Appealing a ban in Warzone is a pretty straightforward process, and if you haven't done anything wrong, you can be assured that it will be lifted. The game's recent ban wave resulted in thousands of players getting banned. Although most of them were guilty of violating Call of Duty's terms of service and code of conduct, some were falsely banned.

If you believe you have been banned through no fault of your own, keep reading for a brief guide on how to appeal your ban in Warzone.

Step-by-step guide to appealing a false ban in Warzone

To appeal a false ban in Warzone, follow these steps:

First, head over to the official Activision ban appeal website.
Then, click on 'Login to Continue' and proceed to enter your login credentials for your Activision account.
Once logged in, verify that you are not a bot by clicking on the box below.
Now, select 'Continue'.
Then, click on 'Agree and Continue' on the pop-up box.
Enter your details and select the game you were banned in.
Next, in the 'Additional Details' box, provide all the essential information, such as the platform you play the game on, the date of ban, your ID, your proof of innocence, and more.
Once your appeal letter is ready, click on 'Submit'.

That's it. Call of Duty's moderation team will now verify your information and check if you are eligible to receive a ban lift.

Please note that you will not be able to appeal temporary bans or shadow bans in Warzone.

Once the moderation team goes through your account, you can expect to receive one of the three statuses on your ban appeal:

Appeal accepted: Your ban will be lifted.
Appeal rejected: You are permanently banned.
Further investigation needed: You will need to provide more information to the team as requested.

False bans aren't uncommon in the game, and you could receive one as well. Hence, it is essential to make sure that you are not violating Call of Duty's code of conduct or terms of service.

That covers everything that you need to know to appeal a ban in Warzone. Please note that your ban appeal may be rejected if it is found that your account was used to cheat in the game. However, if you have proof that your account was compromised and you weren't using it, you may have a chance at your ban being lifted.
