Team Ricochet Invents A New Way Of Dealing With CoD Cheaters

A new Call of Duty anti-cheat will have a unique way of dealing with cheaters
by Tit Krajnik on April 06, 2023   

Call of Duty has long been dealing with cheaters using various software and external hardware to gain an unfair advantage. And while it's fair to say that cheating will never go away, the upcoming update for Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2.0 will introduce a new and unique way of dealing with cheaters.

 

No one likes cheaters, especially Call of Duty's decided anti-cheat team Ricochet, who revealed a brief report on how it intends to improve and preserve the integrity of the game. And with the recent update, Call of Duty's anti-cheat is getting funny yet unique ways of dealing with cheaters - from yanking the guns from their hands to making their targets disappear.

The third season of Modern Warfare and Warzone 2.0 will begin on Wednesday, April 12, introducing a significant playlist patch and a massive update to the Ricochet anti-cheat system. 

Team Ricochet, known for its zero-tolerance policy for cheating, has previously banned all players from cheating, purged the accounts from the ranked top 150, and adjusted the Skill Rating for players who have frequently played with cheaters. But this time, Team Ricochet has a few more tools up its sleeve.

Starting with Season 3, a new "Replay Investigation" tool will be added to the game, allowing Team Ricochet to view automatically captured match data which will help the team identify and study cheaters and their behaviour. But that's not all.

Along with the Replay Investigation tool, Team Ricochet will implement a third-party hardware device detection developed and tested throughout Season 2. With it, all users who intend to use unsupported devices that will negatively alter the gameplay experience will receive a warning and eventually be banned if they continue using the malicious devices.
 


For those who use malicious software to gain an unfair advantage, Team Ricochet has another surprise. Starting with Season 3, Team Ricochet will implement new anti-cheat software, which will punish cheaters in hilarious ways, which the anti-cheat team documented in a series of videos.
 


One of the anti-cheat mechanisms will take the cheater's gun away, while another will make all legit players vanish before the cheater's eyes. Meanwhile, the non-cheating players can still see and shoot the cheater.

With the upcoming update, CoD Modern Warfare 2 Season 3 seems to be the turning point in the ongoing battle against cheaters, as highly-requested and long-overdue anti-cheat features finally enter the game. Whether it will reduce the number of cheating players for the first few weeks of Season 3 or leave a more meaningful impact remains a mystery, but one thing is certain - Team Ricochet is taking a step in the right direction.
