It almost sounds like the title of a B-horror movie, but no, it's all true: flying boats are back in Warzone 2. Available for just over a week, the new Activision Battle Royale is afflicted by the same bug as the previous version, where some cheaters take possession of a dinghy or a boat and manage to fly high in the skies. All, of course, with the intention of escaping the hoop and gaining an advantage over regular gamers.
Several videos and clips have popped up on YouTube and other social networks, including a rather long one, of 6 minutes, uploaded by the same hacker who committed the "crime". In short, there are all the conditions for which users will find, at least in the next few days, reasons to complain. Yet the presence of this cheat is known and has a real manager.
As we well know, Infinity Ward and Activision they didn't decide to redo the anti-cheat system from scratch as well. To "protect" the loyal players from the unfair ones there is always Ricochet, who however has never been able to stem the problem of cheaters definitively. The same hack was never recognized by the software in the previous iteration of the game and it seems natural that all this also happens in this second "chapter". The hope now is that the development team steps in to put a stop to this, even if we admit it's all very hilarious.
