‘Call of Duty: Black Ops 4’ Latest News & Updates: Cheaters Exploit Glitch, Disputes Cheating Accusations

“Call of Duty: Black Ops 4” was just released and cheaters have already found a glitch that they can exploit to gain an advantage of other players. The bug basically allows morally-bankrupt players to zoom around the map while they are crouched, which is not part of the game design. While some members of the gaming community are defending the practice, others are simply making excuses for it.

For some context on what this newly discovered “Call of Duty: Black Ops 4” looks like, a clip of the cheat was posted over at Reddit. The player could clearly be seen moving at speeds that should not be possible while remaining crouched. This is a result of using a bug that basically allows players to use the Skulker perk more than once.

While this particular perk is intended to allow players to move faster while crouched, it isn’t supposed to be anything game breaking. Due to the glitch, however, the perk can be stacked numerous times. This results in a boost in speed well beyond what the developers originally intended. Despite what many in the community might say, this is a “Call of Duty: Black Ops 4” cheat, clear as day.

As to how this glitch can be exploited, Eurogamer provides details on the specifics. Suffice it to say, anyone who even attempts to do this while playing with others can be treated as a cheater; no two ways about it. Any time that anyone tries to do anything that will give them an unbalanced advantage over others, such actions are inexcusable. This especially true in “Call of Duty: Black Ops 4.”

As a competitive multiplayer online FPS, “Call of Duty: Black Ops 4” relies on balanced gameplay mechanics to keep things fun and fair. Exploits like this one make playing the game frustrating for those who prefer an even playing field.
