Call of Duty: Warzone Bans over 60,000 cheaters

by
Activision has begun banning the Call of Duty Warzone cheaters in what is supposedly one of the biggest waves of ban ever for the game. This time, the company banned more than 60,000 cheaters in the last fall of its steel hammer, according to Vice, which learned of this wave of bans from three sources familiar with Activision. This is the third big wave of bans since the game’s release last year. More than 50,000 players were banned in the first wave last April and another 20,000 last September.This ban comes just one day after the popular broadcast from the war zone, Vikkstar123, announced that he would no longer play the game, as noted by the Vice. It echoed feelings found throughout the Warzone streaming community at a time when the game is in the worst state it has ever been due to hackers and cheaters.

Sources close to Vice said that this wave of banning targeted cheaters using EngineOwning, as all EngineOwning account holders using in-game cheating software have been “eliminated”. On the EngineOwning website, the cheat developers say they are working to update the cheat, according to Vice.

Meanwhile, the EngineOwning Discord channel is full of upset account owners because their accounts have been banned by Activision.

This wave of banning came out of nowhere, considering that Activision previously warned of wave of banning before actually throwing the hammer in earlier instances. Activision at the time defined the software it considered worth banning and included “aimbots, wallhacks, coaches, statistics hacks, texture hacks, leaderboard hacks, injectors, hexadecimal editors or any software used to deliberately modify game data or memory” .
