Infamous speed hacks have returned to Warzone 2.0 after the latest Season 2 update.
Call of Duty: Warzone was Activision’s second attempt at the Battle Royale genre. Taking basic mechanics from multiplayer, Warzone 1 was introduced to players worldwide. After a smooth launch, the game became progressively riddled with cheaters using various in-game hacks like aimbot, walling and speed hacks.
Warzone 2.0 also went through the same problem after launch. In the first few seasons, the game was free from cheaters. However, with each season, they started figuring out new hacks to use in Warzone 2.0. In recent events, it seems like Speed Hacks have returned to Warzone 2.0, which is worse than before.

Speed Hacks are Back in Warzone 2.0
In a recent tweet, Warzone 2.0 content creator Chad Adams shared a clip about the return of speed hacks.
Speed hacks are movement-related cheats that change players’ speed severely, making them reach impossible movement speeds in-game. In the shared gameplay footage, Chad Adams shows how a cheater using speed hacks zoomed past him at twice the concurrent movement speed.
While speed hacks are increasing movement speed for cheaters, they are still getting dunked on due to the insanely strong aim-assist of the new Modern Warfare 3 engine. The dynamic and rotational aim assist almost locks on a moving player even though they move faster than the usual speed.
The return of speed hacks is a glimpse of the current condition of Warzone 2.0 and Modern Warfare 3 Ranked Play. Modern Warfare 3 Ranked Play has seen a massive player drop due to the increasing number of cheaters in every match, especially for ranks above Diamond.
Hopefully, Sledgehammer Games and Raven Software will quickly address the hacking situation with the next mid-season update, as the reducing player count will only take the game back to Modern Warfare 2‘s near-death state.
