Cheaters Are Not Welcome to Play Call of Duty: Vanguard Confirms an Analyst
Follow Us
The widespread news of the anti-cheat system being bogged by pay-wall has definitely distressed the community. Activision announced the release of a brand new title, Call of Duty: Vanguard in August. And this opened the floodgates for outcry as Warzone players would need to buy the title to gain access to the anti-cheat system.
More reports from the insider suggest that things aren’t going to be so smooth for cheaters. Players who have incurred hardware and account bans in Warzone won’t be invited to play Vanguard. This is certainly a step in the right direction, as it will prevent existing cheaters from taking over the next major release.

If you are currently banned in Call of Duty: Warzone – including hardware or account banned – you are banned from playing Call of Duty: Vanguard.
For those in the cheats Discords/forums etc. asking why, I think it's pretty obvious why. But thought I'd let you know.

Twitter Reacts to Warzone cheaters being banned from Vanguard
Naturally, fans flock to the thread to talk about the recent update and how things will work in the game. However, this fan pointed to one of the curious ways that hackers can circumvent the ban.
Anyway to get account back If someone hacked your account, linked their modded account, and used cheats on it? I’ve try to file for appeals and tickets but nothing works

A cheat engine is used to hack into game files and tweak numbers within the title. This amounts to cheating and hacking, which merits a ban even if the app is open on your system. This fan tried to justify the use of the application, which puts him right on the radar of a potential hacker.
Considering battle net auto bans any game that’s opened while Cheat engine is also opened, Cheat engine being totally harmless to multiplayer games and just a numerical editor, that’s such a dumbass move lol. So many people are account banned on MW19 from similar things

Another offered a rather interesting standpoint that states mods shouldn’t amount to a permanent ban. The community makes use of these things for various titles to add interesting fan-made content.
Some mods for other games can trigger an anti cheat for games. It’s happened in the past. Not just cod. They do have a point. If cod anti cheat gets triggered coz off a half life 2 mod. Then that anti cheat ain’t doing a good job.
