Raven Software, developer of Call of Duty: Warzone, appears to be implementing a new mechanism to deal with players using illegal software to gain an advantage in the game.
According to videos posted on Reddit, the damage generated by the weapons of users who use programs to improve their performance are being drastically decreased.
Thanks to this initiative, cheating players are at a disadvantage compared to the rest of the competitors in this popular Battle Royale game.
In one of Shared recordings show a player who, despite using an aimbot, which helps improve the accuracy of his shots, continually dies because his weapons cause as little damage as possible.
This new tactic from Raven Software f It is part of their anti-cheat system called Ricochet which was officially released at the end of 2021 . This occurred after constant complaints from users about the indiscriminate use of illegal software by some players.
Until now, Ricochet’s operation only involved the banning of accounts where suspicious activity was detected, however, this new modality does more difficult for hackers to take advantage of vulnerabilities in the game.
The developers of the hacks themselves have indicated through their websites that they are unaware the scope of the new implemented system and if they will be able to find a solution to be able to continue operating without being detected.
“The brand persists even when it is not you are using cheats. We do not know how long it lasts but we suspect that it is eliminated when the system detects that the shooting accuracy is reduced”, they indicated
What do the players say?
The gaming community has expressed doubts regarding the new functionality of Ricochet. Although they qualify as something positive that the company works to eliminate the use of external programs that affect the competitiveness of the game, they believe that the new mechanism can be dangerous.
They consider that a system of this type is risky because could detect and affect the performance of players who are not cheating, but on the contrary have a high performance as it happens with professional players .
“Imagine that the system gives players with poorer shooting accuracy greater damage for each bullet”, questioned a Reddit user.
