Black Ops 6 anti-cheat swings ban hammer wide following rough Ranked Play launch

As a dedicated fan of Call of Duty, I’ve seen my fair share of battles, both online and offline. The launch of Black Ops 6 Ranked Play was a beacon of hope for competitive gamers like myself, offering an experience that mirrors the professional esports scene. However, the arrival of hackers has been a persistent thorn in our side, making it hard to enjoy the game as intended.


If you’re a Call of Duty player seeking competitive gameplay, look no further than Ranked Play. This mode mirrors the rules and limitations employed by esports experts, making it irresistible for those aspiring to reach the peak of the leaderboard. After the introduction of Black Ops 6’s Ranked Play, matches have unfortunately been compromised due to hacking activities.

Ever since then, players have chosen either to steer clear of the competitive mode or bravely confront the cheaters with differing results. Now that the Ranked Play season is underway for Call of Duty, the anti-cheat team has been actively working to reestablish a fair playing environment.

Black Ops 6 anti-cheat takes action

Ricochet has shed light on their ongoing initiatives to prevent hackers from exploiting advantages in Ranked Play matches. They’ve discussed their strategies that include regular sweeps every hour to eliminate them from the leaderboards, utilizing AI to strengthen rule enforcement, and have disclosed that they’ve suspended over 19,000 accounts since the launch of Ranked Play on November 21.

The announcement received numerous positive responses from players who had grown weary of facing hackers capable of instant reactions and wall penetration vision. One player expressed gratitude, “Thanks for the update,” they said. “I’ve seen significantly fewer cheaters in matches, which is great news.

On the contrary, numerous individuals argue that additional measures are necessary to minimize or even eliminate the possibility of a player cheating and exploiting their hacks to secure a win. As one exasperated spectator puts it, “This is a step in the right direction, but it needs to be significantly improved in the third year of anti-cheat.

A step forward?

Making multiple bans aimed at curbing hacking incidents in Black Ops 6’s Ranked Mode is a commendable move. It’s incredibly frustrating when you’re anticipating a fair fight with players of comparable skill, only to run into a cheater during the match. Even though 19,000 players represent just a fraction of the total, eliminating these hackers completely is crucial if we want Ranked Play to maintain a low level of hacking and ensure a more enjoyable gaming experience for all.

According to Ricochet, the measures they’ve revealed are promising, but it’s evident that additional actions are required to effectively combat the problem of cheaters ruining the gameplay experience for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 players, aiming for a more balanced and competitive environment.
