The community of Call of Duty: Warzone is furious: Players have been reporting a hacker for weeks who proudly shares his misdeeds live on TikTok, yet the developers do not ban him. Now players want to see the cheater banned even more.
This is why the mood around Warzone is turning: In recent months, the cheater situation in Call of Duty: Warzone has become unbearable, leading core streamers and content creators like CouRageJD or NickMercs (via YouTube.com) to abandon it. Even after Activision banned over 60,000 cheater accounts in August alone, hackers continue to flood the lobbies.
However, the developers promise that they will improve this situation. With the release of Call of Duty: Vanguard, a new anti-cheat system is set to be introduced. Not only in the multiplayer of the new CoD installment but also in Warzone. However, one particular hacker is drawing so much attention that the community is directly reaching out to the developers via Twitter.
Outrageous hacker streams his offenses – What is the developer doing?
Why is the community upset? The Warzone community is currently at odds with publisher Activision. The game is plagued by cheaters. The community feels that they are not being heard by the developers.
This concern is reinforced by the latest story: A hacker has been dismantling entire lobbies for days with his cheats. So far, so ordinary, but the curious thing about this hacker is that he streams his gameplay daily on TikTok and Twitch and is reported multiple times. The cheeky trickster has not received a ban weeks after the first report.
This is what streaming clips show: On TikTok, the hacker clearly demonstrates what he is capable of. At least he needs a box, a red one, to highlight opponents even through walls, to be precise. Only on Twitch does he hold back with the obvious cheats and hides them. Here he sells his kill streaks as unmatched successes. In one of his more recent clips, you can clearly see what type of cheats he is using: Wallhacks and aimbots.
As blocking the hack streamer through Warzone and Twitch’s report function is not working, some players are taking harsher measures. They are now reaching out to the developer of Warzone via Twitter (via Twitter.com). However, at this time, the hacker is still active in Warzone. He has also not been banned on Twitch (via Twitch.tv).
This is also affecting the competition: Not only in Call of Duty: Warzone are players fed up with cheaters and hackers. The competition Battlefield is also constantly struggling with cheaters. Even Battlefield 2042 apparently is not safe from this, and it hasn’t even been released yet.
The well-known insider and leaker Tom Henderson stated in one of his tweets that he spoke with a cheat provider. He has very bad news for Battlefield fans: Battlefield 2042 will be just as infested with hackers as Warzone – Says a cheat seller
