Warzone players frustrated by return of “cheating nuke teams” ruining the game

Call of Duty: Warzone players lament “cheating nuke teams” have returned with the launch of the Champion’s Quest feature.

Raven Software brought back Champion’s Quest for Warzone with the launch of Season 1 Reloaded. However, the Reloaded patch introduced a slew of unexpected issues, which forced the team to temporarily disable the nuke quest.

Fortunately, this particular bit of content didn’t remain out of commission for very long. Not everyone’s happy about the state of things now that the quest has returned, though.

Having the opportunity to use the nuke requires a lot of work. For example, users must secure five consecutive wins or earn 30 wins in a season to unlock Champion’s Quest. Unsurprisingly, cheaters have already found ways to bypass the overall challenge.

Call of Duty cheaters wasted no time utilizing aimbots, wallhacks, and the like to get ahead and blast their way through the Champion’s Quest.

Players are wasting no time calling them out, either. One Reddit user shared their experience in a recent thread, noting that they “just got railed through smoke with no opportunity for a ping by a level 11 on the nuke team trying to plant.” Unfortunately for the Redditor, the nuke ended up going off.

Because the cheater’s name was “unfindable after the game,” the original poster couldn’t report the behavior.

According to other people in the thread, this isn’t exactly a mild issue. “Cheaters are running wild right now,” reads a reply from one player.

Several users chimed in to say they’ve also encountered Warzone cheaters who were able to use the nuke. One such comment states, “Was just in a game with cheaters who got the nuke. All walling, aimbotting and had names like ‘yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy’…”

Another Call of Duty fan wants Activision to let console players share lobbies without crossplay, as that could be a solution for some segments of the audience. “If they would allow Console lobbies to merge when crossplay is turned off, this wouldn’t be an issue,” they wrote.

Cheaters are also running rampant in Modern Warfare 3, according to multiple Reddit users. At this point, it seems fans have no confidence that the problem will ever truly be solved.
