To quite a lot of sceptical fans, Mason "Symfuhny" Lanier might be a boy who cried wolf here, but the streamer famous for his ridiculous anticipating flicks in Warzone has just stumbled across the boss of all hackers in the Call of Duty battle royale.

Symfuhny has often struggled to shake off hacking claims himself, having repeatedly trolled the community by using UAV pings to shoot enemies through walls in a suspect-looking manner, trying to hoodwink us that he could be cheating himself.

But the likelihood is that Lanier is just good, and it's taken one of the most brutal Warzone hackers ever to bring him down.

Playing alongside former Call of Duty esports star turned CDL caster Joe "MerK" DeLuca, and ex-CoD esports world champion Tyler "TeeP" Polchow, Symfuhny was dropped out of the air in Warzone after coming across the most obvious hacker yet.

After originally being sent to the Gulag by this suspected aimbot abuser, the cheater decided to up the ante by spinning around in circles, spraying his bullets into the air, all of which miraculously slapped Symfuhny who was dropping down in his chute.

On the kill-cam, not a single bullet went anywhere near the streamer, yet he was downed before he landed, and finished off through an array of buildings.

MerK also noted how the account in question was level three, a brand-new player, who has instantly installed the hacks.

Warzone community left rocked as hackers aren't afraid anymore

Having posted the clip on Twitter, now surpassing 2.8 million views in less than 24 hours, the community has been left stunned.

"This is absolutely ridiculous," one player said in response to Symfuhny's video.

"This is what can make a grown man cry," another fan left as a comment on a similar post by MerK.

Others mocked the clip, taking a jab at aim assist and the controller community who defend its overpowered nature in Warzone.

"Nah bro that’s just rotational aim assist," said Content Creator "Westie".

It's not the first time these hackers have been so blatant either, having been like this in the Verdansk days before Ricochet was rolled out. 

Despite the anti-cheat software catching one player out last week and banning thousands of other accounts, it looks like the hackers are beyond caring now, and are flaunting the cheats in our faces.

Good luck out there, soldiers.
