No more cheats in CoD

Like more or less all online games, Call of Duty has a problem with cheaters. To make it easier for them to progress in the games, they use a variety of "hacking" tools. These "aimbots", "wallhacks" and the like naturally cast a bad light on the game, as they spoil the fun for other, honest players.

Game developers therefore naturally try their best to step on the toes of cheaters. Activision has thus developed an anti-cheat tool called RICOCHET which will be included in the game Call Of Duty: Vanguard (released on November 5th) and Call Of Duty: Warzone will receive it a little later (in the Pacific upgrade). The tool was announced by Activision in a tweet in a rather peculiar way. He started with his passion for the games and the praise of his followers, and ended almost with "you'll see cheaters" threats.

And how does RICOCHET work? By controlling all external applications that interact with CoD during gameplay. If the system, which works at the level of the kernel of the operating system, detects unauthorized or unauthorized tools, it excludes the cheater from the game. Rebound, as the name of the new tool could be translated, will only be built into CoD for PCs, since the vast majority of cheaters use those and not consoles.
