Our security teams monitor 24/7 to investigate data and identify potential infractions.
The teams review all possible cheats and hacks, this includes identifying use of aimbots, wallhacks and more.
We’re working to improve our in-game system for reporting potential cheating. Plans are underway to streamline the UI for a more seamless reporting experience.
For all reports that are received in-game, they are both analyzed and filtered based on key data.
Once investigations are complete, we will continue to work as quickly as possible to ban.
Warzone currently has 50 million players and has been incredibly successful but it needs to deal with cheaters in order to not turn away players who play fair and square. It seems Activision knows that and is working hard on dealing with those who use cheats/mods.
Simply put there’s no place for cheating. We recognize that there’s no single solution for combating cheaters, it’s a constant enforcement every day, 24/7. Rest assured, we’re committed to ensuring a fun and fair experience for everyone.
