How to report and report a cheater in Warzone

Tired of cheaters and Warzone cheats? Are you fed up with players taking advantage of bugs and glitches in the game? It's time to get the reporter out and denounce all those players who don't know how to play fair. We must put an end to this plague, and there is only one solution that apparently is not effective, but it will help to stop it.

How to know when someone is cheating in Warzone

Surely in more than one game of Warzone you have fallen defeated in the most unexpected way. Invisible players? Shots from hundreds of meters directly to the head? No doubt. You have been defeated by one of those cheats who use illegal programs and not very ethical tricks in order to win the game.

The only way to know exactly what happened before falling to the ground is to check the kill cam, or death camera, which is the repetition of the play just before dying. If you're playing Warzone, on your first kill you'll go straight to the gulaj, but on your last chance, you'll be able to keep an eye on the camera replay from the point of view of the player who killed you.

That's when you'll have to pay attention to learn what mistakes you've made, how you've been outplayed by your opponent, what move you've missed, or what gaps you've left unguarded. But it won't always be your mistake. On many occasions you will be able to verify that the rival player has simply been in front of your nose, however, since you are using an invisibility glitch it has not been possible for you to detect it.

Other times, you will be able to see how the targeting of the opponent occurs extremely quickly and accurately. Since sometimes the point of view changes very quickly from rival to rival in an apparently magnetic and automatic way. This obviously occurs because that player is using illegal programs that allow auto aiming and the ability to see the position of all players on the map. In the following video you will see a clear example of how this jump between aiming is produced, a movement that obviously no human could reproduce with such accuracy.

How to report a Warzone player

If you've detected any of these symptoms, the best thing you can do is report the behavior. It is useless to send messages and insult by direct messages. That is a completely disrespectful practice that serves no purpose, so the best thing you can do is inform the people who are in charge of controlling the players so that they can put order.

To do this, it is very important that at times when you suspect your death, you stay to check the death chamber to see what exactly has happened. Thus, you will be able to see exactly what has happened and, incidentally, you will be able to continue watching the game from the perspective of that player who has knocked you down, and thus be able to check if said misconduct is repeated.

In case that happens, you only have to press the Report player button that appears indicated at the bottom of the screen, under your player card. When you press the button, a menu will appear with the different options that you can choose to report on the practices of this user. Options available with the following:

• Abuse: The player may have been very rude through voice chat. He has insulted, threatened or behaved inappropriately.
• Traps: If you have noticed that the user might be using aimbots or any type of software or trick that is not allowed, you should select this option.
• Fraudulent Fellowship: Imagine that you enter a game in pairs or trios, and one of your teammates is dedicated to making your life miserable, ending your life or not collaborating with the team.
• Name offensive user: Many users try to use clever names to insult or reproduce bad words.
• offensive clan badge: In the same way as the name, the custom clan badge also gives some users the opportunity to be wildly creative (for bad).

What about the reports?

This is one of the biggest questions surrounding the Warzone reporting system. Many users have complained that Activision does not do much work in this regard, however, in the latest statements they have promised to give much more feedback in this regard, and lately they have not stopped announcing waves of bans, guaranteeing the elimination of more than 475.000 accounts in as long as Warzone has been running.

The problem is that receiving a ban, you only have to create a new Activision account to re-enter the game mode, so today it is quite difficult to stop this type of behavior, something that is especially twitching to all those players who want to play quietly and legally.

Can these types of players be avoided?

When a user makes use of glitches and bugs in the game itself, all that remains is to wait for Activision to release the appropriate updates to fix such problems. In the case of those who make use of aimbots and wallhacks, these players are only present on PC, since it is the only platform on which this type of mechanism can be installed.

The latter means that if you play from a console (PS4, Xbox One, PS5 or Xbox Series X/S), a good recommendation is to avoid cross-play, in order to prevent you from joining games where there are PC players. And it is that the problem, as you have been able to verify, goes beyond the advantage of using a keyboard and mouse or gamepad, since we are talking about using illegal software to make the games much more boring.

When should I report a player?

In the same way that some users play incorrectly with these illegal practices, you must also maintain good conduct when reporting a player. If your complaint is well-founded and correct, the information will be useful, but if you dedicate yourself to reporting for fun because you don't know how to lose, the only thing you will achieve is saturate the number of complaint requests, which will not help to carry out an effective job. when it comes to banning players who cheat. So please, in moderation.
