Overview

• Event footage from COD Next shows world champion Simp using Gravemaker to highlight enemies through solid walls and land sniper kills, fueling criticism that it mimics wallhacks.
• The debate lands as Activision enforces secure boot for PC players as an anti-cheat measure intended to curb tools like aimbots and wall-visibility hacks.
• Gravemaker appears to be constrained to short activations with roughly nine shots per use, limiting its uptime compared with persistent streaks.
• Players and reporters note in-game counters such as the Cold-Blooded perk, which can reduce exposure to the streak’s thermal vision.
• The Black Ops 7 open beta is scheduled for October 2 for pre-order customers and eligible Game Pass subscribers, with access opening to all players on October 5.
