Warzone was full of cheaters until Raven Software added the Ricochet anti-cheat software to the game. While it definitely had an impact and reduced the swarming cheaters in every lobby, there are still multiple well-known cheats running around in Caldera, going unnoticed.
However, the circumstances are different for casual cheaters in the game when compared to pros who decide to cheat during big money tournaments. During a recent $100,000 tournament, Warzone pro "Shifty" was accused of cheating.
While the accusations were not proven, Shifty went on to grab quite some money after placing third in the tournament. Nonetheless, a few clips have emerged from his Twitch streams, which are definitely suspicious.
Shifty's Warzone tournament clip raises suspicions of aim-bot from pro players
Despite Shifty placing third in the tournament, many players raised questions after a suspicious clip emerged in which his crosshairs locked on to a player he was not initially aiming at.
Self-proclaimed cheater police, 100T Tommey dropped his two cents on the issue as well. According to the pro, this clip is not enough to determine if Shifty was cheating in the tournament. Tommey believes the frame drop through the OBS might make it look suspicious but does not rule away cheating as an option altogether.
The Minnesota ROKKR pro Blazt was, however, the most worked up character after the clip surfaced. He was found yelling on his stream after his chat called him out for making excuses during the tournament. He even slowed down the clip to watch the crosshair shift in slow motion and claimed that it was bare evidence of a person using an aim-bot
Shifty has also previously been accused of cheating by the community, but he has never really spoken about the issue. YouTuber Badboy Beaman made an entire video of the drama as it unfolded on Blazt's stream. He also included a few instances from the past when Shifty was accused of cheating in the game.
It is unclear at this point if Shifty indeed cheated in the tournament, but more intel on the issue can be expected if officials look into the clips or if Shifty gets banned from the game.
