Two Call of Duty: Warzone cheaters were banned from Twitch after the actress behind the character Mara called them on Twitter.
Mara is a Warcom operator character in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Warzone, which was released as part of the battle pass during the Infinity Ward sniper first season in December 2019.
Guess who?! ?

The actress behind Mara is Alex Zedra, who accessed Twitter to expose two cheaters – a couple of boyfriend and girlfriend – who used aimbots in a Warzone tournament played on Friday, March 12.
Zedra was warned of suspicious gameplay after hosting one of the streamers in question at the end of a Twitch stream – and copied Twitch in her tweet along with the gameplay.

The clip shows a very obvious betrayal in Warzone, and it didn’t take long for others to discover incriminating clips of her boyfriend’s gameplay as well.
LANGUAGE NOTICE IN THE CLIP BELOW:

Both channels are now listed as suspended and it appears that both have deleted their Twitter accounts. Zedra later thanked Twitch for acting quickly.
Thanks @Muscular contraction for banning the most toxic hackers I have encountered in my 5 years of experience on this platform. I’m glad I could witness him being banned live after being called a bitch and the 1v1 as they are shamelessly hacking.

Warzone has a reputation for cheating, of course, what has been chasing the phenomenally successful Battle Royale since its launch in March 2020.
Despite Activision’s best efforts, cheating persists in the game – and even causes some console players to disable multiplatform gaming in an attempt to avoid cheaters on the PC.
Cast of Eurogamer news: what the Xbox Bethesda exclusives mean for the future.
Last month, Activision said it had banned 60,000 accounts for cheating in the war zone and had issued more than 300,000 Permabans worldwide for accounts since launch.
The news followed growing pressure from the Call of Duty community, and came shortly after two high-level Call of Duty streamers announced that they had given up on the game for cheating.
Activision faces an uphill battle against war zone cheaters – and it’s a war that spans many games. His anti-cheat effort is underway with Warzone, Black Ops Cold War and Modern Warfare, and will undoubtedly continue with the launch of subsequent games in the Call of Duty series.
