The battle against the Call of Duty Warzone and Vanguard cheaters continues.
Activision issued another major wave of bans call of Duty.
The company said they have been banned so far 48,000 cheater accounts on Call of Duty: Vanguard And Warzone.
Activision claimed in August that it has issued over 500,000 permabans on Warzone since the free-to-play shooter launched in March 2020.
The publisher recently rolled out the kernel-level anti-cheat driver on Warzone around the world last week. The driver, which will launch for Call of Duty: Vanguard at a later time, automatically installs along with a Warzone Pacific update on Battle.net and is required to play on PC.
“It runs with elevated privileges on your computer, and is able to access all the resources on your system while it is runningAccording to an Activision FAQ, this allows the game to detect any anti-cheat software that may be running in the background.

The company claims that cheating software has gotten more sophisticated and is now able to manipulate game code without running in the game itself. This can make detection with in-game anti-cheat methods impossible.
The driver allows the game to monitor any other applications that may be running at the same time, which allows Warzone’s anti-cheat team to understand if a player is using an unauthorized process to manipulate the game.
While the driver is required to play Warzone, Activision claims it will only run while users are playing and will shut down as soon as they leave.
