Call of Duty’s official social accounts openly taunted “pissed off cheaters” in a video published on Tuesday.

The video highlights the efforts publisher Activision is taking to combat cheating in Call of Duty Warzone, which has been a major issue in the game since launch, to the extent that a new anti-cheat system is being marketed as one of the key features of the next premium Call of Duty game.

Last week it was announced that another 100,000 players had been banned from Warzone in the publisher’s latest action. And now, its new video warns: “We know what you’re doing. We’re coming for you”

The video contains what it claims is “a real reaction” from Warzone player ‘Rushman360‘, who says he had all of his accounts banned for cheating “without even playing it”. The user then goes on to claim that he’s glad the bans happened, as it suggests Activision is taking Warzone cheating more seriously.

“This is not a drill: If you cheat, we are coming for you,” the official Call of Duty Twitter account wrote. “Banwaves are ongoing, and PC anti-cheat is arriving in Warzone later this year.”

Warzone’s PC anti-cheat system will be introduced later this year, following the release of Call of Duty: Vanguard and a brand new game map.

Activision has now issued over 600,000 Warzone permabans since the free-to-play shooter launched in March 2020.

The company claimed in February that it was dedicating resources “24/7 to identify and combat cheats, including aimbots, wallhacks, trainers, stat hacks, texture hacks, leaderboard hacks, injectors, hex editors and any third party software that is used to manipulate game data or memory”.
