Call Of Duty: Warzone Kinda Has Consequences For “Lobby Shopping”
Warzone Agent, to many, is deemed cheating on Call of Duty: Warzone, but for a while Activision wasn’t really trying to stamp out the paid third-party app, until now. In case you aren’t up-to-date on the lingo here; the app would let players “lobby shop,” which basically lets people easily see the levels of the lobby players before actually joining, effectively allowing them to pick out the lowest-level lobby and circumvent the matchmaking algorithm.
As announced on the official COD account, following the launch of Modern Warfare 4‘s Warzone, their anti-cheat, Ricochet, will now prompt players to uninstall the app before being able to access multiplayer.
On top of their stance against lobby shopping, they’re also vowing to continue to take action against people who are boosting. This is basically allowing another person to log into their account for the express purpose of gaining extra XP and potentially sold online at a later date.
