Cheaters Use Warzone Companion App to Cheat Skill-Based Matchmaking in Call of Duty: Warzone, Changes Made



Warzone Companion is a third-party app that provides in-depth stats for Call of Duty: Warzone players. The problem is some players have been using those stats to cheat the game?s skill-based matchmaking system. According to Eurogamer, app owner Dmitry Shymko has made changes to the app to stop cheaters from taking advantage of the service it provides.
Amongst the stats displayed in the companion app is the K/D ratio of all players in the lobby, information not provided by the game itself. Those waiting in a lobby have then been backing out of it if they felt their chances of success were unfavorable. This rendered the matchmaking system completely pointless. Other uses for the app have been stream sniping. As such, many competitive Call of Duty players have become concerned over the app?s prevalence.
