It’s only been close to a week since Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile was released after a lot of hype from fans. The game was released in stages, with several regions getting access to it before the rest.
While the game garnered a lot of positive reviews, it was considered unoptimized for the majority of low-end mobile devices. While the developers will no doubt be working on fixing the optimization issues, the title has already run into an age-old issue that most battle royale titles have faced for years now, as hackers are already plaguing the game.
Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile Footage Shows a Hacking Tool in Use
Spotted first and shared by an Indian streamer, iYato, a screen recording of Warzone Mobile being played has surfaced with what looks like a tool that can alter framerates, add weapons, ammo, and armor, and adjust touch simulation.
There were also specific settings for Samsung mobile devices, which included having a fixed position of the auto-aim button and adjusting the viewing angle control area.

Most of the settings in the tool seem to be in Chinese, as does most of the actual UI in the game as well. The origin of the tool couldn’t be verified yet, as one of the fans replied to the post, stating it’s an Indian-made tool that’s made available in the Chinese market.
FYI that cheat isn’t Chinese. It’s made by Indians but has a Chinese version cus it “sells more there”. There is already 3 very big cheat providers selling cheats for wzm. Some are free even

Most others replied, stating that at this point, a hack would only be useful if it could boost the FPS on most devices, as optimization is the one big issue most gamers have with Warzone Mobile. The player in the footage, however, while showcasing the tools, gets to the ground and gets killed immediately, much to the amusement of those who replied.
While this may be the first time footage of a game-altering tool has surfaced while playing Warzone Mobile, gamers have been reporting random kills by players not even in sight.

Another comment that was posted stated that cheaters were expected in the game, but the fact that it got so easily and quickly hacked into was rather impressive in its own right.
Players Are Also Dealing With Optimization Issues
While it’s one thing to deal with those hacking and cheating their way into the game, optimization seems to be a bigger problem for gamers. Those with significantly new mobile devices also seem to be having a tough time getting the game to run at a better FPS.
