Call of Duty: Warzone fans are frustrated with a new cheating tactic that has become quite rampant, where hackers send a message in the game chat claiming they will crash the game, and within a few moments, the servers are taken offline. Players have reported witnessing this several times right after dropping onto the map, which is preventing them from playing Call of Duty: Warzone altogether.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is just around the corner, and fans are eagerly waiting to see what the game has to offer. The developers are also actively taking note of player feedback from the beta stages, as they have outlined several changes they are planning to implement in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 based on that input. With the release of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, Warzone will also get integrated with the game, but ahead of that, fans are expressing their concerns over a lingering issue.

In a new post on the CODWarzone subreddit, user ltvdriver highlights how severe the cheating issue in Warzone has become lately. Apparently, hackers are now able to crash the entire server. The user added that hackers first drop a message in the chat that they will crash the server, along with a link to their Discord server. Shortly after that, all players get kicked out of the game altogether.

Cheaters are now advertising by telling everyone they are going to crash the server in game chat, linking their discord, then crashing the server (it crashed about 30 seconds after drop)

This doesn't seem to be a one-off thing, as many other players have reported that they have been facing this quite frequently now. While a lot of fans think that hackers would do it out of frustration after losing a match, some suggest that there is a purpose behind that. Hackers have been actually using it to unlock the Champion's Quest Nuke Challenge in Warzone, which requires players to win five matches in a row or 30 games in a season. It is considered one of the most difficult challenges in the game by far.

Fans have been increasingly frustrated with Warzone's anti-cheat system, with some even claiming that known cheaters have gone unbanned for years. It's been a while since the new Warzone anti-cheat was released, but the developers have released several improvements for it in recent times. Just a few weeks ago, the developers incorporated measures to remove cheaters from Warzone lobbies even before the start of the match. Fans are now hoping that the release of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 will also bring further improvements to the anti-cheat system.
