The developers of CoD Warzone declare (again) the fight against cheaters. A new video now even goes so far as to publicly pillory a known cheater who was caught cold by the last wave of bans. However, this declaration of war loses some of its menace, because the cheater in question just keeps on cheating.

What happened?

Cheaters and hackers have always been a serious problem of Call of Duty: Warzone, which Activision still can’t seem to get a handle on. Every few months, reports made the rounds that thousands of cheaters were once again banned from the Battle Royale. For Warzone itself, however, this is always a drop in the bucket, as many cheaters simply create new, free accounts.

That’s why Activision Blizzard resorted to more drastic measures in August 2021: At the latest from this point on, Warzone seems to rely on hardware bans. This means that the game recognizes a PC and even its individual components and locks it out of Call of Duty. So it’s no use for a banned player to get a new account, as it will automatically be kicked out again.

We already reported that this change caused an uproar among cheaters and hackers – and Call of Duty is now going further on the offensive.

Combat announcement against cheaters

With a new promotional clip, the developers show themselves confident of victory: in a short video clip, the official Twitter account promises that they will “hold cheaters accountable”. And in the process, one of the most well-known Warzone cheaters is publicly pilloried: Rushman360.

The video picks up on a clip of the infamous cheater that made the rounds on TikTok in mid-August. In it, Rushman360 revealed to his “fans” that all of his CoD accounts had been hit by the ban wave and expressed cynical congratulations to Activision Blizzard.

However, there is a catch: Since Rushman360 posted the original clip, he’s been brazenly cheating again. And this, of course, in Warzone. On social media, you can already find various videos and streams that have been published by the hacker since then.

To be fair, it should be noted at this point that it was never entirely clear for what specific reason Rushman360’s accounts were kicked out of Warzone. Some players already suspected that it might not necessarily have been due to Activision Blizzard’s new measures, but a bug in the cheat software.

It is also unclear whether Rushman360 was actually affected by a hardware ban: According to PCGamer, many of the most popular cheat programs have a function that protects one’s hardware ID from being detected. However, it cannot be ruled out that Rushman360 is specifically trying to mislead here – or that the hacker is finding new ways and means to cheat in Warzone.

Either way, it remains exciting to see how Warzone’s fight against its cheaters will continue. After all, a completely new anti-cheat system is supposed to hit with Call of Duty: Vanguard, which should finally solve this problem for the Battle Royale as well.
