Call Of Duty Warzone: Anti Cheat Update To Introduce 2 New Ways To Report Hackers

After its release in March, Call of Duty: Warzone has been on a constant upwards trajectory. Infinity Ward’s maiden venture into the battle royale genre with Call of Duty: Warzone saw millions of players flock to their title. The game, a massive success already within ten days of launch, reached a milestone of fifty million registered players a month after its launch.

However, massive popularity comes with a con; it attracts a ton of cheaters who ruin the experience for honest gamers. Warzone is the latest victim in a list of free-to-play battle royale games, overrun by cheaters who use hacking software such as aimbot and wallhack. Infinity Ward didn’t hold back either.

The developers acted swiftly by permabanning such accounts 70,000 a couple of weeks back. They have implemented a more robust system for distinguishing cheating accounts. A few days back, the developers also incorporated a unique system that matched hackers against each other in the same lobby as a punishment.

New Anti-Cheat functionalities in Call Of Duty Warzone & Modern Warfare

The developers announced an incoming Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Warzone anti-cheat update across PS4, Xbox One, and PC. This will be yet another tool to curb cheating in the game. Infinity Ward informed about the upcoming update on Twitter.

Now, if a player gets unfairly killed or downed in Warzone and Modern Warfare, they can watch the opponent’s POV in Killcam and report anything suspicious. Similarly, a player can access the Spectate feature to spectate and report shady players who rampantly rack up impossible kills. Moreover, the player who registered the report will receive a confirming notification when the cheater gets banned.

As mentioned in the tweet, the new anti-cheat update will go live on Modern Warfare and Warzone within this week. It highlights that the developers focused on tackling rampant cheaters. The upgrade from Infinity Ward comes a week after they implemented the ‘Addition Dedicated Security Updates.’

Players and gaming influencers should both receive this announcement favorably. Especially those who have had the disappointment of encountering cheaters or hackers in a match. Players swarm to Warzone, one of the smoothest battle royale experiences till now, and Infinity Ward must elevate their measures against hackers even further.
