Activision announced with great fanfare that its new cheater detection system would end the biggest scourge that has affected the saga in its entire history. However, it seems that RICOCHET It has not been as effective as the users and the company itself thought. For this reason, developers must continue to apply strategies and measures, such as this last one, which seems to us the most original of all.
Warzone’s invincible mode
RICOCHET anti-cheat arrived to bring order to a battle royale that had been filled with cheaters. Extensive gimmicks (especially among PC gamers) made the game a hostile place where fair play had long since disappeared. Those legal players who simply enjoyed the game ended up completely frustrated by the inability to face players who used automatisms.
For that reason the cheater control system was born, and after failing to achieve an alleged extreme vigilance, the development team of RICOCHET has been forced to introduce some adjustments, like this one called Damage Shield, which protects the legal and punishes cheaters. And all in a very discreet way.
What is Damage Shield?
As the name suggests, we are talking about shield damage or defense damage, something that refers to the shield protection modules that the player can equip in the game. This protection prevents them from taking fatal shots first, though they are affected by critical hits, which leave the player one hit away from KO.
The tweak in question is intended for legal players, as if they get shot by a cheater player, they can never be critical, thus largely preventing cheaters from being able to take players down immediately. Thus, the player who makes use of illegal cheats and tools will be extremely vulnerable, since the system detects their cheats and applies an automatic adjustment that prevents them from being able to inflict critical damage.
It works?
Instead of banning and kicking players from the game (something that requires a higher level of monitoring), the system detects cheaters and applies an adjustment that could often go unnoticed. It is undoubtedly a very intelligent measure that, although it will not eradicate the problem yet, it could quite annoy those who use this type of practice.
According to Activision, after a period of testing, the system is currently officially reviewing and constantly monitoring harmful players around the world, but remember that you can always send game reports to review the behavior of a certain player in case of suspicion or evidence, since the repetitions of the kill cam They are essential to detect this type of users. All fight against this plague is little, so it will be necessary to support these initiatives and help as much as possible so that this type of behavior disappears completely. Otherwise, playing would stop making sense.
