Black Ops 7 Cheaters Will Be Hit With The “Full Force” Of Activision’s Anti-Cheat Tools

One of the hardest fights in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 has been between the developer and the cheaters. Activision has warned cheaters in the recent past, and ramped up its response to the issue as well. Now, the publisher is taking a bow by demonstrating how some of the latest anti-cheat measures have been implemented in the game.

On Call of the Duty’s official site, Activision cited its in-game mitigations that disrupt cheaters in matches by making their weapons disappear or blowing up their cars. “They then promptly tell on themselves across social media, asking ‘Why did this happen?'”

“These are our mitigations at work, ramped up and powered by new detection systems that have been extremely effective at disrupting bad actors in real-time,” continued the developer. “We don’t hit every cheater with these mitigations; most are banned upon detection. But in August alone, over 55,000 cheaters were disrupted by Call of Duty’s mitigations.”

After nerfing cheaters in action, the developer collects info about the users and permanently ban them. The post also touched upon the RICOCHET anti-cheat tools that are being tested during the Black Ops 7 beta. However, “the full force of our protections will be reserved for launch, when all systems come online together.”

Black Ops 7 is coming to consoles and PC on November 14, but there has been some controversy about skins from Black Ops 6 not carrying over to the new game. Activision has since stated that a small handful of Black Ops 6 zombie skins and operators will be available in Black Ops 7.
