- Activision released another report on cheaters in CoD: Warzone;
- Since the release of the game in March 2020, almost half a million cheater s have been permabanned;
- Additionally, 45 thousand s sold on the black market were blocked.
Activision's battle against cheaters in Call of Duty: Warzone continues. In a report on the progress made by the developers when it comes to tracking down and removing cheaters from the game, it was reported that so far 475,000 s have been banned in Warzone.
The latest wave of bans on April 12 was the seventh largest since the big purge in February. Activision stresses that in addition to mass bans, their compliance teams weed out cheaters on a daily basis.
In addition, developers are monitoring and catching people distributing rogue software, as well as banning s that are resold on the black market. This is to reduce the transfer of cheayers to new s. To date, 45 thousand s of this type used by cheaters have been banned.
The developers have shared what has been done at this point. As the report reads:
As we’ve mentioned previously, we’ve increased our efforts in several key areas:
- Utilizing 2-factor authentication to make it harder to access new s simply to cheat
- Ramping-up additional resources to our security and enforcement teams
- Increased frequency of high-volume banwaves in addition to our daily banning of repeat offending s
- Improving regular communications and updates.
As the developers assure us, the team's priority is to ensure players have a fair and enjoyable experience. The battle continues, but at least we can see that the developers are aware of the scale of the problem in Warzone. You can read the entire anti-cheat report here.
