This is a common precaution developers take to prevent cheat makers from getting the upper hand in the endless arms race.īased on the April blog post, we know that Warzone has a 24/7 security team that reviews and identifies “all possible cheats and hacks”. Infinity Ward hasn’t said too much about its measures for catching and banning cheaters. For instance, an aimbot can be tuned to not instantly snap to a target at impossible speeds, instead kicking in only when the player naturally moves their crosshair near the target. The tools themselves can assist with the ruse.
Some cheaters try their best to appear like normal players by faking ignorance or toggling their cheats off. Combined with Warzone’s simulated bullet penetration through walls, these tools let cheaters kill entire squads without ever actually looking at them. The aimbots that most cheaters use are also incredibly effective, giving cheaters near-perfect aim while accounting for bullet drop and target leading at any distance that the weapon normally allows. If that’s not bad enough, it can also show where every piece of loot is around them.
A player’s wireframe color will also turn from yellow to red when they’re in line-of-sight of the cheater so they know when to start firing. The most common version of wallhacks can optionally broadcast additional information like a player’s distance from the cheater, their username, and what weapon they’re holding. The knowledge afforded by wallhacks is extremely valuable in a battle royale game, where smart positioning is everything. You can see both of these in use in the video above by NeMs942, a cheater that has built an audience of over 40,000 subscribers through Warzone cheat videos while (apparently) skirting a permanent ban.

It’s clear that Infinity Ward needs more concrete anti-cheat measures, especially if Warzone is going to be supported for years to come. This news came just after a report alleging that the developer quiently banned over 20,000 accounts in a single wave.Ĭonsidering Warzone reached over 75 million total players in August 2020, 20,000 accounts is likely a drop in the bucket of total cheaters. At the end of September, right before the start of Season 6, Infinity Ward announced that it has banned over 200,000 accounts for cheating since the game’s launch. It released one blog post in April 2020 roughly outlining its security measures, then in July reminded players that modifying their games in any way can result in a ban. Warzone's current main developer, Raven Software, has been quiet on the issue of cheaters, but Infinity Ward did make a few rare statements last year.
