Due to a brief glitch in Call of Duty's anti-cheat program, the number of cheats in the game increased sharply last week. Activision had previously announced that RICOCHET Anti-Cheat had been fixed, but the publisher has now confirmed that some accounts have been banned.


"Call of Duty: Warzone" recently released an announcement saying: "The RICOCHET anti-cheat team has deployed new detections for cheaters and boosters in ranked games in Call of Duty: Warzone. The team has banned the accounts detected this time and the leaderboards have been cleaned up. Similar detections are being carried out for cheaters in ranked games in Modern Warfare 3 multiplayer games."


Previously, the Warzone leaderboard was filled with many accounts with incredible win rates, including cheats, proxy players and trumpets. Some players also pointed out that some players may use technical means to enter the lobby full of robot accounts and get amazing kill scores.


However, the game also has an "invisible ban" system, which is not based on the detection of your cheating, but when a player is reported too many times. This means that some players who perform particularly well are also prone to becoming victims, causing them to be unable to match for 3 to 14 days. Under the official announcement, a player asked Activision to stop making skins and quickly fix the "invisible ban" system.
