People will do anything to secure a win in their favourite battle Royale game and Modern Warfare Warzone is facing problems due to hackers on PC. While this problem would only affect PC gamers in other games, Warzone comes with a cross-play feature that lets console gamers play with PC players as well. However, the game is now flooded with hackers that use aimbots and wallhacks to know the position of every player in the map and automatically aim to get over 50 kills in games. Hackers are able to automatically hit enemy heads, shoot through walls and play without recoil and are not getting any ban in return.

Even though the developer has banned 70,000 accounts that were using these hacks, the numbers are increasing exponentially.
