Call of Duty gets new anti-cheat system that uses PC kernel-level driver to catch cheaters

Call of Duty: Warzone is getting the new anti-cheat system Ricochet first while Call of Duty: Vanguard will get it later.

Call of Duty players need to be a lot more cautious than before as Activision has announced its new anti-cheat system will use a combination of PC kernel-level driver, machine learning, and a team of investigating professionals to clamp down on cheaters. Activision made an announcement through a Twitter post, urging players to stop using illegal programmes, cheat codes, and hacks in the PC versions of Call of Duty, which include Call of Duty: Warzone and Call of Duty: Vanguard.

The PC kernel-level driver that will support the anti-cheat system has been built by Activision especially for the Call of Duty franchise. It will be available on Call of Duty: Warzone first with the Pacific update that is coming soon. Activision’s solution to catching cheaters uses some very sophisticated technology that runs at extremely high levels in Windows, which is why there is an issue of privacy because of deep access.
