While Call of Duty: Warzone is making significant improvements to weapon balancing, one area that remains an issue is cheating. Unfortunately, Call of Duty: Warzone hacks could only be getting more bothersome soon, as a player has fallen victim to a more devastating version of aimbotting.

Aimbot hacks are one of the most common ways that players cheat in Call of Duty: Warzone, as the software is widespread on the PC platform. Aimbots allow players to instantly lock onto a target with complete accuracy, with their gun tracking directly to the opponent. When up against an aimbotter, players are at a severe disadvantage, having no real chance of victory. With Call of Duty: Warzone being cross-play, too, these hacks are easily spread to console versions as well, meaning that no battle royale fans are safe from aimbots.

While some players use aimbots while streaming Call of Duty: Warzone, others are simply using them to get cheap kills and wins. Redditor GigaSnake encountered someone in the latter category, as their hacks were far too obvious to fake being legitimate. Instead of the usual aimbot, the player was seen using “Silent Aim” hacks. A more sophisticated version of aimbot, these hacks are even more broken, as players do not even need to look in the direction of the person that they kill.

As shown in GigaSnake’s clip, they were sniped out of the sky, with the player plummeting toward the ground at an rapid pace. While they may have been expecting to see an impressive kill with one of Call of Duty: Warzone’s Sniper Rifles, they instead saw a hacker shooting randomly in different directions. Not even aiming down the sights, the cheater fires in four specific spots, hitting the ground on three different occasions. With the fourth shot, they fire in GigaSnake’s direction, dropping them from the sky without even aiming.

As highlighted by fellow Redditor and Call of Duty: Warzone player Ditdr, this is an example of silent aim. Calling the hack a “big deal” because it is “intercepting and modifying server packets,” Ditdr believes it is “game over” if these hacks are available. Each shot where the player randomly hit the ground was likely them locking onto an enemy, with the environment saving the targeted players from a cheap death. With GigaSnake in the air and having no natural cover, though, they were killed instantly by the stray shots. Based on what was shown, the cheater would be unstoppable unless they were flanked and dropped quickly.

While Call of Duty: Warzone’s ban milestone is impressive, removing half a million accounts is clearly not enough. While players have suggested everything from shutting off cross-play to banning IP addresses instead of accounts, it remains to be seen if more action will be taken.

Call of Duty: Warzone is available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
