Vikkstar reveals why he\u2019s quitting Warzone and when he might return YouTube \/ Vikkstar123Call of Duty content creator, YouTube personality and London Royal Ravens co-owner Vikram \u2018Vikkstar\u2019 Singh Barn announced he is quitting Warzone, and revealed that only a significant update to the game can convince him to return. Call of Duty: Warzone took the battle royale scene by storm with its release on March 10, 2020. In almost a year since its debut, the game has achieved impressive milestones including 80 million downloads alongside millions of hours watched on platforms like Twitch and YouTube. Warzone started off strong, but has suffered from a number of issues since its release. Various game-breaking bugs and exploits, along with a rising number of cheaters, have led to more and more criticism from the game\u2019s pro players and content creators. The latest creator sharing their concerns is powerhouse YouTuber Vikkstar. Previously one of the game\u2019s top players and content creators, he announced his departure from the BR and confirmed it will take a lot to bring him back. In a recent video, Vikkstar began by explaining the decline in Warzone-based content on his channel and confirmed hackers are the reason for his move away from Verdansk. \u201cThe game is in the worst state it\u2019s ever been,\u201d he noted, calling out the infestation of hackers that have taken over Warzone. \u201cActivision really isn\u2019t addressing how many hackers there are in the game,\u201d he continued. Further, the streamer recounted that, while playing Warzone earlier in the day, he encountered a hacker that was streaming their gameplay \u2013 hacks and all \u2013 to more than 100 viewers on Facebook Gaming. \u201cThey\u2019re a Prestige 2 account with loads of hours on the game, and they\u2019re just sat there hacking and nothing is done about it,\u201d he pointed out. \u201cThere\u2019s always more and more hackers,\u201d he went on, echoing the feelings of many other creators when it comes to the large number of cheaters in the game. \u201cIt\u2019s in an awful, awful state. This is sad for me,\u201d the creator said as he looked back on his time as a competitor and host of his own Warzone tournament. He also expressed frustration with the failure to address Warzone\u2019s cheating problems, and reiterated that \u201cthe player base of the game is now so saturated with hackers.\u201d Read More: Top 20 highest earning Warzone players – \u201cYou either laugh or you cry at how sad it is, that this is the state of a game that we used to love and grind every single day,\u201d he went on. Vikkstar then dived into his relationship with Activision, and how he hoped this video might help to bring more attention to the cheating issues. \u201cEven though I\u2019m a CoD Partner, this is a way to reach out to Activision and say \u2018This needs to be addressed. Really this needs to be fixed,’\u201d he confirmed. The creator also shared his grim outlook on the cheating situation, and warned that \u201cit truly will be the death of the game.\u201d With no anti-cheat in sight, some of #Warzone’s best may stop competing \ud83d\ude2c Top players @Symfuhny, @TylerTeeP and @jukeyz are, or have considered, taking a break from WZ tourneys \u2014 with Sym recently explaining why on stream. pic.twitter.com\/oGL7OCQRpp \u2014 Dexerto Esports (@DexertoEsports) January 29, 2021 Like Mason \u2018Symfuhny\u2019 Lanier\u2019s recent criticisms, Vikkstar then revealed that playing with so many hackers was simply too stressful for him to continue creating content in Warzone: \u201cPerhaps if there\u2019s a new update to the game, we have some new stuff to cover, a new map that will bring me back, but until then it\u2019s so painful to play.\u201d \u201cHopefully you guys appreciate me speaking up and using my platform for that, and we can kinda band together, amplify this and really put out a message to Activision and Raven,\u201d he went on. After showing his viewers footage of the hacker streaming to Facebook, Vikkstar simply commented \u201cWhat an absolute joke.\u201d The YouTuber is far from the first creator to voice his concerns about the state of cheating in Warzone, but as a CoD Partner and co-owner of a Call of Duty League team, Activision will likely pay close attention to his criticisms as the cheating problem in Warzone continues to grow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
