When Warzone was overrun by cheaters, plenty of Call of Duty fans begged for an anti-cheat system. They got their wish when the battle royale devs introduced RICOCHET, but there are still plenty of issues. Most recently, PC players who were using cheats had been able to disguise themselves as console users through Xbox Game Pass. While the devs cracked down on that practice, hackers have still caused chaos. As a result, the devs have continued to roll out ban waves and anti-cheat updates. In their newest bid to tackle the problems, they shut down some lobby scraping apps. These apps allow players to check which players are in the lobby, making boosting easier. Now, RICOCHET will kick anyone who it detects using these apps. However, players aren\u2019t sold on it. \u201cIf it doesn\u2019t fight aimbotters and wallhackers, I couldn\u2019t care less,\u201d one player bemoaned. \u201cWho the f*ck cares about stream sniping. What a useless update,\u201d another added. On the flip side, some argued that the app was \u201cfine\u201d, hurt no one,\u201d and that their priorities were in the wrong place. \u201cFocus on real cheaters rather than WZ agent app users,\u201d one said. \u201cOne of the few tools to combat actual cheaters. This is unbelievable. They will do anything except have a working anti-cheat,\u201d commented another player. Other players urged the devs to focus on other additions, such as console-only lobbies. \u201cHaven\u2019t played in a year but this seems useless. Maybe try combating the hackers? People have been asking for console-only crossplay forever,\u201d one chimed in. Some fans have also asked for fixes to the incorrect shadow bans that have been rolled out over the last few weeks. \u201cIt\u2019s a broken system. It only hurts the legit paying players that are wrongfully put into restricted matchmaking over and over,\u201d another said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Warzone players bash \u201cuseless\u201d update that does nothing to fight cheaters ActivisionWarzone players have hit out at the newest update in the battle royale\u2019s fight against cheaters, with some calling it \u201cuseless\u201d for most players.
