The widespread news of the anti-cheat system being bogged by pay-wall has definitely distressed the community. Activision announced the release of a brand new title, Call of Duty: Vanguard in August. And this opened the floodgates for outcry as Warzone players would need to buy the title to gain access to the anti-cheat system.

More reports from the insider suggest that things aren’t going to be so smooth for cheaters. Players who have incurred hardware and account bans in Warzone won’t be invited to play Vanguard. This is certainly a step in the right direction, as it will prevent existing cheaters from taking over the next major release.

Twitter Reacts to Warzone cheaters being banned from Vanguard

Naturally, fans flock to the thread to talk about the recent update and how things will work in the game. However, this fan pointed to one of the curious ways that hackers can circumvent the ban.

A cheat engine is used to hack into game files and tweak numbers within the title. This amounts to cheating and hacking, which merits a ban even if the app is open on your system. This fan tried to justify the use of the application, which puts him right on the radar of a potential hacker.

Another offered a rather interesting standpoint that states mods shouldn’t amount to a permanent ban. The community makes use of these things for various titles to add interesting fan-made content.
