Call of Duty: Warzone Players Report Major Increase in Cheating

gamerant.com:

Call of Duty: Warzone continues to be massive popular with battle royale fans years after it originally launched, even with its consistent issues with cheaters and hacking. Over the first year, the game was rife with players using specialized cheating tools like wall hacking, aimbotting, and other disruptive hacks, ruining matches for those who attempted to play and win legitimately. Some hackers even used less harmful cheats by using unreleased skins or custom-made ones.

While developer Raven Software continued to ban cheaters and hackers in waves, the problem never really ceased. However, things seemingly improved late last year as Activision launched its own Anti-Cheat tool known as Ricochet. With its launch in Call of Duty: Warzone, hacking and cheating seemingly fell off, with 50,000 players being banned in a single day. However, as time wore on, hackers found ways around the service as surges of cheating took hold every so often.
