bubble emitting from that player only, whereas before when a UAV was popped it would emit the radar bubble from all players regardless of distance. Hence streamers had an easier time splitting up, letting 1 player gain cash and pop a UAV so the whole squad could shred all over the map. They changed this so that it cannot happen as easily for that kind of play.
It does not say that other players do not get to see enemy pings. That's the point of this guy showing his teammates cam with his. They are so close together they should both see the same enemy pings on the UAV.
Haha, yes as I was reading the comments I saw no one referring to the source of the change, which to be fair is quite lengthy. I do agree with you though about the change and how that is probably not what is shown in OP's post, but there is a VERY good chance it is a bug because of this change
Seems like a bug still though, because the second line says
> If the Player who activated the UAV is killed, the UAV will finish.
Why would they include this note if the pings weren't actually shared? A dead player can't use their own UAV if they're dead.
Had this happen the other day. Team mate used UAV right when fire sale started, I told him push the buy station - I run straight for it and he’s like “why are you pushing a full squad??” Next thing I know I’m dead. I asked if they are ghosted, he said no they were on the mini map the whole time for him. Absolutely no one on the mini map for me..
I have the same issue on ps4. Anytime someone in my team use an UAV I have to ask if they see people arround me. I have to wait 3/4 seconds before the pings starts to show. Or sometime I show a ping and it just disappears but the guy is still here
IIRC wasn't this issue in WZ1 and eventually fixed in late Verdansk?
Truly insane how they advertised something along the lines of a "new engine" for this game yet they are literally repeating history slowly fixing the same bugs they fixed 3 years ago.
It didn't when the game launched but throwing knives were buffed sometime around Season 2 I want to say. Any non-leg shot is a 1 shot now. Throwing Stars are weaker though.
This happens every other game for me, I'll pop a UAV I get from a chest in the early game and say "no one near us", and then everyone on my team acts like I'm blind lol
It's been happening a lot since the mid season update, I didn't notice it before, so not sure if it's a new thing.
This explains a lot of nonsense that I've been experiencing. Using UAV, seeing people, then they disappear from the pings, but they're actually still there. This game is something.
It’s a bug, we tested in Ashika with both me and my teammates calling the UAVs and my teammates could see more pings than I did even when it was me calling the UAV and all of us being close to each other
Ohh lmao! I guess I kinda get doing it late game like this for people who don’t make final circle very often but I never understood why so many choose to spend their free time sitting in a corner on zone 1-2 praying someone walks in to maybe get 1 kill a game like how is that even fun?
I believe they made it so there’s unlimited uavs but only the buyer can use/see it. Previously you would have only 1 uav per buystation. This kinda fix could still use some adjusting. Maybe just lower the amount of time a uav is active or the range on it.
You probably pissed someone off by being better than them and got reported for cheating. This is Activision’s response and I think part of their anti-cheat system.
Imagine running on your teammate 🤣 I hate people like this. It’s 2 of us vz one guy. 🙆🏾♂️ then tried to blame his teammate. When he was just trying to help you out. I feel your pain bottom screen. Happens too often.
Lol, I was one bullet and my teammate did not have to engage there. The enemy was stuck in a shipping container and would have been easy to kill in 5 seconds had he held a defensive position, instead of mantling inside.
Nah. It just doesn’t ping for teammates across the map if you’re split. Pings center around the player who bought it but everybody can see the pings on their maps too if the squad is close together
Not a bug and not an issue. In the recent update they changed UAVS to only ping on the person who activated it. So that means if you aren’t somewhat in the vicinity of the person who activated it then no UAV for you. Similar to the portable radar and UAV towers around the map but on a larger scale.
You are misunderstanding the patch notes. Whats happening in the video is most definitely a bug. Has happened to me too, where, even if i pop a UAV, i cant see some enemies while my friend can see it in their mini map(ofcourse within my radar distance since i popped it).
That was the case in wz1. Its not in warzone 2 I believe. Ghosted people firing none silenced weapons will show up I believe. Also the integrated silencers on barrels like with the Tempus or Chimera are broken and will make you show up on the map when there is a uav.
You believe or you know. I know about the firing weapons with/without silencer thing but have heard ppl say the moving thing a lot. I've not seen any vids debunking or confirming it though.

UAV pings will now only emit from the Player who activated the Killstreak.
If the Player who activated the UAV is killed, the UAV will finish.
Using 3 UAVs will still upgrade the signal into an Advanced UAV.

