Richochet, a new anti-cheat software from the Call of Duty series, is now available for Call of Duty: Vanguard. The kernel-level PC anti-cheat program, developed for Call of Duty: Warzone in 2021, is now available in the latest game in the series.
The driver includes "All Upgrades" since the launch of Battle Royale mode in 2021, as well as a brand new upgrade for Vanguard. Of course, these new updates were also added to Warzone's Richette to "bring fairness to the anti-cheat drivers of both games," Activision said in a blog post.
"This is a necessary step when making a major update to our anti-cheat system to minimize any issues players may encounter." The company explains.
Activision also clarified that anyone banned for cheating in Warzone or Vanguard will be removed from the leaderboard. More importantly, the move provides new ideas for further strategies adopted by open and hang players. "Camouflage" is a new system that prevents players who are identified as open and hanging from seeing other players in the game.
"Open-hook players will not be able to detect characters, bullets, or even sounds from legitimate players. However, legitimate players can see that the opener is affected by the 'camouflage' system... And they can be punished in the game. ”
In addition, Activision announced that it has blocked more than 54,000 accounts since it announced the ban on 90,000 accounts at the end of March. Activision said: "While we may not announce all the bans in time, they happen every day, wave after wave." ”
Finally, Activision said it will encourage players to continue to report cheaters, and Activision's anti-cheat tools can play a role as cheaters continue to find new ways to succeed.
Season 3 of Warzone and Vanguard went live on April 27, another big season for call of Duty. As part of Operation Monarch, Godzilla and King Kong will be in Warzone in May. In addition, Activision will launch Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2 this year, which may be a recent pivotal moment in the series.
