An Update from the RICOCHET Anti-Cheat Team​





Instances of cheating in Call of Duty, particularly in Ranked Play across both MP and Warzone, are frustrating and severely impact the experience for our community. We’re here to tell you what’s being done about it today and our plan for support throughout 2025.





Live now are new layers of security and protections against cheaters in Call of Duty as well as updates to protect the competitive integrity of the game:





  • Updated detection models for behavioral systems, such as aim botting, and other data points, including account trust and hardware identifiers to target serial cheaters
  • Over 136,000 Ranked Play account bans since the mode launched
  • Enhancing cross-examination tools focused on reducing the time it takes to action accounts
  • New detection and warning systems for Spam Reporting by accounts
    • Note: Malicious Reporting is against the Security and Enforcement Policy, which you can read online. It’s important to clarify that when a user spams the report button in-game multiple times against a user, or someone uses an illegal cheat tool to spam 10,000 reports, our system does not consider more than one single report from a player versus another (despite what cheat developers are telling players when they try to sell their illegal software).
  • New detection and warning systems for repeat Playing with Cheaters behavior
    • Note: When a cheater is banned, our system will detect other accounts it had regularly partied up with and raise flags for investigation to combat boosting and other cheater behavior.




We have seen community questions about detection methods, like IP-based banning. We do not utilize IP-based bans for anti-cheat because they tend to take action against entire groups within a range that aren’t problematic. For example, a college campus or internet café would be swept up in an IP-based ban wave when only a single machine was targeted.





In December, we announced that we’re implementing major upgrades to the currently online and active kernel-level driver for Season 02, as well as upgrades to server-side systems in early 2025. Here’s more on what to expect from these updates, and when they’re set to be added:


  • Season 02:
    • New and improved client and server-side detections and systems
    • Major kernel-level driver update
      • Improvements to driver security
      • Reinforced encryption process
    • New tampering detection system




We’re not slowing down in our mission to shut down cheaters whose only mission is to ruin the fun for everyone else, and we’re confident that the combination of the updates above, as well as ongoing improvements to our detection systems and Activision’s continued legal actions against illegal cheat sellers, will provide a demonstrably healthier gameplay experience going forward.

If they were serious about eliminating cheating (I believe they are not ) one easy step would be to stop making cod for last gen consoles , the new consoles won't allow foreign software ie Cronus etc.
This would only leave the PC cheats.

Cheats buy a lot of copies of cod and micro transactions all Activision are concerned about is money not gamers having fun with their mates.

Cheating is only out of control because Activision allow it to be
