Orange Dot Notifications Will Not Clear
Haven't we all had enough of the endless orange dots in the game? Every mission, every firearm, every season pass level... Even if you patiently click each one to get rid of them, it doesn't matter....
Ideas
The orange/red dots that indicates a new attachment has been unlocked are entirely unpredictable. Some weapons you can clear the new attachment icon and it will still show the orange dot on the weapon thumbnail (no, this is not occurring from new weapon blueprints). Some weapons you can clear all new attachments and still have orange dots present on the attachment section. It is virtually impossible to distinguish which guns actually have new attachments and which have faulty icons on them. For reference, I am on PC but my friends on Xbox have also reported this issue. Unsure about PS.
In the above screenshots you can see that it's telling me I have a new item on foregrips. Once I click into the section, there is nothing new available. This isn't the only instance of the problem but context for what I'm referring to. This seems to randomly reset itself as it isn't persistent, presumably on game restart or some other event. This means the problem isn't staying but it is certainly not updating at the times that it should. If I clear the notification of a new attachment it should go away. This is a call of duty problem, c'mon.
I’m not sure if this is happening with everyone else, but for me specifically, I have “new unlocks” on already unlocked weapons and when I go through them individually and thoroughly, I still that little notification thingy that says there’s still something new. I’ve quit and reloaded the game (I’m on XBOX Series X) and even reset my console but those **bleep** notifications won’t disappear.
Any and all tips, tricks and help are greatly appreciated.
Hi spsoccerkid7,
It appears to have been a bug from the most recent update. There's another report below, and a few other posts on the different boards here as well.
Most likely, it'll be something the Dice will need to fix.
I'm experiencing similar bugs... For example, the "New." icon on all Kord weapons doesn't disappear when I hover over it, and I have a yellow dot that remains on the Scorpion and the Glock even though I've checked everything...
Same here for all Kord Weapons, VCR-2, KV9, SV-98 and DB-12. The "New." icon doesn't want to disappear even after restarting the game, reopening weapon menu and rechecking all the attachments. This is a pretty annoying bug, as I can't really check for new unlocks.
I wonder if this is related to new Weapons packages? I got the KV9 Piercing Thicket package and now that weapon has the same issue that the M277, KV9 and KORD do.
