Call of Duty Creator Uses Stickers to Expose AI Aimbots

A simple spray decal may have done what a lot of anti-cheat promises have not: it made an AI aimbot reveal itself in plain sight. In LunchTime’s clip, the Call of Duty creator used a character sticker on a wall, and the cheat appeared to lock onto the cosmetic item instead of the player, turning a routine moment in a match into a very public tell.

The video spread fast, drawing more than 1.2 million views and fitting neatly into LunchTime’s wheelhouse. His YouTube channel, branded around competitive Call of Duty, lists about 302K subscribers and 1.6K videos, and recent uploads have leaned hard into exposing console cheaters and aimbot use in ranked play. That background matters, because the sticker trick did not come off like a one-off gag. It landed as part of a creator’s ongoing habit of hunting for the small mistakes cheaters make when the game starts fighting back.

The practical lesson is not that every spray means a cheater is definitely in the lobby. It is that AI-driven aimbots can be confused by unexpected visual noise, especially when a cosmetic item becomes a target they seem to prioritize. For ordinary players, that makes the clip useful and limited at the same time. It is a clue, not a verdict. A snap to a sticker can look suspicious, but a single strange aim correction does not prove a hack on its own.

That is why the moment hit so hard across the Call of Duty community. Activision has spent years describing RICOCHET Anti-Cheat as a multi-layered system with server-side tools and a kernel-level PC driver, while Team RICOCHET has leaned on machine-learning detections, limited matchmaking, in-game mitigations, and hardware protections like TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot for Black Ops 7 on PC. Activision also said in March 2025 that it was focusing on banning bad actors and improving the player experience in Black Ops 6 and Warzone, and in May 2025 it said it had disrupted more than 150 cheat resellers.

That broader fight is what makes LunchTime’s spray test feel so uncomfortable. It is low-tech, almost goofy, and still effective enough to embarrass cheaters in front of everyone watching. In a scene where players expect expensive hardware, kernel drivers, and machine learning to carry the load, a sticker on a wall became the sharpest reminder that the cheating problem is still very real, and sometimes painfully easy to expose.
