Activision's Anti-Cheat System Shuts Down Call of Duty for Cheaters

The Ricochet system targets players using aim assist with mouse and keyboard, with repeated offenses potentially leading to bans.

  • Activision's Ricochet anti-cheat system will now close the Call of Duty game if it detects players using aim assist with mouse and keyboard controls.
  • The anti-cheat system works across Modern Warfare 3, Modern Warfare 2, and Warzone.
  • Repeated use of these cheating tools may lead to further account action, including bans.
  • Unauthorized third-party hardware tools like XIM and Cronus Zen, which have been used by players to gain advantages, are also targeted by the Ricochet system.
  • The move is part of Activision's ongoing efforts to maintain fairness in its games, with previous actions including banning over 14,000 accounts in 24 hours for using hacks, cheats, and exploits.
