A Call of Duty: Warzone 2 player has created one of the strangest cheating methods ever seen in the game, which effectively allows them to use the Force to take down enemies. Since their initial launch, cheating has been a major issue within Warzone 2 and Modern Warfare 2, which required Activision to create Ricochet, a whole anti-cheat system that bolsters protection. Although Ricochet has been doing a good job at detecting cheaters, some of them can still get through this tool to ruin other people's games.Call of Duty: Warzone 2 has been a hot topic due to new bugs and issues, which prevent players from enjoying the fresh content included in the new season. As an example, the Intervention has now a strange glitch that features the sniper rifle not working as intended. Players have also encountered cheaters in their matches, who somehow got through the anti-cheat tool to gain an unfair advantage. Some players think the issue of using third-party hardware to cheat, even in ranked matches, is still frequent.Warzone 2 streamer Futives shared a clip of an unnamed cheater using the Force, the mysterious energy field seen in Star Wars movies and games, to decimate multiple enemies. They dropped their guns entirely, using empty hands to take five kills in a row. Rather than abusing gun cheats, the player apparently prefers a more unconventional way to fire at opponents. Players in the comments shared their feelings on this cheating method, with some joking that they thought the clip was gameplay from a different game.
Players in the comments also don't have any idea about how the unnamed cheater could do this despite the presence of Ricochet. Using the Force in its simplest form sets this method different from classic gun cheats. The Force is a spiritual energy that allows the Jedi to trick minds and levitate objects, which players recently saw in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. Force abilities are also available in Fortnite, allowing players to reach high grounds and dash faster.
Activision continues to tweak the Ricochet system to make it capable of banning cheaters before they ruin others' ranked matches. The tool was initially put into place in 2021 to strengthen protection, and it has undergone a few changes to detect malicious third party hardware across all game modes. Activision also brought the controversial SMS protection feature to prevent cheaters from logging in to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. However, the phone number requirement only applies to the PC version of the game. It remains to be seen whether new cheating methods akin to using the Force will emerge in Warzone 2.
Call of Duty: Warzone 2 is currently available on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
