Activision Says Ricochet Blocked 97% of Cheaters in Black Ops 7 Beta

The company credits strengthened TPM 2.0 checks and automated detections for the early-weekend results but has not released raw counts.

Overview

  • Team Ricochet reported that 97% of detected cheaters were stopped within 30 minutes of their first sign-in during the beta’s opening days.
  • Fewer than 1% of cheating attempts reached a match, and those accounts were removed within minutes, according to Activision.
  • Activision says major cheat sellers have marked their tools as unusable or detected, and it claims to have helped shut down over 40 developers and resellers since Black Ops 6.
  • The company is continuing to bring new protections online during the beta and says it will pursue enforcement beyond in‑game measures.
  • Reporters note the figures cover only the beta’s first two days and lack independent verification, leaving the overall scale uncertain.
