Call of Duty: Vanguard's Second-Best Player Exposed as a Cheater
A lawsuit has been filed against Activision Blizzard by the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing, which alleges the company has engaged in abuse, discrimination, and retaliation against its female employees. Activision Blizzard has denied the allegations. The full details of the Activision Blizzard lawsuit (content warning: rape, suicide, abuse, harassment) are being updated as new information becomes available.
One of the most successful Call of Duty: Vanguard players has recently been exposed as a cheater during a streamed match. This is not the first time that this sort of story has come out of the game's massive player community this year, as it was only a few weeks ago that a Call of Duty cheater got himself caught in the middle of a game, leading to his ultimate ban from competitive leagues.
As is the case with so many competitive video games, Call of Duty has a problem with cheating. This issue seems to be pervasive throughout all the franchise's modern titles, including the live-service Warzone and traditional annual releases such as Black Ops Cold War and last year's Vanguard. Cheaters who avoid detection will often use popular methods like aimbots, which allow for greatly assisted aiming and unnaturally quick response times, in addition to wallhacks, which lets the user see through walls and better anticipate approaching competitors. Although the franchise's developers have been fighting back against cheaters through responses like theRICOCHET defense system in Warzone, the issue persists in the game's competitive space.
