RICOCHET Anti-Cheat - How Call of Duty is tackling cheaters

The RICOCHET Anti-Cheat team is constantly developing new techniques and technologies to ensure that we all enjoy a fair and entertaining gaming experience. In this article, you will learn all about their latest achievements and how they help us keep the Call of Duty battlefields clean.

New Security Measures and Detection Techniques

With the Season 03 Anti-Cheat Progress Report, the RICOCHET Anti-Cheat team has introduced new security measures and detection techniques to protect all game modes, particularly the ranked play in Modern Warfare II and Warzone 2.0. The team has a zero-tolerance policy towards cheating and takes strict action against those who cheat and ruin the gaming experience for other players.

Replay Investigation Tool

With the new Replay Investigation Tool, the RICOCHET Anti-Cheat team can analyze recorded and saved game data from completed matches. Using this data, they identify suspicious behavior and can take targeted action against cheaters. These actions often lead to permanent bans, so be warned: cheating doesn't pay off!

Third-Party Hardware Detection

You may know some players who use third-party hardware devices to play with unfair advantages. The RICOCHET Anti-Cheat team has developed technology to detect such devices and take appropriate action against players who use them. So think again before resorting to unfair means!

Effective In-Game Countermeasures

What happens when a cheater is caught? The team deploys so-called countermeasures to negatively impact the gaming experience of cheaters. Here are a few examples:

  • DISARM: Removing weapons and equipment from cheaters in the game
  • DAMAGE SHIELD: Legitimate players are granted a shield to defend against cheaters

These measures make a cheater's life on the battlefield a living hell, leaving them no choice but to change their behavior.

Additional Behavioral Warnings

Not only cheating is penalized: Account boosting, game glitching, or intentional harassment of other players (griefing) is also against the Call of Duty Code of Conduct. Those who do not follow the rules receive in-game warnings and can even face bans, progress resets, and other penalties.

The Cat-and-Mouse Game Continues

The RICOCHET Anti-Cheat team works tirelessly to keep Call of Duty free from unfair play. They are in a constant cat-and-mouse game with cheaters. But thanks to their efforts, we can enjoy a fair gaming experience in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II and Warzone 2.0.

So, dear friends, let's follow the rules, play fair, and enjoy epic matches together on the battlefields of Call of Duty. And always remember: cheating is uncool!
