Call of Duty: Warzone players will encounter new changes in the Ghost perk
Many players quit Warzone after encountering several hackers in the game. This ruined the overall experience for users who love to play fairly and display their skills. Fortunately, developers took countermeasures to stop cheaters by introducing RICOCHET Anti-cheat, a kernel-level software in Warzone.
Interestingly, the recent changes added to the Ghost perk will stop players from camping in Warzone. Ghost is one of the most important perks for your Warzone loadout. It kept you hidden on the mini-map and was effective against enemy UAVs and heartbeat sensors.
BREAKING: @TrueGameData has confirmed that Ghost no longer hides players from a UAV if they’re not moving.
It now requires you to be moving to be hidden, similar to how ghosts functioned in Black Ops Cold War. So far he has only confirmed this in private matches of Warzone. pic.twitter.com/TS20T7wHV5

With the help of Ghost, several users would avoid fighting other opponents and start camping to win the game. However, developers have now taken severe actions against such players and changed the overall mechanics of the Ghost perk. From now onwards, Ghost will only hide you from enemies’ UAVs if you are moving.
The ghost change is also live in public matches of #Warzone as well as Modern Warfare multiplayer.
I’ll never understand why changes like this don’t get announced. pic.twitter.com/XtpbwRNF5C

That's a great change!
But, why a stealth change? That wasn't in the patch notes.

Therefore, you won’t be able to camp as enemy UAVs will detect your location. Furthermore, ModernWarzone also released a clip where they displayed the changes developers introduced to the Ghost perk. Naturally, fans are joyful and thankful for developers to add the required changes to the perk.
Only took 'em three years. What an amazing service, very fast.

Let's be honest guys. The TRUE noobs don't read patch notes. They won't know their ghost isn't working because they are standing still. And I love that…

I can see this being good for most. But solo Warzone, the lobbies are dying after first circle now, all this is going to do is lower the player base to end zone.

One comment read, ” ?similar to how it worked in cold war? yea let?s just forget when it originated years ago..” Whereas another fan said, “That’s a massive W Raven going in the right direction.”
