Rapid Cheater Bans in Black Ops 7 Beta by Activision’s Advanced Anti-Cheat System, Ricochet
The beta for Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 has just launched, and Activision’s anti-cheat system, Ricochet, is already actively combating cheaters. According to the official Call of Duty Updates account on X, Ricochet identified and banned 97% of cheaters within the first half-hour of the beta. The anti-cheat team noted that Ricochet caught many automatically, even before player reports, indicating the system’s rapid and autonomous operation. Less than 1% of all cheat attempts made it into actual gameplay, and Ricochet quickly removed those users. This effectiveness is further supported by admissions from several cheat-selling websites that their programs are incompatible with Black Ops 7. Ricochet incorporates machine learning, leveraging data from previous titles like Black Ops 6 to detect suspicious patterns. On PC, it utilizes technologies such as TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot to prevent unauthorized game modifications.
Permanent Bans Across CoD Titles Possible for Cheaters in Black Ops 7 Beta Despite Activision’s Ongoing Anti-Cheat Strengthening
Despite these measures, some players have reported encountering cheaters in the beta, leading to speculation that the anti-cheat system may not be fully deployed during this testing phase. Players caught cheating face the severe consequence of a permanent ban across all Call of Duty titles, not just Black Ops 7. Activision is actively using this beta period to strengthen its security protocols ahead of the game’s official release on November 14.
