Ricochet is one of the worst anti cheats on the market! Still multiple cheat providers that have not been detected so far for the entire life time of Warzone2!
A large majority of their “cheat detection” is now based on player reports, and that’s basically it.
Ricochet MIGHT catch some person messing around trying to right his own cheat from scratch for a bit of a laugh, or someone trying to hook fucking cheat engine up to MW3… Maybe…
But actual cheat providers that spend time and money to avoid it, Are just laughing at IW. What a massive waste of money the anti cheat was!
The past free weekend for Mutliplayer, one of the biggest cheat provides pure trolled by also releasing a free weekend for their cheat…Made IW their actual bitch and used their promotion to increase cheat sales XD

The thing i don’t get, is games older than every single DEV at IW, have had anti cheat measures in the past that avoided obvious hacks like this… why don’t they use stuff like that? It often doesn’t have to be some fancy kernal level anti cheat…
A simple check as to the current movement speed of a player, or distance travelled over time if it’s teleports, would easily find people teleporting around in helicopters, or infinite speed sliding around the map. And it would produce far less false positives than relying on the most salty players on planet earth reporting anything that shoots towards them!
They aren’t complete and utter morons I think… so they intentionally aren’t stopping these things… but why?

Ricochet is just a term marketing people came up with to improve the perception of warzone.

Why they would improve anything? People still buy the overpriced skins, those Premium Battle Passes, there’s still a profit to leave the way it is.

Ricochet is a glorified flagging system and PR stunt.

Ricochet is a kernel level anti cheat, it does block all Linux users from playing very well (tried on my steamdeck before knowing of this) however it doesn’t instantly ban all the time, and knowing cods dedication to anything other than selling skins, explains why it barely works. It doesn’t hurt them making money, and people will still play. However fuck the cheaters, they gain nothing and ruin the fun.

It’s possible because ricochet is a scam 👍
Report system is still their ‘anti cheat’
