Activision has acknowledged an increase in complaints about cheaters in ranked play for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and has issued a response detailing recent banning efforts. Following a major surge in cheating incidents after the game’s October 25 launch, which disrupted gameplay for legitimate players, the company is now reportedly integrating AI technology into its anti-cheat system for Black Ops 6. Since 2021, Activision has relied on its proprietary kernel-level anti-cheat solution, Ricochet, to combat cheating across its Call of Duty titles.
