New cheat tool can now reportedly shadowban Black Ops 6 and Warzone players

As mentioned, a new cheat tool can reportedly get legit players banned in Black Ops 6 and Warzone. According to reports, this cheat uses the in-game player reporting system. With the press of a button, it can send over 100 reports to Call of Duty servers, potentially resulting in the innocent player getting instantly showbanned.

Players can be reported for cheating, offensive text and voice chat, text spam, and much more. The cheat tool also offers the ability to send 100 reports for each of these causes.

Several popular content creators and Call of Duty professionals have raised this issue. Warzone pro and content creator Aydan previously claimed legitimate players are shadowbanned more than actual cheaters. This is certainly a major issue. Cheating in Black Ops 6 and Warzone has become worse recently. Many in the community claim that Warzone has been in its worst state since the early days of Verdansk.

The situation has apparently become so dire now that players like FaZe Swagg and Nadeshot have decided to step away from the games for a while.

Call of Duty acknowledged these issues and is reportedly working to improve its anti-cheat at the kernel level. These updates are expected to arrive with the Season 2 update.
