Warzone players are convinced new anti-cheat measure reduces damage ActivisionA secret new anti-cheat measure has allegedly been rolled out in Warzone, one that appears to drastically nerf damage for players with notably sharp aim. Warzone\u2019s anti-cheat system, RICOCHET, may have just received a huge upgrade. Although hackers have still been running rampant in the CoD BR, despite Activision\u2019s best efforts, a new change seems to have been implemented under the surface to help the situation. A new adjustment spotted by a particular cheating group appears to reduce damage output for specific accounts. Anyone with silent aim or wallhacks could have their profiles impacted by this tweak fairly soon, players claimed. Regardless of your weapons or equipment, damage is \u201creduced by a lot. It makes it very hard to kill people,\u201d one cheat provider explained. New anti-cheat measure in Warzone Rather than outright blocking cheaters from Warzone, this new method could directly give normal players the upper hand over hackers. With their weapons dealing less damage, it could lead to free kills across a wide range of lobbies. Better yet, accounts remain with this damage reduction for quite some time. \u201cThe flag persists even when you aren\u2019t using cheats,\u201d the cheat provider said. \u201cI suspect it goes away on its own once your accuracy becomes human-like again for a while. Or maybe it\u2019s permanent and this is just Activision\u2019s way of trolling us. We don\u2019t know.\u201d Naturally, Warzone cheaters are already trying to work around the new system upgrade. Additional settings are now in development for this particular group of accounts, intending to provide an \u201caccuracy slider\u201d to try and avoid detection. Playing with a lower accuracy setting would still apply an aimbot feature, but it may not be as obvious as the higher accuracy option. At least, that\u2019s their hope on paper. Furthermore, this new anti-cheat measure could impact Warzone across the board. Not only can it detect those using malicious software to hack, but it could even nerf those with powerful controller hacks too. \u201cTo be clear, this will be affecting all aimbot cheats,\u201d the group added. \u201cInternal cheats, external cheats, even controller scripts, and Cronus. If your accuracy is too good to be human, then you will be flagged.\u201d Warzone players concerned by new anti-cheat system While this appears to be a positive step forward in tackling Warzone\u2019s cheater crisis, it\u2019s also raised more than a few eyebrows. With Activision\u2019s history of silently changing features in the backend, some with game-changing implications, many grew suspicious of this discovery. \u201cThe fact there is a system that can do such a thing and reduce damage per bullet is actually a scary observation,\u201d one player chimed in on Reddit. The main cause for concern is just how accurate the system is at detecting cheaters. After all, could it not hinder Warzone\u2019s top talent by mistake? \u201cConfirming that something like that is implemented in the game makes me really wonder if that only applies to real cheaters.\u201d Given the nature of the system, there may be no telling if accurate players suddenly deal less damage. With the potential for minor adjustments in the background, it might not be all too noticeable at first. But now, there\u2019s a real chance you\u2019re dealing less damage in Warzone simply due to your accuracy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
