Call of Duty: Warzone: now punishes cheaters in an innovative way

In Call of Duty: Warzone and Vanguard, cheaters are now punished in a particularly creative way. Thanks to the method, unfair players are guaranteed to lose out in the next battle.

Call of Duty: Warzone – Activision’s fight against cheaters enters the next round

The fight against unfair players will probably continue for a while in Activision’s Battle Royale offshoot Call of Duty: Warzone and the independent title called Vanguard. Luckily, the in-house team RICOCHET never tires of coming up with innovative ways to make life difficult for cheaters.

Im just recently published From the team’s blog, we get detailed insights into the process of fighting for fair play and how to make Call of Duty: Warzone and Vanguard a better experience for everyone. To do this, we will first explain how anti-cheat solutions work and how it is practically impossible to ban cheaters from the game once and for all.

Nevertheless, we are constantly working on new solutions to outwit those who behave unfairly. Luckily, RICOCHET’s anti-cheat tool is always learning and evolving, and now has a whole toolbox of ways to stop cheaters. In addition to the damage shield or cloaking, which will be discussed in more detail in the blog, there is now a new possibility with the disarm to protect fair players and punish cheaters in a creative way.

Disarm: How the new anti-cheat tool works

With Disarm, cheaters who are discovered by the RICOCHET Anti-Cheat-Tool can easily have their weapons taken away while the game is running. So they practically stand in front of you with their pants down when it comes to the next battle. They can’t even hit with their fists. But ridiculing unfair players is not the original purpose behind the method.

The primary purpose of these forms of mitigation is to keep the cheaters in the game long enough to gather more information that can be used to better stop them in the future. Although the mitigations have a positive effect on the gaming experience, the RICOCHET team has had the greatest success so far with severe penalties: 180,000 cheaters have already been banned since the last update in February of the year.
