Warzone devs provide RICOCHET anti-cheat update after multiple player complaints ActivisionWith an increase of Warzone cheaters in early 2022, the devs have provided a RICOCHET anti-cheat update and assured players that they are working hard to combat hackers. The RICOCHET anti-cheat launched back on December 15, shortly after the beginning of Season 1 Pacific. While it initially saw great success, players quickly found themselves back to having games ruined by hackers. Naturally, this has the community doubting the anti-cheat. However, the Warzone devs wanted to clear the air and said that it might not be perfect but the team is \u201ccommitted to fighting.\u201d Warzone devs update community on anti-cheat https:\/\/twitter.com\/CallofDuty\/status\/1494720562396024841 In a Twitter post on February 18, Activision released a blog post on the current status of RICOCHET. While fans thought cheating was reaching a high point again, the team stated otherwise. \u201cRICOCHET was able to catch and disable accounts quickly, bringing cheating within Warzone to an all-time low during the holiday break.\u201d While fans were initially satisfied with the anti-cheat, in January fans reported that cheaters had returned. Following this, flying cars and god mode hacks returned. \u201cAs time has progressed cheat developers have looked for new ways to try to exploit the game. Some have succeeded, many have not.\u201d Activision also added that the recent spike of cheaters \u201cis not at the level it was during Verdansk.\u201d They also confirmed that hackers in-game are being punished with a \u201cDamage Shield.\u201d This prevents detected hackers from doing damage to other players in the lobby. Activision closed by saying that they have improved their system to hand out permanent suspensions for cheaters on all current and future accounts made. While some hackers were able to bypass the anti-cheat measures, the Warzone devs said this isn\u2019t a \u201cmagic bullet\u201d, it has been successful at reducing the overall number of cheaters, and is constantly improving.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
