Twitch bans Warzone streamer using \u2018soft\u2019 aimbot hack on stream ActivisionStreaming platform Twitch have banned a Warzone content creator known as \u2018chrissoaresgtr\u2019, after it became apparent to viewers that he was using a \u2018soft\u2019 aimbot hack while playing Call of Duty\u2019s battle royale. Despite its millions of players and backing from Activision, Warzone has suffered from considerable cheating issues, with thousands of players striving to gain illicit and unfair advantages. Many have criticized the response of developers Raven and publishers Activision in inhibiting players\u2019 ability to cheat. On July 16, Raven confirmed that another 50,000 accounts have been banned, taking the total of banned accounts towards 600,000. New Warzone ban wave from @RavenSoftware \ud83d\udc68\u2696\ufe0f Hopefully this means less \u201cpants\u201d tags ruining matches. pic.twitter.com\/lI9cjjmROI \u2014 Dexerto Esports (@DexertoEsports) July 16, 2021 Despite the ban waves, plenty of players continue to lobby Activision to implement a more robust anti-cheat system, which would inhibit many players from being able to hack in the first place. Any player found to be hacking would be automatically banned by the game\u2019s system. While some hacks are blatant, others, like the Cronus Zen and \u2018soft\u2019 aimbot are far harder to spot. However, one Twitch streamer who evaded Raven\u2019s July 16 ban wave was quickly caught by eagle-eyed viewers and banned by Twitch. Streamer \u2018chrissoaresgtr\u2019 somehow managed to avoid detection in Activision\u2019s banning spree, but viewers realized that even when his crosshairs and aim seemed off, bullets connect with little to no explanation. The natural conclusion is hacks of some sort, allowing his bullets to connect even when his accuracy leaves a lot to be desired. Many Redditors reported the streamer, and Twitch promptly banned his channel. Despite the success of banning a cheater from Twitch, many Redditors were still disappointed that he had managed to evade Activision\u2019s own ban wave.
