Warzone devs shut down anti-cheat concerns after \u201cpre-release\u201d RICOCHET leak Activision \/ PexelsCall of Duty: Warzone\u2019s security team have quieted concerns after the community discovered a RICOCHET Anti-Cheat leak. The devs have explained that it\u2019s actually a \u201cpre-release\u201d leaked build that hackers are toying with already. Ever since Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2019 and Warzone, CoD has had a serious hacking problem. With more PC players than ever, both the professional multiplayer and Warzone scenes have seen cheaters aplenty. So it was understandably major news when Activision revealed their upcoming, highly anticipated RICOCHET Anti-Cheat. And, also understandably, it was major news when people found out hackers were reversing the leaked kernel-level driver within a day. But CoD\u2019s developers don\u2019t seem too worried about Vanguard and Warzone\u2019s security system. In fact, they\u2019ve taken to Twitter to calm the concerns. Leaked RICOCHET Anti-Cheat was only a \u201cpre-release\u201d build Update from #TeamRicochet: \u25b6\ufe0f RICOCHET Anti-Cheat\u2122 is in controlled live testing. Before putting it on your PC, we\u2019re testing the hell out of it \u25b6\ufe0f Testing includes providing a pre-release version of the driver to select 3rd parties \u25b6\ufe0f Readying server-side upgrades for launch\u2014 Call of Duty (@CallofDuty) October 15, 2021 In a tweet shared by the official CoD account, Team Ricochet indirectly responded to concerns of the leak. The unit explained that the anti-cheat is currently in live testing, which includes a \u201cpre-release version\u201d being sent to third parties. As such, it has been inferred that the leaked kernel-level driver wasn\u2019t by an Activision mole \u2014 but instead by one such third party. If that\u2019s the case, then the build currently being reversed by hackers isn\u2019t the live version. But still, some people aren\u2019t fully convinced by this news. Warzone players still concerned about anti-cheat leak The version was signed 2 weeks ago, sure it’s an early build, but that doesn’t change because the obfuscator you use for your kernel driver is terrible? Cheat devs can quickly destroy it within hours. I hope the obfuscator you use on release is better than what’s shown. https:\/\/t.co\/U4t19SpW4j \u2014 Anti-Cheat Police Department \ud83d\udd75\ufe0f (@AntiCheatPD) October 15, 2021 While the RICOCHET devs claimed everything \u201call good,\u201d community consensus hasn\u2019t been unanimous. Popular security system account, Anti-Cheat Police Department, explained that this pre-release build doesn\u2019t lend confidence to the live version. Nonetheless, people generally seem happy to know that the battle against hackers wasn\u2019t lost in one day. As someone replied to our tweet about the CoD response, \u201cit\u2019s never chalked.\u201d Vanguard releases on November 5 and Warzone integration should happen sometime afterward. Now we just have to wait and see if any further developments crop up in the meantime.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
