NecroKing bundle pulled from Warzone due to critical bugs – what players need to know
NecroKing Bundle Pulled After Launch
The highly anticipated NecroKing Mastercraft bundle experienced an unusually short lifespan in the Call of Duty store, being removed just hours after its March 21 debut in both Warzone and Black Ops Cold War.
This premium cosmetic collection, featuring unique dragon-themed designs and special effects, represents one of the first Ultra-tier offerings in the franchise.While cosmetic bundles typically offer visual enhancements, the NecroKing pack introduced unexpected technical problems that forced Activision’s hand.The rapid removal highlights the challenges developers face when implementing complex cosmetic systems across multiple game platforms.
Critical Bugs and Visual Glitches
The Ice Drake blueprint for the Krig 6 assault rifle demonstrated particularly severe issues when players attempted customization.Equipping standard attachments caused the intricate dragon design to partially disappear, leaving weapons looking incomplete or distorted.

Activision Support confirmed via Twitter that the bundle’s removal resulted from these Warzone-specific compatibility problems.
Gameplay Issues and Community Reports
Beyond cosmetic problems, players reported severe functional issues including complete loadout failures.Some users found themselves weaponless in matches, unable to even use basic melee attacks.
The bundle also caused store interface problems, with some players being forcibly exited when browsing items.
We're aware of Warzone-specific issues with the NecroKing bundle when using the default Barrel on the "Ice Drake" Blueprint. Currently, attaching the 16.5" Ultralight Barrel fixes this issue.
The bundle will be temporarily removed from the Warzone Store while this is addressed.

Temporary Solutions and Future Outlook
For players who already purchased the bundle, Activision recommends using the 16.5″ Ultralight Barrel as a temporary workaround to avoid visual glitches.
While no official timeline exists for the bundle’s return, historical precedents suggest affected players may receive compensation or refunds.
