Call of Duty Anti-Cheat Update

Activision shares an RICOCHET Anti-Cheat Update, discussing how the ongoing war against cheating in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Call of Duty: Warzone as the military shooter siblings head into Season 03. This covers a range of related topics, including success stories of shutting down cheat developers and updates to features like the killcam, bot-detection, and functionality. Here's word on ban activity since the latest Call of Duty came calling, and hints about more anti-cheat innovations to come:

Team RICOCHET has issued over 228,000 bans since Black Ops 6 was released. We removed 23% of cheaters before they played their first match. These are strong wins for the game, but there’s always more we can do to get better in both speed and efficiency.

As an additional layer to existing anti-cheat processes, we’re launching brand-new systems in Season 03. For security reasons, we can’t give away too many details; however, we will publish another RICOCHET Progress Report in the release window of Season 03 Reloaded to detail results from next week’s update. Several of our current systems are getting big updates this season, too, including our aim bot detections and the Machine Learning system that analyzes game replays to identify suspicious gameplay for human-validated enforcement.
