Call of Duty: Warzonefans are no strangers to cheating, as most have likely run into opponents using a hack or exploit at least once. According to theCall of Duty: Warzonefan base, though, the cheats have become even more prevalent following the June 3 update.
Currently, it is unclear if the update itself has done anything specific that would make cheating easier. Its biggest change was closingCall of Duty: Warzone’s Nakatomi Plaza vaultand ending the 80s Action Heroes event, with only minor bug fixes and weapon changes listed in the rest of the notes. Still, fans believe there is a clear difference following this patch, with cheaters being seen in every single match for some unlucky gamers. One of these unlucky players is Drakota, who regularly streams on Twitch.

In a recent Twitter post, theCall of Duty: Warzonestreamerdetailed their experience with four matches. In the first, they had to deal with stream snipers, an unfortunate situation that most have to deal with at one point or another. However, it is the following three games that really show the cheating issue at its worst. According to Drakota, they lost to cheaters in three games straight. Sarcastically saying thatCall of Duty: Warzoneis “in a great spot,” the streamer’s frustration is clear. Drakota also found more cheaters after the Tweet.
However, regularCall of Duty: Warzoneplayershave been putting up with similarly annoying bouts of cheating. Redditor ToiletMassacreof64 states that cheaters have returned in “full force,” confirming what has been said in other posts. According to the player, they have encountered at least one cheater in every play session over a three-day period. The final day saw four of ten games having cheaters, with the last match even having two on the same team. In the comments, TrendKiller333 shares a similarly grueling experience, saying that this is the “worst” they have seen cheating get.
All across theCall of Duty: Warzonesubreddit, similar posts can be found, with gamers like jonesjones12 showing that the cheating was on the rise before the June 3 update. The player also specifies whichCall of Duty: Warzonecheatswere being used, with the increasingly common aimbots and wallhack combo being the main source of frustration. The cheating has gotten so bad that jonesjones12 has even considered making a new account, as 80% of teams “in the past 15 matches” the player has completed have had hackers.
As many commenters have pointed out, this is likely a product of the latest ban wave, as cheaters usually strike back with a vengeance a few days later. WhileCall of Duty: Warzone’s ban milestoneis impressive, cheaters being able to make new accounts makes the efforts far less effective than they should be.
Call of Duty: Warzoneis available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
