Zedra was alerted to the suspicious gameplay after hosting one of the streamers in question at the end of a Twitch stream of her own - and copied Twitch into her tweet alongside gameplay.

Warzone has a reputation for cheating, of course, which has dogged the phenomenally successful battle royale since it launched in March 2020. Despite Activision's best efforts, cheating persists in the game - and it even causes some console players to disable cross-platform play in a bid to avoid PC cheaters.

Last month, Activision said it had banned 60,000 accounts for cheating in Warzone, and that it had issued more than 300,000 permabans worldwide to accounts since launch. The news followed increasing pressure from the Call of Duty community, and came soon after two high-profile Call of Duty streamers announced they had quit the game over cheating. Activision faces an uphill battle against Warzone cheaters - and it is a war that spans many games. It's anti-cheat effort is ongoing with Warzone, Black Ops Cold War and Modern Warfare, and will no doubt continue with the release of subsequent games in the Call of Duty series.
