Cheaters typically only cause frustration and bad vibes in Call of Duty: Warzone. But when a cheater with 47 kills finally goes down, almost half the lobby cheers over the kill, celebrating the heroic cheater-killer at the end of the round.
What’s going on? Cheaters are the biggest problem in Call of Duty: Warzone. Too powerful weapons, bugs in the game, and sometimes slightly strange matchmaking can’t compete with the cheaters – they are the biggest plague of the Battle Royale Warzone.
With their wall hacks and aim bots, they leave fair players no chance, yet – sometimes they can also create positive feelings. In a new clip of Warzone, over 20 players show solidarity with a cheater-killer. In the open mic phase at the end of the match, everyone celebrates the lobby hero together.
20 players cheer for the cheater-killer – successful
What did it look like? The clip spread across the Warzone subreddit and was uploaded by user “rainisland90”:
What’s to be seen? The clip starts with the fight of the team of thread creator rainisland against the cheater. Even with three players, they have absolutely no chance against the cheater, who quickly dispatches them with his powerful XM4. Despite having the high ground and numbers, the cheater easily wipes out the three opponents.
Next follows a scene that is meant to illustrate how obvious and brazen the cheater flaunts his hacks. The cheater goes by the nickname “McLovin” and flexes his aim bot kills with a mastercraft skin for the FARA 83.
After that, the endgame scene follows. The cheater enters the combat zone and takes a few hits. At this point, the aim bot user has already racked up 46 kills. Due to the many kills, the cheater apparently became overconfident. Instead of taking cover for a moment, assessing the situation, and using his hacks to annihilate everything, McLovin fully relies on his cheats, runs into the open street, and goes down.
The squad around thread creator rainisland cheers hard – user “GOLDENARM10” saves the day and wins the match with his squad in the end. Many players stay until the end of the match to congratulate the cheater-killer. A rather nice and friendly ending to a bad round of Warzone that was terrorized by a nasty cheater.
The hero GOLDENARM10 also chimes in at the end and shows camaraderie: “I was lucky… Sorry that you all got killed by this piece of s*****.”
Players celebrate GOLDENARM10, but slowly lose faith
How is the clip received? The thread receives a lot of love and, after nearly 20 hours, already has over 7,500 upvotes (as of July 5, 10 AM). In addition, there are over 300 comments, and a discussion is developing about the impact of cheaters on the game. Trust is dwindling and it also touches on the fact that even large streamers today cannot be trusted not to use cheats.
However, there are also many comments celebrating the positive outcome of the cheater match:
- thewongisland writes: “Here begins the legend of GOLDENARM10”
- neversaynotobacta replies: “I’m a guy, but I want to have his kids”
- —daemon— says: “I wish the end lobby was more often like this. Camaraderie. Instead, you normally encounter a bunch of idiots screaming the N-word.”
Many agree – cheaters ruin the game, and only a few players have yet to encounter one of the unfair cheaters. The demand for stronger anti-cheat measures is often repeated and runs through the entire thread.
Unfortunately, not every lobby has a lucky hero like GOLDENARM10. Too often, cheater matches end with a cheating winner, leaving us frustrated and demotivated.
Additionally, cheaters are continuing to evolve and release new features, to better hide their cheats or annoy other players with game crashes.
