AlthoughCall of Duty: Warzonehas a number of issues that fans agree need to be patched out - such asoverpowered vehicles- one of the biggest criticisms levied against the title is its overabundance of hackers. A number of suspicious videos have surfaced on social media recently that hint that many of the game’s players are managing to cheat their way to victory, allowing them to have infinite ammo and avoid enemy fire through dubious means.
A great example comes from a recent Twitter video posted by Lance Pitcher, who seemingly outs a player for utilizing an unlimited health hack mid-game. The footage is undeniable proof that hackers are currently a major problem withinCall of Duty: Warzone, as Pitcher and his friends fire hundreds of rounds into the opposite player as he stands there completely unphased.

The footage begins with Pitcher going up against his invincible enemy, firing an entire clip into him before retreating to heal up. He then returns to the battlefield to see his entiresquadalso unloading on their adversary to no avail, as he stands in the line of fire picking off Pitcher’s teammates one by one. The player then manages to sneak up behind the hacker, stealthily getting an assassination on him that should result in a devastating final blow. Yet, against all the odds, his foe pops right back up to his feet, continuing to fire away at Pitcher’s team and successfully killing them all.
Sadly, Pitcher’s first-hand account of hackers ruining his match is far from rare when it comes toCall of Duty: Warzone.Many other users have recounted times they’ve come face to face with enemies using shady means to secure a victory, with most of the game’s community calling for measures to be put in place to prevent hackers from spreading throughout the game.

However it does it, Activision should look into sorting this problem before it becomes a major concern forWarzone’swide community.

It has recentlyamassed over 30 million players worldwide, with many praising the title as being the next huge release to stand alongside the likes ofApex LegendsandFortniteas one of the genre’s all-time best.
