Call of Duty: Warzone has been plagued by hackers and cheaters since its release, however theyve implemented the shadow ban system to solve this issue.

Despite Ravens best efforts, Call of Dutys online battle royale, Warzone, continues to be overrun by hackers and cheaters.

With a series of hacks seeing mischievous players crashing peoples games (especially streamers), the devs need to do something soon.

Enter shadow banning, the system thats devised purely to stop rule breaking players in their tracks. Heres everything you need to know about this type of punishment.

If youve been hit with a shadow ban, Raven have decided that your account is associated with some form of illegitimate activity.

Shadow bans are given to Warzone players who have been hacking or cheating. Their main purpose is to group all of the punished players in the one lobby so that theyre forced to play together instead of against unsuspecting others.

As you can imagine, this is an absolute nightmare of a lobby to play in, so while you dont want one of these bans on your own account, you can take some satisfaction from the fact that getting a shadow ban is hellish for cheaters.

While theres no obvious way to tell if youve been shadow banned, here are a few of the things you should look out for if youve noticed some changes in your account.

Normally accidental bans are lifted after 7 to 14 days, but if youre sick of getting thrown into the lions den you can dispute the matter with Activision using this link.
