Warzone players convinced anti-cheat is failing as hackers surge again in Season 1 ActivisionThe Warzone community is up in arms once again as cheaters have returned with a vengeance in Season 1. As almost every lobby fills with hacking players, many are even convinced the Ricochet anti-cheat system has stopped working. The Warzone cheating crisis has reached new heights in Season 1, quite literally. Despite the introduction of a custom anti-cheat system at the tail end of 2021, the new year has seen an unprecedented hacking resurgence. Not only are cheaters filling essentially \u201cevery match\u201d once again, but they\u2019re doing so with brand new methods of destruction. As a result, the community is nearing its breaking point. Many have even demanded Warzone 2 launch as a full-price title just to help avoid the issue. With the game \u201cabsolutely infested,\u201d some are now questioning whether Ricochet is doing its job. \u201cDid [Activision] turn off the anti-cheat?\u201d one player asked. \u201cThis is worse than the last days of Verdansk. When Ricochet was announced in October, it came as Warzone\u2019s hacking situation bordered on the point of being \u201cunplayable.\u201d After a slow rollout over the next few weeks, Season 1 was ushered in and before long, the community considered it a high point. \u201cCan we all agree that Ricochet has been an overwhelming success?\u201d players said at the time. Just a few weeks later and this early positivity has quickly turned sour. As Season 1 begins to wind down, many are now arguing \u201cthere\u2019s no point in playing\u201d due to the sheer number of cheaters taking over both Caldera and Rebirth Island. A free trial weekend from a particular cheat provider appears to have been the cause for this latest surge. With thousands given free access to various exploits, Ricochet hasn\u2019t been able to keep up. \u201cWhatever kernel-level driver the anti-cheat supposedly has, doesn\u2019t seem to be working, one Reddit user claimed. Despite Activision suing one of the largest cheat providers, the issue now appears to be more prominent than before. With no recent comments from the developers, there\u2019s no telling how long it may be until new improvements are rolled out. In the meantime, there\u2019s a good chance every lobby has at least one cheater for you to be cautious of. Whether they\u2019re flying vehicles or locking on across the map, expect some unfair gunfights in the leadup to Warzone Season 2.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
