COD Warzone is the first battle-royale game on the Call of Duty saga. It has been available since 2020 in a free-to-play format.
Just like other free-to-play games, Warzone developers make money by offering weapon packs, items, skins etc. However, currently some weapons are not working properly.
More specifically, many COD Warzone players are unable to use or equip the Vargo 52 FerroFluid blueprint weapon (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7).
COD Warzone Vargo 52 FerroFluid blueprint not working
Social platforms like Twitter and Reddit are full of reports related to the issue. The Vargo 52 is an assault rifle inherited from COD: Black Ops Cold War.
Meanwhile, the FerroFluid blueprints is part of the Ferro Fury pack which includes blueprints for a set of weapons and items. Basically, it gives an attractive purple-tinted look to equipment.

The Ferro Fury pack that includes the Vargo 52 FerroFluid blueprint is priced at 2,000 COD Points. Although COD Points can be earned in-game, they are usually not enough to buy expensive packs, so players use real money to speed up the process.
