By Andrew Lin

Pacesetter Warzone Cheating has been a hot issue in the Warzone community after several videos and players examining his play have accused him of cheating.
Pacesetter Warzone Cheating Accusations: Everything We Know
Pacesetter was banned from the Mainland Gaming 2 v 2 tournament after it was believed he was using wall hacks to cheat. Pacesetter's unusually risky play-style was called out by 100 Thieves's Tommey, who noted that Pacesetter seemed to have uncanny knowledge where his enemies were without checking corners and buildings.
This video by Erin Reiner shows some of the evidence levied against Pacesetter, showing him running through completely open areas without fear of being attacked or seeming to know exactly where an enemy was without pinging.
Well, looks like we got another one. Hate that it even comes down to this but wow, shit is horrible. Hope this opened your eyes to what's really going on in a lot of these tournaments.

Praying there's an anti-cheat coming soon.
Reiner also notes that after the allegations of cheating, Pacesetter continued to stream with significantly lower kills. With his average kills dropping by almost half in recent streams, many players believe that Pacesetter has turned off the cheating temporarily.
According to Reiner and the comment section, Pacesetter has since deleted his videos on YouTube and his world record. Pacesetter had previously set the world record for Trio kills. Pacesetter's integrity has also been called into question by Drift0r, who revealed that Pacesetter had been playing in unusually low level lobbies for his K/DR and as a world record holder.
Something is very rotten in Warzone right now. Using https://t.co/xXUh231F5J you can look at player's past lobby difficulty. Compare mine, a YouTuber who isn't even good, to @Vikkstar123 who is getting the kind of lobbies he deserves, & then to two other world record kill holders pic.twitter.com/BtTK0X2qM1

This situation shows just how widespread cheating is in Warzone. It affects all players in different skill brackets, all the way from big money tournaments to the average casual player. Cheating ruins the integrity and experience of the game for everyone, and Activision needs to implement an anti-cheat system.
