One of the most-watched Call of Duty: Warzone streamers on Twitch has himself a bit of a problem. TimTheTatman is getting followed around by a Call of Duty: Warzone hacker who doesn't appear interested in match wins, as much as he is in annoying the popular personality.
Hackers and cheaters are nothing new in Call of Duty: Warzone. They have, in fact, been a problem for people like TimTheTatman since the game first launched. However, the recent harassment suffered by the streamer - who is also well known for playing Fall Guys - appears to be somewhat unique precisely because the hacker is far more interested in causing problems than winning matches.

During a recent livestream, TimTheTatman was gunning for a personal best in Call of Duty: Warzone kills, with 30. He was rather close to accomplishing the goal until the hacker appeared. It turns out this is hardly the first time this player popped up in one of the streamer's sessions. TimTheTatman claims the player is using different usernames in order to avoid getting banned by the Twitch personality.
On top of everything else, the player appears to be using some Call of Duty: Warzone cheats that have gotten around fixes the developers put in place. That means the harasser could very easily win the games in which they pop in. But that wasn't the aim of this particular drop-in. Instead, the player came into the game just long enough to kill TimTheTatman. Once that task was done, the user left the match entirely, leaving the rest of the streamer's team unharmed.
Because TimTheTatman was streaming the match on his Twitch stream, everything that happened was captured. This is also why the personality was able to make it clear this isn't the first time this person has come gunning for him and only him. While some found the issue somewhat humorous, others did point out that the cheater underlined an ongoing problem inside Call of Duty: Warzone. Despite the many anti-cheat efforts that have been made by the developers, this kind of situation still happens to well-known and average players alike.
It's not clear why TimTheTatman has been singled out by this particular player. The Twitch streamer is known as being somewhat controversial in the community. He's also thought of as someone who has a bit of a temper. While the player has not said why they have picked on him, some in his chat believe that is part of why he's been targeted.
Call of Duty: Warzone is available now on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
