The anti-cheat team at Call of Duty, known as Team RICOCHET, has provided its initial post-launch update on Call of Duty:
Vanguard and the upcoming update for Warzone.
In the post-launch progress report blog post, Team RICOCHET was very focused on the present.
RICOCHET Anti-Cheat is now in action in Vanguard, with bans being issued since the game’s launch a week ago.
“The RICOCHET Anti-Cheat team is constantly monitoring Call of Duty:
Vanguard and is banning players during the game’s launch,” the blog post stated.
“Furthermore, in collaboration with Sledgehammer Games, #TeamRICOCHET has addressed issues concerning XP earn rates and unlocks.”
According to Team RICOCHET, players need to report suspected cheaters to help identify and confirm cheaters.
gather important information about cheating behavior and prioritize security enforcement.
Exploring the latest RICOCHET Anti-Cheat Progress Report involves looking at new and shelved mitigations,
summarizing how these fit into enforcement efforts and reviewing third-party hardware device detections, initially revealed before Season 3.
TeamRICOCHET is dedicated to fighting against cheating and removing disruptive individuals from our games.
One way we ensure fair play is by taking action against accounts found to be cheating.
We have also detailed our use of measures to address this issue and we want to remind the community about the reasons and methods behind these systems.
At times, #TeamRICOCHET might decide to use in-game roadblocks, known as mitigations, on accounts identified as cheating.
Here are some gameplay adjustments that can be implemented to limit the experience of verified cheaters:
like removing their weapons using Disarm or making legitimate players invisible to cheaters with Cloaking.
What motivates us to engage in this activity?
Exploiting video games like Call of Duty is a lucrative industry, with cheat technology always advancing. By letting cheaters stay in the game in a controlled manner,
It gives #TeamRICOCHET valuable information and prevents them from disrupting your gameplay.
By analyzing data from players who have been dealt with,
We can improve our ability to accurately identify and take action against those who are using cheat software.
As stated by Activision, the company anticipates that individuals will continue to develop new hacks to circumvent the existing systems.
While Activision can anticipate some of these cheats and plan ahead,
The publisher also stated that some cheats will emerge out of nowhere and will need the development of new methods.
For the sake of argument, let’s pretend that we are aware of all the evil methods that cheaters attempt to influence the game in order to damage your experience.
According to Activision, “Our team makes use of that knowledge to protect against undesirable behavior and to punish those who engage in such behavior.”
“While our team has been able to establish systems that can quickly detect and respond to bad behaviors, we know tomorrow will continue to deliver new and evolving threats.”
Rather than that, the focus is on enhancing the rate at which Ricochet can identify inappropriate behavior and promptly implement one of the numerous “mitigation” strategies available in the game.
Activision stated that the studio will be able to get a better understanding of what they can do in the future to better safeguard the game if they use these tactics.
“That is what we do here daily. At the same time as we are collecting new data, analyzing it,
and putting in place more modifications, we are continuing to reinforce our systems.
To put it another way, we are constantly in the process of attempting to counteract cheating,” the publisher added.
To avert problems that are similar to those that have occurred in the past,
Activision began implementing “mitigation” strategies to assist in learning what cheaters are doing.
For the time being, Activision allows cheaters to continue playing the game even after they have been discovered, but they are substantially limited in their skills.
Cheaters are allowed to remain in the game, which provides the Ricochet team at Activision with additional time and resources to investigate their conduct.
Cheaters, for whatever reason, give themselves the impression that they are superior by utilizing software to win games that they have no right to win.
When you hit them with mitigations, those ecstatic feelings of being fake-best are transformed into wonderful aches of annoyance.
“Activision has shown us the clips,” the company added.
Damage Shield is the name of one of the ways that the problem can be mitigated.
It is still possible for the person who has been proven to be cheating to shoot at you and deal damage, but the player who is not cheating will receive an increase in damage.
There is another technique known as cloaking, which renders the player who is not cheating invisible to the player who is being shot.
Meanwhile, the cheater is left trying to find their target as they are left whirling around, leaving themselves susceptible in the process.
Disarming is yet another method of mitigating the risk.
Taking away the cheater’s weapons, including their fists, is exactly what this does, as its name says.
“As cheaters change tactics, we see a slight spike but, according to this data,
Over time, our mitigation systems and other anti-cheat initiatives can quickly get back on track so you can focus on your experience,” stated Activision Entertainment.
The publisher has hinted that it is working on more mitigation strategies.
Some of these strategies are already available in the game, while others will be made available at a later time.
Activision has stated that their secondary objective is to “annoy as many cheaters as we can” in order to assist in driving them out of the game.
This is in addition to the primary objective of eliminating unfair play.
Additionally, Activision has banned cheating in Warzone and Vanguard.
Since the end of April 2022, the publisher has announced that it has banned an additional 180,000 gamers across both Warzone and Vanguard combined.
The upcoming video game titles Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2.0 will both have Ricochet as a playable character later this year.
Activision has mentioned that players will come across cheaters in those games; nonetheless, the corporation has stated that it will not give up on its efforts to eradicate dishonest activity.
“Will you come across people who cheat?
The firm stated that “sadly, this may be the case;
However, we are working tirelessly to become faster and better to get them out of the game (either by force or by annoyance) and allow you to concentrate on having fun.”
