Activision shares updated stats as Black Ops 7 beta cheaters banned

While there were some early viral clips of cheaters in the Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 beta, the Ricochet anti-cheat team was quick to swing the ban hammer. According to Activision, a whopping 97% of cheaters were detected and banned within 30 minutes. 

In a new post over the weekend, Activision shared a few stats from the Ricochet anti-cheat team during the early access period of the Black Ops 7 beta. During this period, they report having stopped 97% of cheaters within 30-minutes of their first sign-in. On top of that, apparently fewer than 1% of cheating attempts reached a match.

Cheat providers have had to list their Black Ops 7 cheats as ‘detected'. While there will no doubt be a cheat that makes its way through undetected eventually, the COD anti-cheat team is now so large that any new cheats should be tackled fairly quickly. This, combined with the new SecureBoot and TPM 2.0 measures should make it much harder for cheaters to disrupt the experience in Black Ops 7 multiplayer modes.

Activision is also monitoring a large number of cheat-selling sites and targeting them with lawsuits to disrupt things further. Apparently, more than 40 cheat developers and resellers were shut down over the past year since Black Ops 6 launched.
