A nasty cheater in Call of Duty: Warzone caused laughter among numerous viewers. The cheater was on the way to victory but made a fatal mistake and still lost.
This is the situation: A user shared a clip from a Warzone match on reddit (via reddit). He had already been eliminated and was watching alongside 11 other players a cheater who was slicing through opponents. With an aim bot, he mowed down an enemy next to a truck and threw a grenade in that direction.
The victory seemed within reach, as there was really no competition that could stop the cheater. However, in the end, he still lost.
Burning truck took down the cheater
This is the clip: The video has now received over 4,800 upvotes in the subreddit and numerous comments that mockingly commented on the action:
How did the cheater die? While he was shooting at his opponent in the truck, he damaged the vehicle so much that it started to burn. This is always a sign that the vehicle is about to explode. However, the cheater ignored the burning and cheerfully collected his opponent’s loot.
The truck exploded after a while and took the cheater with it. The aim bot was of no help there, and the cheater had to concede defeat in this match.
It’s definitely evident when aiming at the opponent. The crosshair moves as if by magic to the enemy and he hits almost every shot afterwards. That’s a classic aim bot that cheaters like to use.
A final hint is the cheater’s behavior. He is already deep in the endgame of the match and running around carelessly. This is because he can win every 1v1 with his aim bot. A fair player would probably play much more cautiously and wouldn’t be standing without cover.
What do viewers say? The clip elicits many laughs and the viewers are gleeful. For example, simpsonstimetravel says: “At the moment when I saw the truck burning, I knew that the idiot would die from it.”
The user BenditlikeBenteke states: “You simply can’t cheat your way into basic situational awareness. I guarantee that any person who has played Warzone for more than 5 minutes recognized the burning truck and knew what would happen.”
What is Warzone doing against cheaters? A lot and yet too little. The developers repeatedly report that they have banned thousands of cheaters. While that sounds good, it’s usually just a drop in the bucket. After all, CoD Warzone is free and cheaters can easily create new accounts and continue cheating.
