To get confirmation, Nmplol asked the nearby players if they could hear him via proximity chat. Out of nowhere, a player hurled racial slurs, which stunned the streamer.
The One True King member shared his thoughts on the toxic in-game experience, saying:
"Holy s**t! Never changes, does it?"

Nmplol encounters a racist player in Warzone 2, shares his thoughts on the toxic interaction
Nmplol wanted to check his microphone at the one-hour mark of the December 1 broadcast. He asked the in-game players if they could hear him and inquired:
"Hello! Can anyone hear me? Is my mic... is it working? Hello?"
At that moment, a player used the N-word several times, which caught the 31-year-old off guard. Nick immediately muted the in-game audio and reacted:
"Well, that's a quick mute! That is a quick, quick, quick, quick, mute! Quick mute, and I'm dead. Call of Duty never senses [ceases] to exist or senses [ceases] to impress me."

Nmplol then suggested that the first-person title "never changes." He continued further by saying:
"All right, that's a quick mute! Quick mute. So the real question is, was my mic working or not? That is the real question. I think it was. Yes."
A few moments later, the Austin, Texas-based content creator noticed a viewer comment that Warzone was like this "all day." Nick responded:
"Yeah, we're good. Let's play. Holy s**t! 'This is Warzone all day.' This is the world, bro."
