Jump back into action.
Warzoneis a highly competitive game, and the developers are actively monitoring player behavior to ensure fair play.
Sometimes, players may be hit with a shadow ban—a subtle penalty that modifies or limits gameplay without any formal notification.
If you suspect you’ve been penalized with this kind of ban, this ONE Esports guide can help you understand what it is, how to check if it’s happened to you, and what steps to take next.
What is a shadow ban?
A shadow ban is when your account is flagged for suspicious activity, such as cheating or violating the game’s terms of service.
Instead of being outright banned, you’re placed in lobbies with other shadow banned players where you’ll experience significantly increasing wait times and find it hard to find a match.
Additionally, these lobbies are often filled with cheaters, creating a frustrating gameplay experience.
Another tell-tale sign is getting into a server that is far from your region, resulting in higher ping than usual.
