With the release of Call of Duty: Black Ops 7’s open beta, countless FPS fans have dove eagerly into the fast-paced arcade shooter ahead of its full launch on the 25th October. Cheaters have been plaguing the experience as they tend to do, but Activision claim they’re being quickly dealt with.
In a post on X, the official Call of Duty updates account released a lengthy statement on the cheater problem. According to this post, 97 percent of Black Ops 7 beta cheaters are being banned within 30-minutes. Not only that, they claim fewer than 1 percent of cheating attempts reached a match, and those who did were removed within minutes.
This post also spotlights cheat providers themselves, claiming that many of them are now labeling their cheats as “unusable”. The post also goes on to claim that over 40 cheat developers have been shut down since the launch of Black Ops 6. The post also calls for players to stay diligent by reporting others they believe are using cheats in matches, to help keep the cheating problem at bay.