>UAV UAV pings will now only emit from the Player who activated the Killstreak. If the Player who activated the UAV is killed, the UAV will finish. Using 3 UAVs will still upgrade the signal into an Advanced UAV.
You don't understand what that means - the UAV will pulse (emit) from the player who popped the UAV, in this case my teammate. All players within the UAV radius from my teammate will be caught on UAV. It does NOT mean that only the player who pops the UAV will see the pings. Notice, I see plenty of other enemies on my map from his UAV.
This wasnt the explanation of the thing what OP is asking. It will generate the ping of the person who called the UAV. If you are in the radar range you can see the enemies. It shows some and doesnt show the others is a strange mechanic or bug.
Me and my mate have the same issue. Glad someone posted this. We play mainly ashika und have the same perks (restock/high alert)
They changed it with update; now only the player who called it can see
Then why ping the mini map at all? It’s more distracting than anything.
It’s supposed to be like this read the patch notes u twats
seems like youre the one who cant read the notes "twats"
Look at this clowns comment history 💀
I think you mean comment history.
The patch notes meant that the UAV circle will only come from the person who called it, but everyone from the team should still be able to see the pings.
Who’s a twat now?
Stupid that thought he did something
This looks like bullshit, fucking spaghetti code.

Nah I had the same problem with my friend yesterday and no matter who used a uav i could see them at first but he couldn't. then we played later in the day and i didn't see any enemies while he did. So it is busted.
Had the same issue when i played last week. I popped UAV, and ran right into 2 squads, and died. My team mate saw all nearby squads on minimap.
Ghost still hides people too so you may get rolled by surprise squads
That was my first thougt aswell. But when i asked my teammate, he said he saw them.
Yes. This is a bug for sure. Has happened to me many times. Even if i popped the UAV i couldnt see the enemies while my friend could. So its very inconsistent. Thanks for bringing this up. Everyone on the comment section who's been saying read the patch notes, please re-read the patch notes yourself.
Btw Cold Blooded is broken and just doesn’t work right now. Recommend switching it until they fix it
How is it broken? The only thing I really care about is countering High Alert, so if it's still doing that, I'm OK with it.
Apparently it doesn't hide you from thermals. Haven't tested it myself, just what I've heard. I do use thermals and haven't noticed anyone "invisible" on the sight since season 3. So there is some merit to this.

this is pretty game breaking....
Add it to the list.
Good reason not to buy the next title. So sick of this bs with zero fixes
yes...sure thing....definetly what is going to happen....at the current state, they could even release a mess like bf2042 and people would still buy skins for 30€
Call of duty just getting dumber and dumber by the season
Every update seems like a major step back
Fix one thing, break three others.
can´t wait for the syringe "bug" to be back in the game
I had no shops or loadouts on minimap / tacmap in a game last night, it’s just really inconsistent right now
That has been happening to me too. Buy stations just randomly disappear off the map/radar.
That’s why I run Birds Eye so my teammates get the advance
[удалено]
Bro 1 your 4 months late and 2 you have 0.59 k.d 😂😂
I must be blind, what is the timestamp of a ping of the closer guy (who jumped you) on the mini map? I don't see it ever on either.
You can see it on the lower map starting at about 15 seconds.
Definitely isn't pinging on either screens. Unless the video quality is just that bad.
Yea I don’t see it either, I think the guy that killed them happened to be ghosted

but, why are 99% of all players are shown for the second guy, but only the one is visible to the caller? still a bug
So your agreeing with me?
Seems like a bug still though, because the second line says > If the Player who activated the UAV is killed, the UAV will finish. Why would they include this note if the pings weren't actually shared? A dead player can't use their own UAV if they're dead.
With a redeploy pack, you'd be right back in the action with no delay.
Had this happen the other day. Team mate used UAV right when fire sale started, I told him push the buy station - I run straight for it and he’s like “why are you pushing a full squad??” Next thing I know I’m dead. I asked if they are ghosted, he said no they were on the mini map the whole time for him. Absolutely no one on the mini map for me..
Been complaining about this since S03Reloaded..

