When warrants are served against civilians, they find them and arrest them. The whereabouts of war criminals are usually known, as they often appear publicly, so are they not arrested in the same way as civies?

Unless the country where the accused is currently located wants to turn them over, the warrants are entirely symbolic. The ICC doesn’t have people they can send into countries and make arrests, and if they did, they’d likely have to deal with the military.
