From Glitch to Global

Among the most widely shared pieces from the campaign was Rito’s investigation into a persistent and highly specific Warzone glitch: a bug causing Riot Shields to disappear when players were downed inside vehicles and then revived. The issue had been reported in fragments across community channels for over a year, but no one had tied the pieces together—until now.

To accurately demonstrate the bug’s activation conditions, Rito recruited an additional player to assist with live testing scenarios. The glitch required precise steps involving passenger seating, knockdowns, revives, and inventory interactions—making it a coordinated two-person QA effort. Rito documented every variation through detailed in-game captures, ensuring clarity around when and how the bug could be reliably triggered.

Once captured, the footage was transformed into a tightly edited, infotainment-style video using Adobe Premiere. But this time, Rito introduced a creative twist: performing and recording a custom rap under his multimedia persona Rito Rhymes. The lyrics wove together technical breakdowns and comedic flair, making the video both shareable and technically credible—a rare blend.

The campaign paid off. The video was featured in a write-up by Screen Rant, one of the largest entertainment and gaming outlets in the world, which praised the video’s originality and depth. Other outlets followed, citing the bug’s persistence and the utility of Rito’s workaround, further amplifying the visibility of the issue.

For a bug that had gone largely unnoticed by the developer and ignored by official patch notes, this was the turning point—escalating a niche gameplay flaw into a widely recognized design failure, and giving players a workaround while the studio scrambled to catch up.

In another widely-circulated campaign, Rito uncovered and elevated a bizarre Warzone bug that caused helicopters to explode instantly when landing in specific zones on Rebirth Island—without taking any visible damage or enemy fire. The glitch had game-breaking implications for players relying on air mobility, but instead of documenting it in a dry, technical manner, Rito chose a dramatically different route.

To make the bug unforgettable, he created a satirical video set to the energetic overture of La Traviata. Using a blend of humor, classical flair, and sharp timing, the video showcased a series of chaotic helicopter explosions across multiple landing zones—each more absurd and unpredictable than the last. What made the piece truly infotaining, however, was Rito’s commitment to detail: extensively mapping out the “death zones” on Rebirth Island and marking the exact areas where landings would trigger the glitch.

The content struck a balance between entertainment and utility—delivering a laugh while providing real strategic insight for players trying to avoid instant death. The opera, the carnage, and the unexpected comedic framing caught the attention of several gaming outlets, including GameRant, which featured the video in a detailed breakdown of the issue.

“YouTuber Rito Rhymes showed a montage of several unfair deaths... the combination of the song and exploding helicopters makes for an entertaining clip.”

Beyond the laugh, the video created pressure. Players began sharing it to warn each other. Comment threads filled with anecdotes of similar experiences. What began as a mysterious, unlisted glitch quickly became a known hazard—because Rito turned chaos into culture.

During Warzone Pacific Season 3, Rito uncovered a bug that caused the "Snoop Dogg" character skin’s head to disappear entirely when using a specific weapon configuration. Though players could still land headshots, the missing visual dramatically reduced visibility—giving users of the skin a clear gameplay advantage.

Rito published the clip directly to the Warzone subreddit under the name ritorhymes, demonstrating how equipping the Akimbo Top Break pistols would trigger the visual glitch, with the head reappearing only when switching to a shield. The post was framed for clarity and viral potential, showing the bug in action without overexplaining—allowing it to speak for itself.

The video was picked up by multiple gaming news outlets, including Dexerto, which featured the clip and broke down its competitive implications:

This entry in the campaign demonstrated that not all coverage needs extensive production—just smart timing, platform fluency, and a sharp eye for which glitches would resonate with both players and the press. Even without a soundtrack or cinematic overlay, Rito turned a small moment into a media-worthy artifact by being first, clear, and undeniable.

While this campaign didn’t expose a specific bug, it showcased another major vulnerability in Warzone’s ecosystem: the prevalence of cheating. In a match on Rebirth Resurgence, Rito and his squad encountered a hacker wielding a full suite of cheats—wallhacks, aim assist, and movement enhancements—systematically eliminating the entire team in the final circle.

What followed was a one-on-one confrontation between a fully kitted cheater and Rito, armed only with a riot shield, gas grenades, thermite, and his tactical wits. Instead of giving up or glitching out, Rito engaged strategically—baiting reloads, blocking shots, applying pressure with tacticals, and finally downing the hacker. Before the finishing blow could land, the hacker rage-quit.

Rito shared the clip to Reddit under the ritorhymes handle and followed up with tactical commentary in an email to Dexerto, which published a full article on the encounter. His advice offered players a real toolkit to counteract cheaters in high-pressure endgame scenarios—using patience, timing, and specific loadout mechanics to turn the tide.

“Use the Amped perk to minimize the time your shield is lowered and vulnerable… Thermites are one of the quickest lethals you can throw... If they continuously fire at your shield, try to catch them on the reload.”
— Rito to Dexerto

While this wasn’t traditional QA or media pressure, it was a strong signal that creative, player-driven resilience could offer value even in environments compromised by exploits. Rito turned a hacked lobby into a teachable moment and a media moment—both at once.
