How to report Call of Duty players in Warzone & Vanguard

Not everything can go swimmingly in Call of Duty and you’ll occasionally run into some unruly players. Whether you think they’re hacking or cheating or they’re just being offensive and disruptive in the chat, you need to know how to report them in Vanguard and Warzone.

Life isn’t all rainbows and unicorns and the world sadly isn’t perfect. Call of Duty is a great getaway from the troubles of real life, but the toxicity of the community can cause just as many problems. In the old days, it just used to be a case of dealing with foul-mouthed 12-year-old kids.

Fast-forward to 2021, and CoD has to deal with a plethora of pesky hackers and cheaters interfering with games. Thankfully, both Warzone and Vanguard have the ability to report these players, and here’s how you can do it.
