NICKMERCS calls for Warzone to follow Apex Legends crackdown on Strike Packs YouTube: NICKMERCS\/Sony\/RespawnStreaming star Nick \u2018NICKMERCS\u2019 Kolcheff wants Warzone and other games to follow Apex Legends in getting rid of Strikepacks and other \u201cweird\u201d little hacks. Cheating in multiplayer games is a tale as old as time. Everyone wants to get a leg up on their opponents to the point where some go too far and start using third-party hacks to take them down. A rise of hacking in Warzone has prompted some players to give up on the battle royale and go elsewhere \u2013 mainly to Apex Legends. However, Respawn\u2019s game isn\u2019t totally perfect either. There are still plenty of aimbotters and wall hackers in the Outlands. Aside from those obvious cheats, there are also Strikepacks and different controller add-ons that allow players to get an advantage on shooting and movement. As a result, Respawn have made it so these aren\u2019t to be used in competitive play moving forward, and NICKMERCS sees it as an example to follow. The FaZe Clan star has, like many fellow players, pleaded with developers to root out hackers \u2013 using his platform to shine a light on some outlandish cheats. He believes the Strikepack ban is \u201chuge news\u201d for players, but maybe even bigger from a developer\u2019s point of view. \u201cThere are people you probably think are great, but they\u2019re lowkey cheating man!\u201d Nick said. \u201cI\u2019m kind of excited to see where this thing goes,\u201d he continued. \u201cI don\u2019t know if it\u2019s going to get adopted over there on Call of Duty or spread like wildfire, but I hope we can play together online and have a way to detect these weird cheats and weird third-party attachments so they\u2019re banned and not in the playing field. That\u2019d be awesome.\u201d Nick also notes that the move from Respawn is a \u201cbig W\u201d for competitive players, and it would be even more so if others followed suit. As we\u2019ve seen countless times, it is difficult to totally crackdown on cheaters and hacks just because, well, if someone wants to cheat, they will. But, there are some positive moves being made.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
