ActivisionThe Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 beta is already being infested with cheaters as players await the arrival of a stronger anti-cheat system.
Every year, cheaters become a major threat to Call of Duty, and Activision is in a constant, never-ending struggle with the creators of this nefarious software.
On October 2, the Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 early access beta arrived, and while there have been controversies about perks and scorestreaks, an old adversary reared its ugly head right out of the gate.
Like clockwork, footage of players using aim bots, wall hacks, and other such tools emerged.
Aimbotters and wall hacks hit Black Ops 7 beta
In one clip, uploaded to X by a fresh account, a user showed off how they could see enemies through walls and quickly snapped right to targets, mowing them down.
Another video, this time from streamer Stodeh, showed another encounter with a cheater just three hours into the beta.
“Bro, is this guy cheating in hour three of beta?” he asked in chat.
Someone in the lobby then claimed there had been cheaters from the moment the beta went live. Footage proceeded to show absurd kill cams where Stodeh was shredded by someone who shouldn’t have been able to see him.
“This can’t be happening in Black Ops 7 ALREADY,” he added.
A litany of other clips have since circulated, though Activision has reached out to Dexerto to ensure various accounts have already been struck down. Not all hope may be lost, but players will need to be patient for a more permanent fix.

In a blog post, the devs confirmed a “new generation of machine learning systems and detection tools” is coming to Black Ops 7 at launch.
These upgrades, however, will only go live officially when Black Ops 7 launches on November 14.
