In their ongoing battle against cheaters, the team behind Call of Duty’s anti-cheat solution, known as Ricochet, has introduced a new technique called Disarm. This technique takes away a cheater’s weapons, including their fists, when they are identified by the system. This latest mitigation method is aimed at reducing the impact of cheaters on legitimate players’ experiences while allowing the Ricochet team to analyze cheater data.

Disarm joins Ricochet’s existing anti-cheat techniques, including Damage Shield and Cloaking. Damage Shield activates God Mode for legitimate players when a cheater is detected, while Cloaking makes it impossible for cheaters to see opponents, bullets, or hear sounds.

Despite the focus on mitigation techniques, the team emphasizes that bans remain the primary deterrent to cheating. They have banned over 180,000 players across Warzone and Vanguard. The Ricochet anti-cheat system, including its PC kernel-level driver, will be operational for the upcoming launch of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2.0.

This update comes amidst significant developments for Activision Blizzard, including the announcement of Overwatch 2’s release date and the company’s response to allegations of a toxic workplace culture. Despite investigations claiming no widespread harassment or systemic issues, controversy surrounding the company’s handling of sexual harassment allegations persists, particularly regarding CEO Bobby Kotick’s awareness of such issues.
