In a great update from the team behind the RICOCHET anti-cheat, over 23,000 Call of Duty cheaters have been banned from the game. And it’s about time too!
As gaming continues to be a fierce battle of cheaters versus developers, this is a massive win and step in the right direction for Call of Duty.
Call of Duty cheaters have been hit hard by RICHOCHET anti-cheat
When the RICOCHET anti-cheat released, the team at Activision stated that they were “dedicated and determined to evolve the Ricochet anti-cheat system over time, fighting for the community against those that aim to spoil their gaming experience.”
Part of that is this continual implementation of machine learning in helping to combat cheaters. This is certainly another layer of security in trying to prevent hackers and making sure they’re handed a Modern Warfare 3 or Warzone ban.
In addition, Microsoft, who is now the owner of Activision Blizzard, stated in a blog post that there will be “New additions to Ricochet Anti-Cheat as well as new anti-toxicity plans to continue to deliver a fun, fair and welcoming online experience for all players.”

How Activision ensures player privacy with Ricochet
Activision stated that player privacy is “extremely important” and provided some insight into what extent the kernel-level driver is active on your PC.
- The kernel-level driver operates ONLY while playing the game on PC.
- The driver is not always-on.
- The driver monitors the software and applications that interact with the game.
- When you shut down the game, the driver turns off.
Regardless, it seems the RICHOCET anti-cheat is doing a pretty solid job of handling Call of Duty cheaters and we’re hopeful it will only get better as more updates roll out.
