Activision recently announced a PC anti-cheat feature for COD: Warzone that might fix a major issue in the game. Hackers and cheaters had been ruining the game for long and PC players will finally have some relief. However, while it lasted, over half a million players tried hacking.

Out of the half-million players who were banned for cheating in COD: Warzone, some were popular streamers. In fact, these streamers were caught cheating in the game while livestreaming and were banned shortly afterward.

Streamers will hardly be able to cheat in COD: Warzone after the anti-cheat comes out. Therefore, these bans will certainly be memorable as Raven Software taught a fitting lesson to the streamers. Now, players can look back and have a nostalgic laugh about how some streamers thought they could get away with hacking on livestream.


COD: Warzone streamers caught cheating

1) yyyunggg

The COD: Warzone Twitch streamer was constantly called out by his fans after they noticed him using hacks. Surprisingly, he continued to stream with his hacks on amidst all the criticism he was getting.

In fact, yyyunggg didn't stop even after being called out by a well-known esports commentator like Alan 'Bricey' Brice. While the streamer was never banned in COD: Warzone, the embarrassment and criticism forced him to stop streaming on the platform and eventually erase all traces of his streaming before finally disappearing.


2) CPTBALDY

Veteran Call of Duty streamer J-GOD exposed CPTBALDY in a tweet after he found a suspicious clip from one of his streams. Initially, CPT denied the allegations. However, after getting banned on Twitch as well as in COD: Warzone, he said that he was trying to prove a point.

CPTBALDY said that Warzone was riddled with hackers and was unplayable. Therefore, he started hacking so that he could play the game with other hackers present.


3) IcyVixen and BeardedBanger

Alex Zedra, the actress behind Call of Duty: Modern Warfare's Mara got a real-life streaming couple banned by Twitch. Zedra is also a Twitch streamer and she found the couple streaming COD: Warzone while hacking and then bragging about it on their livestream.

Zedra sent a tweet to Activision and requested the developers to ban the hackers who were very angry after receiving their bans live on stream.


4) DavskaR

The Czech streamer and COD: Warzone players decided to hack in a $75,000 Twitch Rivals tournament and thought he would get away with it. Unfortunately, one too many players reported him for the highly suspicious gameplay.

Twitch ended up banning DavskaR and the Twitch partner permanently lost access to streaming on the popular platform.


1) MrGolds

This probably has to be one of the most infamous COD: Warzone streamer bans and MrGolds was extremely popular. However, he slipped up one day and ended up showing his cheat menu on stream.

MrGolds had been using hacks to give him a reduced recoil on his weapons. This helped him get famous as the streamer was really good at controlling the recoil of his weapons but that was certainly a scam. The COD: Warzone streamer soon lost his Twitch channel as a result of his hacking.
