Call of Duty Warzone has been plagued with hackers since its release. The free nature of the game makes it so that hackers can just make new accounts if and when the old ones are banned. As a result, this issue is still highly prevalent in Call of Duty.

Streamer banned from both Warzone and Black Ops Cold War

Recently, Call of Duty streamer named kd1pp was banned by Activision live on stream. He is known for using hacks and showcasing them to his fans. The streamer was in a game of Warzone on Rebirth Island.

After missing a sniper shot, he instantly mowed down the player with immense accuracy while using an MP5 from long range. Not something you see every day. Seconds later, he disconnected from the game and received the message about hacking software being detected.

So far, Activision has banned close to 100,00 accounts in 2021 itself. Following YouTuber Vikkstarr quitting the game in January, developers have made it their mission to ensure Call of Duty players are on a level playing field. Recently, on March 16, Raven Software announced another ban wave. This time, 30,000 more cheaters were offloaded from the game.
