Warzone\u2019s major issues with cheating are well documented, with the Call of Duty BR long struggling to get a handle on the prevalence of hackers in the average game. Despite the implementation of RICOCHET back in December, there have still been issues with cheaters, although the general consensus is that the situation\u2019s overall outlook has been improved. Regardless, we still see peaks and troughs in terms of the prominence of cheaters and, ahead of Season 4 Reloaded, players are claiming the situation is close to being out of control. Warzone players \u201cfood for cheaters\u201d in Season 4 In a July 22 Reddit post, player \u2018GeronimoTM\u2018 questioned the current cheating situation, asking whether the average player is just there for cheaters to prey on. \u201cThe Warzone experience is atrocious,\u201d they said. \u201cThe first thing I noticed after around 40 matches, is that around 1\/5 people I am getting killed from and later spectate are blatant cheaters using aim-lock\u2026 and [the] worst part is that some of those obvious cheaters have high-level accounts, which are probably worth hundreds of dollars.\u201d They also pointed to frequent shadow bans on community figures, claiming they\u2019re proof of the prevalence of cheaters. It has all led them to the conclusion: \u201cIt makes me question if this game is made for us, everyday players, or if we are just food at this point for cheaters.\u201d While the post garnered some attention \u2013 sitting at over 100 upvotes \u2013 not everyone agreed with OP\u2019s sentiment. One defended RICOCHET and claimed a bigger problem with Warzone right now is \u201csweaty\u201d lobbies: \u201cI can\u2019t stress this enough. RICOCHET works. So very few cheaters. At the same time, the experience right now changed a lot as most of the casuals left, and your average lobby is above 1KD.\u201d Naturally, others did echo the sentiment and lamented the fact that cheaters are still regularly encountered, in spite of RICOCHET. Hopefully, when Warzone 2 launches, all these issues will become irrelevant.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Warzone players claim they\u2019re \u201cfood for cheaters\u201d ahead of Season 4 Reloaded ActivisionWarzone players are once again frustrated with the battle royale\u2019s hacker situation, claiming that the average player is just \u201cfood for cheaters\u201d ahead of Season 4 Reloaded.
