    who cares about all this bs? Can’t we just ban cheaters

  2. Full-0f-Beans

    This is nothing. Just ban them. The punishment is the easy part, the problem is ricochet isn’t identifying the cheaters well enough.

  3. AdStriking3836

    Ricochet is the biggest lie in the history.

  4. clearlynotmee

    They can’t event detect cheaters, this is bullshit marketing fluff

  5. AethelBlackheart

    I can’t wait for this to start tagging the wrong players because of a bug lmao

  6. Brorkarin

    Cheaters belong in Jail! This sounds fun i might try cheating just to be able to fly

    With Lag, if a cheater is discovered, we may randomly, and for fun, decrease the tick rate on our servers to a dog shit level to the point that the game is unplayable. But what if they’ve already won a fight? We can also inject packet burst so that they rubber band all over the place.

    So remember kids, next time you’re experiencing gutter tier server performance, it’s because we’re trying to evaluate whether you are a cheater because you got 7 kills last game, because we are serious and sophisticated engineers.

    COD WZ being free really opens it up for cheating.

    What it needs is a kernel level anti-cheat that requires TPM and can hardware ban. I dont know what method Raven uses to ban, but I doubt it’s this. They likely ban via IP, or via Account which makes it easy for a cheater to spin up another account and continue cheating.

    If they had kernel level anti-cheat they could hardware ban players, requiring new hardware (GPU, MOBO, CPU etc) in order to make a new account and continue cheating.

    I’m sure there is still a way around this as well, but it would make it exponentially more difficult for little Timmy to download scripts, or walls.

    Jfc just kick them out of the lobby and ban them??

  10. Absolutist-Maybe-8

    How come cheaters are close to non-existent in FN pubs? but WZ is….WZ?

  11. automated10

    “We’re making memes out of cheating… cheat now to find out what wacky fortnight physics we’ve implemented!” OR JUST FKING BAN THEM?

  12. ProbablyPewping

    Oh Wow… how about you just make a better anti-cheat

  13. Legitimate_Zombie_96

    I remember a guy on here who had this mechanic happen on him and he kept saying he wasn’t cheating lmao

  14. FaFa_1018

    How about we ban cheaters and use the time and resources to improve audio and gun balance. Just an opinion 🤷🏾

  15. dallassportsguy

    My parachute had been doing that for years already tho.

  16. Luke_starkiller34

    This isn’t new. It’s been in effect for a while now. They haven’t done shit.

  17. Theptgamer_88

    U know that Ricochet has trouble to detect any sort of external scripting device such as Cronus right?

    And there are servers that the Ricochet doesn’t even work so 😅 just saying the folks on Raven aren’t working

  18. Which_Ranger_440

    “We may randomly and for fun” – wtf does this mean. They are only going to do it randomly to a cheater once they have confirmed a cheater? So cheater will get away with cheating 5 of 10 games or what? Splat or mitigated in other ways 50% of the time? Lol this is such BS. This ain’t a step up at all. Once this becomes more well known, it either makes the cheater just auto quit and restart into a new lobby to see if it happens next game… cuz if it’s not guaranteed then they just play the games where they aren’t being screwed with and still get to screw others. If it happens constantly and they know this is a hack mitigation then it effectively makes them choose to make a new account. JUST FORCE THE BAN.

    Finally? What do you mean, this is not any new news. This post about “Splat” has been out for several months.

  20. This is a weak approach to dealing with cheaters. As soon as “Ricochet” confirms a player is cheating, just instantly ban them.

  21. darky_tinymmanager

    just ban them. I see people falling. But they join just an other round? OR do they fall all the time?
