Since Warzone released back in March of 2020, hackers have managed to ruin plenty of games with different cheats. These cheats stem from wallhacks to aimbots, and even god mode. Players have called for better anti-cheat systems to wipe these cheaters out, and even though ban waves have been rolled out, cheaters remain. In recent weeks, some have been using hacks that don\u2019t really affect other players, as they just get to use unreleased skins and characters in Warzone. Some of these have been banned, but NICKMERCS believes that shouldn\u2019t be the case. In his March 20 video, the FaZe Clan star noted that, in a recent game, he managed to take down an enemy who had an unreleased weapon skin and started using it for himself. As a result, the player who he took the skin from received a ban. \u201cA lot people are getting banned, and they don\u2019t deserve to be permanently banned,\u201d Nick said. \u201cI think Activision should keep the focus on the hacking that is bad, like the guys who are going into games with aimbots and the walls. Lets keep the focus, lets keep the attention on these guys.\u201d The streaming star commended the developers for doing \u201ca good job\u201d cleaning up hackers, but these players who are using unreleased content are getting \u201cunwarranted\u201d bans. \u201cThere are a lot of people getting caught in the crossfire, and there\u2019s got to be something that we can do about, or Activision can do, in the hopes that the wrong people don\u2019t get banned,\u201d Nick continued. Timestamp of 0:30 Like many, Nick still wants an anti-cheat in place. Activision may have banned over 100,000 accounts, but Warzone is a free-to-play game, so you can simply make a new account and cheat all over again.

However, using unreleased skins has happened in Call of Duty\u2019s before, and not come with any punishment, so we\u2019ll have to wait and see if things get reversed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NICKMERCS argues Warzone hackers shouldn\u2019t be banned for using unreleased content YouTube: NICKMERCS\/ActivisionYouTube and Twitch star Nick \u2018NICKMERCS\u2019 Kolcheff believes that Warzone hackers who just unreleased content like new skins and operators shouldn\u2019t be banned alongside aimbotting cheaters, calling for Activision to make a change.
