Activision constantly works to introduce new methods to combat cheaters, particularly with the implementation of the Ricochet anti-cheat system in Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone. Players are hopeful that this trend will continue with the mobile version of the game. So, in this article, we will delve into the possibilities of anti-cheat in Warzone Mobile.

There's no official information about Warzone Mobile anti-cheat.

Activision has confirmed they are committed to the pursuit of fair play and combat cheaters, but we still have no confirmation that Warzone Mobile will have an anti-cheat system on launch.

Since Warzone Mobile is integrated with Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone, there is a high chance the game will utilise Ricochet. So, if you encounter a hacker breaking the fast-paced battle royale experience, make sure to report the suspected player.

Warzone Ricochet anti-cheat features

RICOCHET is Call of Duty's anti-cheat functioning based on machine learning. It was designed for the Call of Duty franchise and utilises new kernel-level drivers in order to prevent hackers from ruining the action. While the game is open, drivers check all the software and applications on your PC, trying to find the ones manipulating Call of Duty. This allows to ban of any suspected player immediately.

Ricochet also includes a replay investigation tool that captures the gameplay and covert it into videos for match reviews to see if their gameplay is unusual. This would allow those behind the anti-cheat to spot any wrongdoing.

RICOCHET Anti-Cheat™ proves to be helpful in fighting cheaters.

We understand players' concerns surrounding the Ricochet anti-cheat system, particularly regarding the false shadowbans. Despite this, the implementation of Ricochet did reduce the number of cheaters across Call of Duty.

Integrating Ricochet into Warzone Mobile would significantly contribute to fair play and provide a more enjoyable gameplay experience for everyone.
