Call of Duty is one of my favorite games played online around the world. However, sometimes it is irritating when you want to add a new feature and it takes an eternity. The “copying ass on” text appearing on the screen can be irritating when installing the game. People often ask why Call of Duty keeps saying “copying add-on?”
Let us tell you all about it in detail.
Copying Add-On Text
This problem typically occurs with PS5 consoles as Warzone does not yet have a PS5 console update. It appears when booting the Modern Warfare/ Warzone. It pushes you to copy the add-on for every game when you launch the game. You can only play the game after it is copied.
The “copying add on” text appears when you install the Modern Warfare packets. You have to wait for the add-on to copy to download these. Once copied, press R3 to see the packs you can install. You can also see the campaign packs for Modern Warfare in the Modern Warfare tab.
When installing the Modern Warfare packs from the tab, choose Campaign Pack and Movement Pack 1.
It can range from 11 GB to 27 GB in size and may take up to 30 minutes to copy.

However, the issue is troublesome for many gamers. They believe that the game is not living up to the expectations by not offering its full potential.
How to Fix “Coping Add Ons” on PS5
While this issue is not entirely resolvable through the console itself, you can fix multiplayer on Modern Warfare by taking a few steps:
