Despite the number of players who went both routes in obtaining the weapon, once Activision discovered the fault, it immediately pulled the crossbow from the game. While the company appear it would refund anyone who purchased the crossbow, a customs director for Treyarch had then confirmed that progress in unlocking it would be reset, which meant that players who spent time grinding information technology were out of luck.

Yet, later on plenty of negative feedback from players, Treyarch stated that they would compromise instead. Players who unlocked the crossbow players would be placed at 14/15 match completions and retain their camo progress, while players who grinded for but didn't obtain it would retain their previous claiming progress.
