Two major Call of Duty cheat software providers have ceased operations following legal pressure from Activision.
The shutdown of Two2nd and Tomware came to light when professional Warzone player Swishem shared the news on X/Twitter. The post, noted by Windows Central, included evidence from Tomware’s Discord server, where the company stated they would permanently discontinue all Call of Duty-related products.
The impact of these closures is particularly noteworthy. While Tomware’s website remains operational for other games like Valorant and Fortnite, their Call of Duty cheats have been completely removed. According to their Discord announcement, they’ve implemented strict measures against members discussing the cease and desist letter, including permanent bans. Interestingly, Tomware’s team expressed gratitude toward Activision and their legal representatives for their professional approach.
Two2nd, on the other hand, faced a more severe outcome. Their entire website has been replaced with a simple white screen displaying a red “Permanently Closed” stamp. Before shutting down, they had offered various cheating tools for multiple games, including Call of Duty titles, Elden Ring, Helldivers 2, and Starfield.
This legal approach to combating cheats has proven effective for Activision in the past. In 2024, the Microsoft-owned publisher won a significant legal victory, securing over $14 million in damages from cheat developer EngineOwning. This success likely encouraged their current aggressive stance against cheat providers.
In recent months Team RICOCHET, Activision’s anti-cheat software, has implemented new anti-cheat measures with Black Ops 6 Season 2 and conducted large-scale ban waves targeting thousands of players.
