The developer is taking a step forward in cracking down onCall of Duty: Warzonecheaters once and for all, and while some players celebrate Activision’s measures, others remain pessimistic, believing cheaters will eventually return to the game.
TheCall of Dutygames have always struggled with players trying to gain an unfair advantage by using programs that grant them illicit abilities. The release ofCall of Duty’s Ricochet anti-cheat systemwas part of Activision’s plan to push back against cheaters, and while the system successfully took down several cheat providers, many others emerged, and the problem persisted. In December, the studio assured players that it would address the cheating issue in Seasons 2 and 3 by implementing new technology to catch hackers more effectively, and now it seems to be yielding results.
Twitter user LunchTime informed the community that Activision has shut down cheat providers GCAIMX, Suave, ZZ’S, and MoneyMan ahead ofCall of Duty: Warzone’s Verdansk return. Many players welcomed the news, feeling relieved that Activision is finally cracking down on hackers. However, some believe cheat providers will come back under different names, while others think that, although this is a good step, there are still many more cheat providers that need to be shut down before the game is free of them.
Activision Takes Down Four More Call of Duty: Warzone Cheat Providers
Activision is actively working topush back against cheaters across variousCall of Dutygames, includingBlack Ops 6, where the studio recently confirmed it was implementing new measures to combat hackers in the Ranked Play mode. Players have repeatedly expressed frustration over cheaters, as they undermine the gameplay experience. Recently, many reported that hackers were disconnecting players from matches, allowing them to secure victory once they had removed every player from the opposing team.
Activision continues its efforts to address this complex issue, reporting over 65,000cheating accounts banned fromWarzoneandModern Warfare 3in August 2024, as well as more than 136,000 cheaters banned inCall of Duty: Black Ops 6since the launch of Ranked Play.

Whether Activision will finally manage to significantly reduce the number of cheat providers remains to be seen, but its latest actions indicate a promising future.
