Call of Duty Warzone pulled the ban wave for the third time in its history. Today Raven Software banned 60,000 Warzone players at once for hacking the game. Since the game’s launch they have issued a total of 300,000 permabans worldwide.

In its blog post on the issue, Activision provides the following points where it is increasing its “efforts and capabilities“. Take a look.

• Enhancements to our internal anti-cheat software
• Additional detection technology
• Adding new resources dedicated to monitoring and enforcement
• Regular communication updates on progress; more two-way dialogue
• Zero tolerance for cheat providers
• Consistent and timely bans

Therefore, Activision is still technically only enhancing its “internal cheat software”. However, they do not have one in place inside a game that has millions of players worldwide. In fact, Modern Warfare and Warzone have both been out for a considerable amount of time with no anti-cheats. All of this is rather unexpected from a billion dollar company with multiple popular gaming titles up its sleeve.

However, Vikkstar quitting Warzone made a lot of noise in the community. Some believe it prompted Activision’s to initiate its third ban wave. Nonetheless, Twitter was full of animated reactions on the issue.

Popular streamer Cloakzy might be busy with Valorant currently, but did not hesitate once before taking a dig at Raven Software.

We are not sure if this next tweet is from one of the blatant cheaters on streaming platforms, but he sure was not appreciative of Activision’s efforts.

Vikkstar’s exit from Warzone and the 60k ban soon after even got the BBC riled up.

The over 80 million Warzone community did not seem satisfied with the ban spree. Some even claimed that they are still getting hackers inside Verdansk. Permabans might look tough, but all hackers do is create another account with the same hacks.

This is the first time Call of Duty is openly addressing the cheating issue. Therefore, there is hope that in 2021 the most popular FPS shooter in the world will ultimately gather enough resources to employ an anti-cheat.
