At this point, saying that Call of Duty: Warzone has a hacking problem is stating the obvious. While the latest Call of Duty: Warzone hack is not going to cause players any trouble on its own, it sees hackers accessing the Judge Dredd outfit early.
This is hardly the first time that hackers have accessed cosmetic content earlier than they were supposed to. Countless examples of blueprints being equipped early can be seen, while some hackers have even gone out of their way to create custom skins for themselves. The early appearance of Call of Duty: Warzone’s Soap Operator is possibly the most prominent example of this, as hackers were walking around Verdansk as the Modern Warfare icon several weeks before he was released to the public.
Call of Duty: Warzone’s Judge Dredd skin is set to debut at some point during Season 5 Reloaded, though an exact date has not yet been revealed. However, Reddit user Copy_Code took to Reddit to show a screenshot of the Judge Dredd skin in action. Rather than using the default version of the skin that many likely expect to see, the hackers are using the cel-shaded variant. Black and white just like Dredd’s first comic book appearance, the skin stands out from every other outfit that currently exists in Call of Duty: Warzone.
With the Call of Duty: Warzone cheater in the photo using the unreleased skin variant, it can safely be assumed that they have access to the rest of the Dredd bundle as well. Alongside the two Dredd costumes for the Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Operator Beck, a special Assault Rifle, SMG, and Pistol are included. A finishing move, charm, watch, calling card, and emblem also feature in the unreleased bundle, ensuring that Judge Dredd fans have plenty to look forward to once he arrives in the store.
Intriguingly, the second hacker is also using an unreleased skin, which seems remarkably similar to the version of Scarecrow seen in the Batman: Arkham games. While this is likely just an homage as opposed to an official crossover with the DC universe, it is interesting. As mentioned in the title, the two cheaters dropped 80 kills, wiping out almost the entire lobby with ease. While the skins themselves do not provide an advantage, those wearing them are likely not afraid to use some game-breaking Call of Duty: Warzone hacks.
With posts like this one being so plentiful, Call of Duty: Warzone’s anti-cheat system cannot come soon enough. Until the bundle properly releases, anyone who sees the Judge Dredd skin in their games should be ready to report their opponent, as some other hacks are likely going to be right around the corner.
Call of Duty: Warzone is available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
