  "textContent": "Cheating is undoubtedly the biggest plague of the multiplayer gaming world. This situation, which has spread like an epidemic in recent years, forces developers to take new measures every day. However, a new report published by Surfshark has revealed a bitter truth: the **Call of Duty** community leaves the top spot to no one when it comes to searching for cheats.\n\nAccording to research data, among all other multiplayer titles, the series that embraces cheaters the most and has the highest cheat search volume is by far Call of Duty.\n\n## Call of Duty and the Cheating Problem: A Story Unchanged for Decades\n\nCheating in the Call of Duty series is not actually a new concept. This trend dates back to the early years of the game's multiplayer ecosystem. Ever since the day you encountered other players through **matchmaking** , meeting cheaters online has unfortunately become unavoidable.\n\nData shared by Surfshark shows that Call of Duty players perform 66 cheat searches for every 1,000 people. This figure proves how big of a problem the series faces compared to its rivals.\n\n## Cybersecurity Risk of Easy Victory\n\nThe desire to cheat not only undermines the enjoyment of the game but also brings a serious cybersecurity risk. Surfshark Security Manager Tomas Stamulis states that the promise of an easy victory leads players into dangerous paths:\n\n> “The promise of an easy victory can lead players down a dangerous path. When players search for and install cheat software on their computers, they often have to disable antivirus software and grant high-level permissions to their computers. This opens the door wide for sophisticated malware like info-stealers and Trojans.”\n\nSurprisingly, **Rocket League** follows right behind Call of Duty. It is quite an interesting detail that it is the only sports game to make it into the top 15 in cheat searches.\n\nThe world's most competitive esports titles are quite low on the list. Games like **Counter-Strike** , **Dota 2** , **VALORANT** , and **League of Legends** have the lowest cheat search rates. Especially the MOBA genre seems to have the cleanest audience in terms of integrity and community ethics.\n\nWhile there are 66 cheat searches per 1,000 players in Call of Duty, this number is only around **0.3** in League of Legends.\n\n## Status of Other Games in Cheat Searches\n\nIn the middle of the list is a mix of different types of games:\n\n  * Rainbow Six Siege (53)\n  * Marvel Rivals (45)\n  * PUBG (39)\n  * Apex Legends (25)\n  * Fortnite (20)\n  * ARC Raiders (10)\n\n\n\nBattlefield, known for its war atmosphere, ranks 13th on the list, proving to be one of the titles least affected by the cheating problem despite being an online FPS. Do you find this persistent search for cheats by the Call of Duty community surprising?\n\n_For the latest_ _gaming guides_ _and_ _system requirements_ _, you can follow GamingAlly on_ _Instagram_ _,__Twitter_ _and Google News._",
