Within the constantly changing world of Call of Duty: Warzone, the players have recently been facing an all-too-familiar issue: the resurgence of rage hackers. The return of these disruptive elements has stirred up the title's community.

"Rage hackers" typically refer to groups or individuals engaged in hacking activities with an aggressive and intense approach. It generally involves individuals who cheat very blatantly and use features like spinbot, anti-aim, aimbot, no recoil, etc.

Streamer @Symfuhny uploaded a video on X of his player, mid-air and vulnerable, falling victim to an instantaneous demise. The culprit is, of course, a hacker armed with an aim so precise that it only hints at the use of aim assist. Symfuhny captioned the post:

"It’s Verdansk all over again"

The developers have yet to announce anything about the system after the incident; however, the complexity of the issue is not lost on them, and the battle against cheats and hacks is an ongoing one.
