In Call of Duty: Warzone it became quieter on the cheater front after extensive actions by publisher Activision. However, about 2 weeks later, cheaters and hackers seem to be back again and have found other ways to obtain “ammunition”.
What is the situation? CoD Warzone is an extremely popular battle royale game and therefore many cheaters are drawn here, who prefer to win a round through dishonest cheating rather than hard work.
After a period of relative peace of about 2 weeks due to extensive countermeasures by publisher Activision, the cheaters seem to be back and happily continue to cheat. This is reported by various well-known streamers and YouTubers, such as FaZe Pamaj, SypherPK, or Symfuhny – but also by numerous other players.
Thus, Pamaj has discovered several indications of cheaters, including rounds where only 37 players could be present by the 2nd circle. A cheater was likely at work, who had significantly thinned out the herd.
Where do all the cheaters come from?
What has Activision done? The return of the cheaters comes after a comparatively long period of peace, as publisher Activision had shut down several cheater sites with legal measures at the end of September, the largest of which was likely EngineOwning.
Where do the cheaters come from now? However, each site is said to be back online again according to former pro-gamer MerK, selling Warzone cheats. A similar statement also comes from Twitter user Redrxk, who interviewed a cheater live. The cheater also stated that the cheats from EngineOwning would be back since October 12.
This would likely be the reason for the perceived sudden increase in cheaters in Warzone. However, it contradicts reports from the community that all cheats from EngineOwning would automatically be blocked by the game if a user tries to use them.
Therefore, other previously unknown cheat providers could be behind the new “wave”. In any case, many cheaters seem to be back and the fight against them starts anew. That cheaters are extremely creative and spend a ton of time and energy on cheating instead of just getting good at the game is illustrated by this case: a cheater cowardly glitched under the map to ambush players there.
How about you? Do you also feel like you are encountering cheaters more frequently again? Or do you think that not much has really changed in recent weeks?
