Aimbot Anarchy One of the many great features in Activision’sCall of Duty: Warzoneis its crossplay functionality that allows both PC and console players to lock horns in the popular battle royale title. Unfortunately, an inevitable part of PC shooter culture is cheating, and said cheats are causing console players to switch off the game’s crossplay service. Various videoshave been poppingup on theCoDReddit, showing frustratedWarzoneplayers finding their heads popped in the blink of an eye, with the KillCam then unmasking their assassin as having used an aimbot or some other piece of prohibitive software to perform a digital murderthon with just a mouse click....
