Call of Duty: Warzone has implemented a new requirement for free-to-play players that should cut down on the number of cheaters.
Following the example of CS:GO and other free-to-play games, Call of Duty: Warzone now requires two-step SMS verification for its free-to-play players on PC.
This basically means anyone who doesn’t own the full game must tie an active mobile number to their profile, which they’ll be receiving a SMS message on, similar to how two-factor authentication works over email.
For now, this is only a requirement on PC, but it should make the process of creating new accounts much harder for cheaters, since they’ll also have to buy a new line every time they get banned.
Security Update: We have initiated two-step SMS authentication for new #Warzone PC users, who log in as free to play as another step to provide an additional layer of security for players.

This is obviously not an entirely foolproof solution, as burners exist, and so do sites that generate temporary mobile numbers. But, it’s a step in the right direction for a game that’s been struggling a bit with cheaters.
Just last month, Warzone started matching cheaters with other cheaters in separate lobbies. Infinity Ward also recently updated its player-reporting tools to allow everyone to report cheaters through the spectator view and killcam.
