The PlayStation exclusive weekend of theCall of Duty: Vanguardbeta may be live right now, but that has not stopped fans from finding secrets in the game’s multiplayer reveal. One of these secrets is a clear nod toCall of Duty: Warzone’s upcoming anti-cheat system, which is set to come to the game once theCall of Duty: Vanguardthemed map arrives.
Call of Duty: Warzone’s anti-cheat systemhas been something fans have been begging for over the past several months, as the battle royale game has an overwhelming number of cheaters. Whether they are using aimbots and wallhacks or crushing players with flying cars, it has gotten harder and harder to avoid those playing unfairly. With bans only impacting accounts, cheaters can continue ruining the game under a new name, making the anti-cheat system essential.

As pointed out bythe YouTuber JGOD, theCall of Duty: Vanguardmultiplayer reveal features a clear nod to the new anti-cheat system and the plentiful bans that it will hopefully deliver. While most of the stream focused on the new game’s multiplayer experience, highlighting things such as the destruction mechanics and gunsmith, the final segment discussedCall of Duty: Warzone. Specifically, the new map and anti-cheat system were discussed, and fans going frame-by-frame can catch a clever nod to what is coming.
While most players were focused on the footage ofCall of Duty: Warzone’s Pacific map, and the confirmation that anti-cheat will launch alongside it, JGOD caught a very cool detail. At 27 minutes into the reveal, an Operator swings a hammer as part of a finishing move. However, on that hammer is some writing that clearly reads as the word “ban.” Seeing a literal ban hammer on screen at the same time anti-cheat is discussed is hilarious, and the extra effort should get fans even more excited for the system’s debut.
Hopefully, this anti-cheat system is effective, as several content creators and regular players have quitCall of Duty: Warzonedue to the state of the game. It would also be great ifCall of Duty: Warzonefanscould expect detection for players using map exploits or other glitches to their advantage. Just as frustrating as the number of hackers, the stim glitch and out of map spots have ruined games just as oftem. With it taking a long time to eliminate these issues from Verdansk, the new map will likely have similar problems upon release if the anti-cheat does not catch exploiters.
WithCall of Duty: Warzone’s weapon balancinglikely to become an even hotter topic once the new guns are added, too, it will be interesting to see how the game changes. For those just looking for a laugh, though, this well-hidden ban hammer should do the trick.
