Hacking has been an inevitable problem in gaming for the last few years. Not to mention that it has left many players frustrated with the rise of such incidents. Especially when it comes to the Call of Duty franchise. It’s no secret that the series has witnessed a flood of instances involving notorious cheaters in its games, including the ongoing offerings like Modern Warfare II and Warzone 2.

But now, it looks like hackers won’t be able to survive for long. Call of Duty devs have recently rolled out their enhanced version of RICOCHET. Going by what’s been revealed so far, the tool is expected to be a nightmare for those who tend to cheat in online matches.

An improved RICOCHET Anti-Cheat in Season 3 will likely keep cheaters at bay in Call of Duty Modern Warfare II

In case anyone missed keeping track of events, Activision unveiled an upgraded version of its RICOCHET anti-cheat, a few days ago. While mentioning all the necessary details in an official blog, the makers informed that it’s become better and stronger now, ahead of the upcoming Season 3.

Starting with the new season, RICOCHET will be able to detect the usage of third-party devices used for cheating in Call of Duty Modern Warfare II and Warzone 2. Simply put, it can detect the presence of banned hardware, such as Cronus, attached to a user’s system while playing the games. Such devices end up giving an unfair advantage to certain players.

After the Season 3 update, anyone found using banned hardware, as detected by RICOCHET anti-cheat, will first see a message on their screen. It will inform them about the potential action that could be taken against them if they continue using the suspicious device.

“Continued improper use of these devices may lead to additional warnings, the deployment of mitigations, account or feature suspensions, or the banning of the offending account across Call of Duty titles, per our Security and Enforcement Policy,” read the blog dedicated to the RICOCHET anti-cheat tool.
