New anti-cheat measure makes cheaters completely helpless

Last minute The world stood up after Putins decision in

The special anti-cheat software Ricochet from CoD Vanguard and Warzone is being expanded with a new function. The “Disarm” feature should get even more on the cheaters in the future.

How Disarm works: How Disarm works is as simple as it is fun. If a player is identified by the system as a cheater, the game will immediately take away their guns.

This doesn’t just refer to the firearms or melee weapons, but even their fists. This renders the cheaters completely helpless and easy prey for the other players. So the function turns the tables.

There are also these features: Disarm easily fits in with the previous, extremely annoying-sounding functions that the anti-cheat system Ricochet has to offer. These include, for example:

  • Damage Shield: If a cheater is identified, honest players in the match will receive a shield that drastically reduces the cheater’s damage. It ensures he wastes his ammo and can be spotted by players through hit feedback.
  • Cloaking: This function ensures that the cheaters’ shots make normal players invisible. This also applies to the projectiles and the sounds of the players, making them impossible to detect.

    • The functions are not only designed to identify and block the cheaters, but above all to rob them of the sense of achievement that cheating gives them. Many of them are also severely humiliated.

    Ricochet works, but…

    There are these results: In the blog post with information about Ricochet, the team also states that there have been an additional 180,000 bans in Warzone and Vanguard since the last cheater report on April 26th. The bans happen both daily and in larger waves.

    In a graph, the team shows that the matches in which Ricochet’s measures were active experienced significantly fewer cheater reports than matches in which these measures were absent. So it shows that the anti-cheat is working.

    Blue line shows matches with ricochet protection, red shows matches with cheater reports.

    However, the battle against cheating is never over, as the blog post states. As soon as new cheat software is developed, the number of cases and reports increases again. However, Ricochet helps the developers to identify the new waves of cheaters more quickly and to react accordingly.

    What do you all mean? In your experience, has the number of cheaters decreased noticeably or has nothing changed? What do you think of the Ricochet anti-cheat measures? Write us your opinion in the comments.
