Warzone & Vanguard players relieved to learn hacker-filled Beta isn\u2019t using new anti-cheat ActivisionCall of Duty: Vanguard and Warzone players alike have been a little freaked out by the amount of hackers overrunning Vanguard\u2019s Beta \u2014 but there\u2019s some good news. As shared by a reputable insider, the actual anti-cheat hasn\u2019t been deployed yet. The CoD hacking situation is a fiery one. While the franchise\u2019s titles were relatively unscathed in earlier years, the transition to crossplay with PC has meant a lot more hackers, most notably impacting the Warzone community and CDL Challengers. So there\u2019s a lot riding on Vanguard\u2019s release, since it\u2019s supposed to bring a new anti-cheat that CoD\u2019s devs are very, very confident in. But Vanguard\u2019s Beta is here and there has been no dropoff in hackers, leaving many concerned that the anti-cheat is not living up to its hype. Cue insider Tom Henderson, who comforted everyone and spilled the beans: no, the Beta isn\u2019t using the upcoming anti-cheat. For those wondering why there’s so many hackers in the #Vanguard Beta, it’s because the Beta is using the exact same anti-cheat as Warzone (which has been compromised). New anti-cheat will be coming once Vanguard releases, but it’s definitely concerning seeing so many hackers. \u2014 Tom Henderson (@_Tom_Henderson_) September 20, 2021 As Henderson explains, the Vanguard Beta isn\u2019t using the new anti-cheat. Instead, it\u2019s still on Warzone\u2019s system, which unfortunately \u201chas been compromised\u201d (to put it lightly). While many remain skeptical about the upcoming security system, there\u2019s still some optimism and generally seems to be some relief that Vanguard\u2019s anti-cheat isn\u2019t the one getting torched during the Beta. There are a lot of hackers and that\u2019s not ideal, but it would be even worse if the new anti-cheat had been cracked that quickly. So this is a good news and bad news situation \u2014 the good news: there\u2019s still hope for Vanguard\u2019s anti-cheat, the bad news: man, cheaters have had a field day with the current security measures. Wait this cheater had walls in the Vanguard Beta and when we called him out he made the whole game end. I’m actually mindblowd! pic.twitter.com\/2rz9ARSOVd \u2014 EasyStomps (@EasyStomps) September 19, 2021 So far, the hacker situation in Warzone and the Vanguard Beta has continued to be a mess. The latter has only existed for a couple weeks, but hackers are already ending games on a whim and selling cheats at absurdly cheap prices. But, sometimes you\u2019ve got to look on the bright side. It\u2019s annoying that there are hackers running rampant and that an effective anti-cheat isn\u2019t already available, but at least we\u2019ll be moving on from this compromised anti-cheat for a new (and hopefully better) one in November.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
