Gaming News Call of Duty: Grilled, these imposters can no longer use their gear and it’s good for them
Like good and bad, Call of Duty and cheaters have been fighting each other for quite some time. However, Activision recently made a strong case by updating its famous anti-cheat software and urging affected players to sell their gear on the internet.
The fight goes on
Multiplayer games are often the target of intense fraud by hundreds of players: a real scourge that has raged for years, unbalancing everyone’s games. Some publishers have decided to take the bull by the horns like Activision with Ricochet, an anti-cheat software used specifically for Call of Duty.
When the operation was launched it was a success, but unfortunately the struggle is constant as scammers adopt new methods to circumvent the rules over time. Neverthelesslast week the developers updated the famous Ricochet so that it can pack a real punch: it now detects (and bans) anyone who uses additional hardware for automatic aiming.
Pushed out
Obviously anyone using these auto-aim materials has no use for them anymore. On Reddit, a user shared a screenshot where many scammers sell their specific hardware – XIM, Cronus Zen or ReaSnow S1 keys, all of which are now recognized by Ricochet – claiming that these work well on Apex Legends.
You should know that Activision isn’t the only one getting their hands dirty in pursuit of self-goals.
A few weeks ago, It was Ubisoft that indicated that they would start the fight against all those using third-party hardware dedicated to cheatingwho wants to rid Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege of this weed.
Finally, Destiny 2 and Overwatch 2 are also affected by the same issue. “It’s something we’re studying right now”Bungie admitted last February. It remains to be seen what measures will be taken to eliminate the problem.
