Two Call of Duty: Warzone cheaters were banned on Twitch after the actress behind game character Mara called them on Twitter.
Mara is a Warcom Operator character in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Warzone who was released as part of the Battle Pass in the first season of the Infinity Ward shooter in December 2019.

The actress behind Mara is Alex Zedra, who took to Twitter to expose two cheaters – a boyfriend and girlfriend couple – who were using aimbots in a Warzone tournament played on Friday, March 12.
Zedra was alerted to the suspicious gameplay after hosting one of the streamers in question at the end of her own Twitch stream – and copied Twitch into her tweet alongside the gameplay.

The clip shows some pretty obvious cheating in Warzone, and it didn’t take long for the others to unearth incriminating game clips of her boyfriend as well.

Both of their channels are now listed as suspended and it looks like both have deleted their Twitter accounts. Zedra then thanked Twitch for moving quickly.
Thank you @Tic for banning the most toxic hackers I have ever encountered in my 5 years on this platform. Glad I got to see him get banned from Live after being called a bitch and having them in 1v1 as they were blatantly hacking.

Warzone has a reputation for cheating, of course, which has resulted in the phenomenal success of the battle royale since its launch in March 2020.
Despite Activision’s best efforts, cheating persists in the game – and it’s even forcing some console gamers to turn off cross-platform play in an effort to avoid cheaters on PC.
Eurogamer News: What Xbox Exclusives Bethesda Means For The Future.
Last month, Activision said it banned 60,000 accounts for cheating in Warzone and issued more than 300,000 permabans worldwide on accounts since its launch.
The news follows growing pressure from the Call of Duty community and came shortly after two high-profile Call of Duty streamers announced they had quit the game for cheating.
Activision faces an uphill battle with Warzone cheaters – and it’s a war that spans many games. Its anti-cheat effort is underway with Warzone, Black Ops Cold War, and Modern Warfare, and will no doubt continue with the release of subsequent games in the Call of Duty series.
