Earlier this week, Call of Duty’s fiercely competitive Ranked Play made its debut in Black Ops 6 multiplayer. However, it’s not all smooth sailing; players have already been grappling with a surge of cheaters disrupting the experience. The gaming community’s frustration hasn’t gone unnoticed, as Activision has stepped forward to acknowledge the issue and is actively working on solutions to bolster the game’s anti-cheat mechanisms.
Just this past week, the Call of Duty Updates team shared some insights on the matter via social media, indicating they’re heavily invested in tackling the problem. They’ve made progress on several fronts: a data outage had once undermined the effectiveness of the AI systems within the Ricochet anti-cheat, but it’s now been fixed and adjustments are underway to enhance its capability.
Despite Ricochet being deployed across Black Ops 6 and Warzone, crafty cheaters have managed to slip through and wreak havoc in Ranked Play. Activision is taking it seriously, working behind the scenes to improve the situation. Beyond fixing the outage, they’re ramping up efforts like aggressively targeting dubious accounts and fast-tracking the review process for potential cheaters.
For those unfamiliar with Ranked Play, it’s essentially a competitive ladder designed to mirror the official rules, maps, and game modes found in the Call of Duty League. It’s a chance for players to experience professional-level gameplay settings. If you’re interested, there are resources available outlining all the mode restrictions and recommended loadouts to enhance your play. Fingers crossed, the cheaters will soon be a thing of the past.
Switching gears to other news in the Call of Duty universe, fans are eagerly anticipating the arrival of Black Ops 6’s new Zombies map, Citadelle des Morts, set to release early next month. Keep an eye out for all the latest details!
