As the game is flooded with cheaters who are cheating the Warzone mode and causing problems for legitimate players, the company has taken drastic measures to limit them.
Cheaters use many techniques to win in the game. These include aimbots, wall hacks, trainers, stat hacks, texture hacks, leaderboard hacks, injectors, hex editors, as well as software that manipulates game data or memory.
