Overview

• Team Ricochet reports that 97% of cheaters were stopped within 30 minutes during the beta’s opening days, and fewer than 1% reached a match before being removed within minutes.
• The anti-cheat team attributes the results to strengthened TPM 2.0 checks, Secure Boot requirements on PC, and automated/kernel-level detections.
• Activision says many viral clips of cheating involved accounts that had already been actioned before the footage spread on social media.
• The company claims it has helped shutter more than 40 cheat developers and resellers since Black Ops 6, and says major providers now label their tools “unusable” or “detected.”
• Treyarch has extended the open beta to Thursday, Oct. 9 at 9 a.m. PT with a new 6v6 map, Toshin, and optional playlists with reduced SBMM, as journalists caution that the published percentages lack raw numbers and reflect only detected incidents.
