RICOCHET\u2019s kernel-level driver can\u2019t come soon enough as Vanguard\u2019s first online tournaments have already been impacted by various cheats. As many of the scene\u2019s top CDL players come to grips with the new release, tens of thousands in prizing has already been made available through early S&#038;D events. While some have gone off without a hitch \u2013 outside of the \u2018heartbreaking\u2019 defuse bug \u2013 others have already been impacted by cheaters. Such was the case during a $7,000 tournament on November 7. A vast majority of CDL teams were all competing alongside a number of Challengers squads. One particular team, comprised of relative newcomers, was quick to raise eyebrows after taking out OpTic 3-2 and landing a spot in the semi-finals. Before long, the results were overturned as a hacking player was exposed. Shiv is the name of the first major cheater to come under fire in the CoD Vanguard cycle. While all looked fine on the POV shared through his Twitch stream, viewers quickly noticed his cheats through the monitor cam. Taking a closer look at Shiv\u2019s screen in real-time, you can easily see enemy nametags through walls. It goes without saying, this clearly provides him and his team with an unfair advantage in any given matchup. It didn\u2019t take long for the entire competitive scene to flame the cheater on social media. \u201cF***ing sh***er,\u201d iLLeY called him on Twitter. \u201cShiv Pack hitting different right now,\u201d Dashy joked. Amusingly enough, not everyone fell victim to Shiv\u2019s cheats.

The cheater soon tried to save face by exposing a list of other supposed cheaters in the scene. While there\u2019s no clear-cut evidence supporting these claims, one thing is for certain.
