Warzone hackers can now crash anyone\u2019s game and are targeting streamers Activision \/ Pexels, Sora ShimazakiAs brought to light by 100 Thieves Warzone pro Tommey, there seems to be a nightmarish new hack in CoD\u2019s battle royale. While queuing up for a tournament, a random user joined his group and\u2026 immediately crashed the game. Call of Duty: Warzone players are no strangers to hacks and PC players are no strangers to dev errors. In a twisted m\u00e9lange of fate, those two issues seem to have joined forces in the game\u2019s newest terror. Loading into Verdansk alongside his teammate, Fifakill, Tommey was confused when a random user joined their group. Moments later, he was even more confused as said player simply greeted them and Tommey\u2019s Warzone client immediately crashed. Tommey first posted about the issue on Twitter, before going back in and double-checking that the unthinkable had really happened. Shortly after, he shared video proof of the forced dev error. This user just joined our lobby, said hello and then gave me a dev error? Please don’t tell me it’s a new thing where players can force dev errors\u2026 Please. pic.twitter.com\/GrgTzH9Yuz \u2014 Tommey (@Tommey) July 1, 2021 As can be seen in Tommey\u2019s first tweet, a user with a ridiculously cryptic name joined he and Fifakill in the pregame lobby. Apparently, this user \u201csaid hello and then gave [Tommey] a dev error.\u201d Unsure if that was actually possible or not, the 100 Thieves content creator jumped back in and seemed to have rejoined the user to test it out. You can now (or maybe even have been able to for a while?) force a dev error on another player. pic.twitter.com\/CAirpu41d2 \u2014 Tommey (@Tommey) July 1, 2021 After the random user was denied repeatedly when asking if Tommey had any questions, the game client suddenly crashed. They seemed to want Tommey to ask how they\u2019re doing the weird hack, and appeared to be disappointed when he declined. At the moment, it\u2019s unclear if this is a new or simply a newly emerging hack \u2014 or what exactly causes it. For now, though, players ought to set their in-game groups to invite-only so that random hackers can\u2019t join up and ruin their session.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
