Call of Duty: Warzone’s problems with hackers have been well documented, as those seeking to play the game unfairly are continuing to flood the servers. Rather than the latest Call of Duty: Warzone hack giving players a new advantage, though, it instead shows off an unreleased weapon camo in action.
That is not to say that the hacker with the camo isn’t cheating, however. Caught during a stream from pro player Repulize, the hacker is making use of Call of Duty: Warzone’s devastating silent aim hack. This sees them walking around the map and no-scoping randomly, though their bullets still hit their targets regardless of how far away they are. Aiming down the sights is not even required, making silent aim hacks some of the worst to ever be seen in the game.
However, silent aims hacks have been in the game for a few months now. As such, while it is frustrating to see the Call of Duty: Warzone streamer getting killed by one of these cheaters, it is sadly expected at this point. However, what is a bit more surprising is the enemy player’s weapon camo. Shown while Repulize was spectating the player, their random firing was matched with the Dark Aether camo from Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Zombies. While the streamer is clearly furious, cursing and jumping out of their chair, many - including the YouTuber JGOD - were shocked by the enemy’s gun.
Still, the hacker’s username of IUnlockStuff implies that they have experience with getting access to items that they should not have. While it is surprising to see Dark Aether, similar hacks have seemingly unlocked the long-awaited Soap skin early. Though it remains to be seen when or if Dark Aether will come to Call of Duty: Warzone officially, it is in the game’s files. As such, hackers can make it usable inside their games, pairing it with whatever broken gun they are using to sneak their way to victory.
While it had previously been stated that the Dark Aether camo would come to Call of Duty: Warzone, this statement was made back when the integration with Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War first began. As such, it has been nine months since fans were last teased about Dark Aether, with the glowing purple mastery camo nowhere to be found. While this is disappointing, using an unreleased item is a good way to get banned — especially when it is combined with a silent aim cheat.
On the bright side, Call of Duty: Warzone cheaters using custom skins and unreleased camos does make them easier to spot. As such, players can at least keep an eye out for the Dark Aether camo and report anyone they see using it.
Call of Duty: Warzone is available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
