Call of Duty team reveals Ricochet anti-cheat system for Warzone and Vanguard

The Call of Duty team has revealed Ricochet Anti-Cheat, a new initiative to combat cheating in Call of Duty: Warzone and Call of Duty: Vanguard.Ricochet was revealed not long after a warning was issued to cheaters yesterday, saying, “there’s no tolerance for cheaters.” The devs expand on this, adding, “cheating in Call of Duty is frustrating for players, developers, and the entire community.”Ricochet Anti-Cheat is described as a “multi-faceted approach to combat cheating, featuring new server-side tools which monitor analytics to identify cheating, enhanced investigation processes to stamp out cheaters, updates to strengthen account security, and more.” These features will launch with Call of Duty: Vanguard, and will arrive for Call of Duty: Warzone with the Pacific update.On top of this, a new “PC kernel-level driver” will also arrive for Warzone with the Pacific update (it will arrive later for Vanguard) and will “assist in the identification of cheaters, reinforcing and strengthening the overall server security.” The devs add that although the kernel driver will release for PC, “by extension, console players playing via cross-play against players on PC will also stand to benefit.”The Ricochet Anti-Cheat team promises its “commitment is the relentless pursuit of fair play, which is fought against the sophisticated issue of cheating. We are 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.”You can find out more about Ricochet Anti-Cheat over on the Call of Duty site.
