Warzone 2 players claim cheater \u201cplague\u201d has hit after season 5 update ActivisionWarzone 2 players are convinced there has been an uptick in cheaters in Season 5, with some players describing it as a \u201cplague\u201d of hackers. Towards the end of Warzone 1\u2019s cycle, the Call of Duty battle royale became overrun by cheaters. You couldn\u2019t play a game on Verdansk without someone using an aim bot or wallhacks, and in some extreme cases, god mode. The devs tried to clamp down on things with improvements to the Ricochet anti-cheat for Warzone 2, designed at catching cheaters out before they could do too much damage. Though, it\u2019s debatable if that has worked. They\u2019ve been able to ban tens of thousands of hackers and a recent ban wave even took down around 14,000 cheating accounts. However, some players believe things have gotten worse than ever in Season 5. Warzone 2 player furious as cheater \u201chackdemic\u201d hits in Season 5 That\u2019s right, if you feel like your Warzone lobbies are infested with more cheaters, well, you\u2019re not alone. Many players have taken to social media to voice their concern about what they believe is a new \u201chackdemic\u201d in the battle royale. \u201cLiterally got 3 resurgence games in a row where I went up against someone using walls and aim hacks. 100% no question about it cheaters,\u201d said one player. \u201cIt\u2019s been a cheater black plague for the last 2 days now and lobbies full of either hardcore sweats or AFK droppers,\u201d added another. Some players pointed to the recent ban wave likely causing a spike in new accounts from previously banned hackers being the reason why. \u201cMost likely hackers had their account banned so they made new one and are more blatant about hacking,\u201d commented another. Other players suggested that the anti-cheat had simply \u201cdisappeared\u201d as hackers have taken control across both Warzone and multiplayer. \u201cCan\u2019t play a single game tonight without some cheater ruining the lobby,\u201d added another dismayed player. The reason as to why there is a spike in cheaters could be that the devs are planning another big ban wave. Ricochet will still be running in the background and won\u2019t have \u2018disappeared\u2019 like some believe. So, we\u2019ll just have to wait and see what happens.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
