Crimsix, a Call of Duty professional and three-time world champion, has accused one of the highest ranked players in Vanguard of cheating. And this while hacks are multiplying in the upper echelons of the game’s classified mode.
Although there are plenty of legitimate players and even professional players in Vanguard’s top 250 rankings, and Doug ‘Censor’ Martin finally took the top spot after a long grind, Crimsix believes there’s still lots of hackers at the top.
“So I’m playing ranked not streaming and no one is streaming in the game either, I notice my teammate is cheating but he’s moving around the map like he’s showcasing the graphics of a new game at the E3”did he declare. “Anyway, the other team is starting to realize that as well. When I go to report it to the relevant authorities, I notice that it is in the Top 250. I will check, it is #2 on the chart.”

He even claimed to have texted Censor to tell him “a hacker is on your asshole”.
While a number of players, including world champion Chris ‘Parasite’ Duarte, came to the player’s defense, they themselves tweeted Crimsix and posted about the situation.
He simply said “LMAO I’m crying” before adding “I don’t even know what I could have done for him to accuse me like that.”

Obviously, players are divided on whether JoeDeceives is cheating, but he and many others insist on his innocence.
Although Call of Duty has the RICOCHET anti-cheat system, players have complained about its ineffectiveness. This made many people skeptical about the legitimacy of some of the players.
