Call of Duty players shocked as undercover op reveals 60% of top players could be cheating
The Call of Duty community is reeling after a three-year undercover investigation seemingly uncovered rampant cheating among the game’s elite.
Call of Duty, a staple in the competitive gaming community, boasts a player base dedicated to climbing the ranks in the franchise’s latest titles, such as Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone. However, a dark shadow has been cast over its Ranked mode, in particular.
A three-year-long undercover operation carried out by a user known as “NukeJesus” has exposed a staggering level of cheating among top-ranked players.
Navigating through the murky waters of secretive Discord servers, NukeJesus revealed that about 60% of the top players could be using cheats to maintain their positions.
The revelation comes from a detailed 30-minute video uploaded to YouTube, where NukeJesus shares evidence of top players participating in cheat-related activities.
This includes discussions on bypassing Activision’s anti-cheat systems, selling hacked accounts, and distributing cheating tools.
“Out of the top 10 players in the world for ranked multiplayer for Call of Duty, five out of those 10 names are confirmed cheaters,” NukeJesus disclosed in the video, highlighting the gravity of the situation.
NukeJesus also highlighted another name they could confirm as a cheater, meaning that six out of the ten players in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3’s rankings were “not legit players.”
