The Call of Duty gaming community has experienced a number of bugs and glitches that slow down our games, or give us the shit, but a recent bug might be the scariest thing to happen to you in a game.
Something that seems quite striking to us is how a mistake can give a radical twist to our gaming experience, but a mistake with the Attack Dogs sends players straight to hell, in a terrifying chase.
Attack Dogs are traditionally a deadly Killstreak awarded to a player who goes on a sensational kill streak. The map is invaded by a pack of bloodthirsty puppies that want to rip the jugular out of any enemy they find. But it seems that many of them are opposed to the idea of death.
They’re generally pretty tough, attack dogs take a lot of damage to put down, meaning players get a lot of bang for their buck if they acquire them; after all, you need a 10 kill streak. What disturbs us a bit is that there seems to be a strange texture bug in Call of Duty: Vanguard that practically brings dead dogs back to life.
Multiple posts on the Vanguard subreddit have revealed evidence of this happening to them, showing that this is not a one-time event. This first post showed a springy demon dog bouncing around the Ship Haus uncontrollably, violently bouncing off the walls and floors.
But if you’re on an external map, the effects can look even worse. “What kind of birds are these?” was the appropriately titled post for the following video that revealed the dog’s true demonic form.
Dog corpses are capable of terrorizing the skies with their horribly contorted and stretched bodies. They resemble hideous demon birds and are an unwanted distraction when you’re in heated combat on a smaller map. Finally, the last example showed how dogs are able to pin you down.
A player was hiding in a container in Shipment, and after fending off the threat of a normal attack dog, they defeated a demon dog that behaved so erratically that it crashed the player’s game. This bug is obviously wild, but according to one commenter it’s not new: “Yes, it appeared since beta.”