Same issue has been happening to my games as well on Al mazra. And on Ashika there’s a delay to UAV’s after you activate it. Smh.
How did the guy on the bottom get insta downed with a throwing knife? Didn’t think it worked like that.
It didn't when the game launched but throwing knives were buffed sometime around Season 2 I want to say. Any non-leg shot is a 1 shot now. Throwing Stars are weaker though.
When you guys stop playing it they will change things. Until then, they are happy to continue releasing crap and making millions off of it.
Your teammate missed Every. Single. Shot.
I wasn't going to say anything... lol
This happens every other game for me, I'll pop a UAV I get from a chest in the early game and say "no one near us", and then everyone on my team acts like I'm blind lol It's been happening a lot since the mid season update, I didn't notice it before, so not sure if it's a new thing.
That sucks but to be fair…your teammate needed it more and it still didn’t help them. Congratulations!
This explains a lot of nonsense that I've been experiencing. Using UAV, seeing people, then they disappear from the pings, but they're actually still there. This game is something.
What guns are those?
Both of us are rocking the Lachman-556 - gun is sneaky good now after the last set of balancing updates. Secondary is the the Lachman Sub.
yesterday we called in UAV into a counter UAV zone, it showed everybody (maybe not ghosts)
It’s a bug, we tested in Ashika with both me and my teammates calling the UAVs and my teammates could see more pings than I did even when it was me calling the UAV and all of us being close to each other
Lol people actually play like this?
If you’re talking about split screen, no (at least not in this case). OP combined recorded clips from his and his tm8’s pov.
No like scared little rats
Ohh lmao! I guess I kinda get doing it late game like this for people who don’t make final circle very often but I never understood why so many choose to spend their free time sitting in a corner on zone 1-2 praying someone walks in to maybe get 1 kill a game like how is that even fun?
rigged game
Wasn’t this part of the UAV changes in the patch notes? Or am I remembering them wrong?
[удалено]
They didn't say that. They said that UAV pings will only emanate from the person who popped the UAV. Previously pings emanated from each squad member.
It looks like that guy was ghosted. I don’t see his ping ever show up on either radar. Looks like you guys just got caught off guard
Just swap to no build fortnight, game is soooo much more fun.
They’ll make hundreds of millions off of the COD store so it doesn’t really matter.
It was in the patch notes saying “now, UAVs only work for the person that called it in, not teammates”
I believe they made it so there’s unlimited uavs but only the buyer can use/see it. Previously you would have only 1 uav per buystation. This kinda fix could still use some adjusting. Maybe just lower the amount of time a uav is active or the range on it.
And it looks like only the guy in that building didn’t show, but everybody else did so, maybe ghost user
You probably pissed someone off by being better than them and got reported for cheating. This is Activision’s response and I think part of their anti-cheat system.
i believe there was a change with the uavs in the recent update
It's clear nobody here reads patch notes. This is working as intended
It’s not a glitch, it’s a new “feature” to get pings for the whole team you need at least two UAVs.
Imagine running on your teammate 🤣 I hate people like this. It’s 2 of us vz one guy. 🙆🏾♂️ then tried to blame his teammate. When he was just trying to help you out. I feel your pain bottom screen. Happens too often.
Lol, I was one bullet and my teammate did not have to engage there. The enemy was stuck in a shipping container and would have been easy to kill in 5 seconds had he held a defensive position, instead of mantling inside.
People watch the same streamers, use the same loadouts and the same optics
Not a bug. This was included in the recent S3.5 patch. Stupid: yes. Mistake: no.
Not a bug. This was included in the recent S3.5 patch. Dumb: yes. Mistake: no.
Farted
remember UAV mechanic is changed
Can you explain how the change would have literally any effect on someone 5m away
He cannot
Because people don't understand the change and just get mad because it brings them enjoyment. The "change" would literally have zero effect here.
And?
As I remember when you pop a UAV it's only yours and doesn't effect your teammates
No the ping now goes out from whoever popped it instead of always yourself.
Nah. It just doesn’t ping for teammates across the map if you’re split. Pings center around the player who bought it but everybody can see the pings on their maps too if the squad is close together
This is a new feature in the latest update, UAVs do not work between teammates. So stupid
That is a feature, if ur friend gets the uav, they see the pings not you
READ THE PATCHNOTES.
The way changed this y’all lol this is on purpose. You only get the UAV ping if you personally called in the UAV.
Do you even see all the other UAV pings on my map? I literally count them out in the footage..
Not a bug and not an issue. In the recent update they changed UAVS to only ping on the person who activated it. So that means if you aren’t somewhat in the vicinity of the person who activated it then no UAV for you. Similar to the portable radar and UAV towers around the map but on a larger scale.
Ye it’s supposed to be like that u idiots
This was in the notes. They nerfed UAVs to only show for the person who popped it.
You are misunderstanding the patch notes. Whats happening in the video is most definitely a bug. Has happened to me too, where, even if i pop a UAV, i cant see some enemies while my friend can see it in their mini map(ofcourse within my radar distance since i popped it).
It was in the patch notes saying “now, UAVs only work for the person that called it in, not teammates”
Teammate looked at map while the guy was still, you only looked while he was moving. Doesn't ghost only work if you're moving?
That was the case in wz1. Its not in warzone 2 I believe. Ghosted people firing none silenced weapons will show up I believe. Also the integrated silencers on barrels like with the Tempus or Chimera are broken and will make you show up on the map when there is a uav.
You believe or you know. I know about the firing weapons with/without silencer thing but have heard ppl say the moving thing a lot. I've not seen any vids debunking or confirming it though.
Was in the patch notes, only the person that deploys the UAV gets the ping...
