Activision shuts down popular Warzone cheat seller ahead of Vanguard & RICOCHET ActivisionCall of Duty publisher Activision has successfully shut down another cheat provider ahead of the November launch of Vanguard, and the series\u2019 first dedicated anti-cheat system: RICOCHET. Despite Warzone\u2019s undeniable success, the game\u2019s player-base has found their experience marred somewhat by the prevalence of cheats in the CoD battle royale. Any player with more than a few games under their belt will have encountered a cheater \u2013 whether it be in the form of wall-hacks, aimbot, or even God mode. The natural response from players was to call for a robust and effective anti-cheat system. Despite months of silence, Activision have now revealed RICOCHET, their own anti-cheat creation, which will launch alongside Vanguard. However, they do not appear to be resting on their laurels, shutting down an incredibly popular cheat provider just days before Vanguard\u2019s launch. X22 Cheats, a French cheat provider, confirmed that they will no longer offer services relating to Call of Duty titles. On October 30, Activision confirmed to ModernWarzone that they served a cease and desist notice to the company. In a statement to their customers \u2013 shared on Reddit \u2013 X22 explained their decision to halt their distribution of Call of Duty cheats. \u201cToday we have to announce that our cheats for the Call of Duty series stop here due to legal matters,\u201d they said. \u201cWe from the X22 Team are very sad to bring [this news] to the community but this is not in our hands.\u201d The statement finished: \u201cBecause we know this will be on Twitter and elsewhere, it is not due to the new anti-cheat. Lawyers are stronger than anti-cheat.\u201d Many were quick to praise Activision for their hardline approach to the cheat provider and encouraged them to continue their efforts despite the pending addition of RICOCHET. There have been some concerns about the new anti-cheat, after the intricacies of the system leaked after its announcement. Warzone devs cooled these fears though, explaining that the system that leaked was a pre-release version of RICOCHET.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
