Call of Duty: Warzone released over a year ago. Though, the issues with hackers are still clear starting from wall hacks to aimbots, you never know when there is a player in your lobby who is using these cheats until you fall victim to them. As Call of Duty: Warzone has progressed, hackers have managed to keep ruining games and keep getting more advanced. There is a particular type of cheat that is becoming more popular in Call of Duty: Warzone and it is known as silent aim.
A clip was also posted on the Call of Duty: Warzone Reddit page of a hacker using silent aim. Traditional aimbot requires you to aim down sight and shoot at a player. Even if you are not accurate, the hack will ensure your shots land on target. The silent aim hack takes this to the next level. In the clip, the player is spectating a hacker. The hacker appears to randomly start shooting at the ground. As a result, they manage to crack an enemy player's armor. Frustratingly, the hacker fully eliminates the player, loading them to win the game.
Hackers are already at an advantage in Call of Duty: Warzone and silent aim appears to make cheating even easier. Raven Software has executed ban waves to try and deal with these hackers, but it has not proven to be enough. Though this can be helpful in the short term, but there's still chances that the hackers can just make brand new accounts and repeat the process again.
As the silent aim hack is appearing more in Call of Duty: Warzone, it will be really interesting to see if Activision provides a response or takes any meaningful action. Meanwhile, you can only hope that you do not encounter a hacker in your lobby.
