Raven Software has been busy. Besides creating new content, staying updated on glitches and bugs, and keeping up against other battle royales, the company also has to fight a never-ending war against cheaters. And this might be its most important battle; dozens of streamers and thousands of gamers have left Warzone for other games. The main complaint? Too many cheaters.
Raven Software hasn’t taken this lying down. In just over a week, Raven Software has banned over 150,000 cheaters. It started with 100,000 last week, then an additional 50,000 players were banned on Wednesday.
This is not a drill: If you cheat, we are coming for you ?

And to keep the PR train rolling, Activision published the above tweet which highlights a video of cheater rushman360 showing off the dirty work. The anti-cheat program is working so well, rushman360 couldn’t even log into his other accounts, ones he had yet to play. All of them were banned.
This is a massively important step as the main problem with cheating isn’t necessarily finding cheaters – that’s the easy part. It’s stopping them from creating a new account and doing it all over again. And for free-to-play games, this is easy to do. If an anti-cheat can figure out the connected accounts, essentially banning the hardware, then there’s a chance at stopping the flood of cheaters.
