Strictly graphical bugs have been less obvious or intrusive, but one bug has made this time of year particularly festive, adding what looks like Christmas lights to the buildings of Verdansk....

As spotted by GameRant, JGOD recently put out a video on their YouTube channel talking about how the RPD is one of the most underrated weapons in Warzone....
