Call of Duty: Warzone seems to be slowly falling into the abyss many multiplayer games have been to before.

A good example is CS: GO, whose players started leaving the game because Valve's anti-hack security started to fail. Later, Valorant offered a better alternative. Hackers and cheaters had flooded CS: GO to the extent that some even made it to pro tournaments.

Warzone is currently showing similar signs, and the player base seems distraught at how casually Raven Software and Activision are treating the scenario. The available Warzone hacks are evolving and getting better regarding anti-detection and more fatal for legit players.

Soft hacks are sometimes undetectable as the players do a great job of hiding them. Hackers sometimes use aimbot hacks to lock their aim onto enemy players automatically. Many pros have been accused of using aimbots when they were just showcasing high-skill gameplay.

However, hackers in Warzone have upgraded, and they are not afraid of Activision anymore. They can simply come back with the same hacks via a new profile.

New Warzone hack that requires no aim is getting popular

Silent Aim is the new hack gaining traction in Verdansk. It is simply an evolved iteration of the aimbot hack, but it does not require players to actually aim.

All that cheaters have to do is shoot in the player's general direction, and all the bullets will register. A video on Call of Duty: Warzone's subreddit showed one player spectating the hacker using Silent Aim.

In the clip, the hacker never aims, shoots at the ground, goes in circles while shooting, but can still land the shots on the last remaining enemy to win the match.

While Raven Software claims to have banned 500,000 profiles of cheaters, more such clips surface daily.

Below is a video of a hacker who shot a player in the sky effortlessly.

This is unacceptable, and if Warzone continues to be riddled with hackers and cheaters in every lobby, the future of this title might be bleak.
