With Season 3 of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Warzone just around the corner, Activision is ramping up its anti-cheat efforts. As part of the Call of Duty team’s preparations for the April 3 update—which includes the return of Verdansk to the popular battle royale—an official reminder has been posted on Twitter cautioning that buying or selling accounts is a direct violation of the game’s terms of use and will result in a permanent ban.
Additionally, Activision has announced that a new Ricochet anti-cheat blog will go live closer to Season 3, detailing fresh technology and security updates to protect player accounts. The publisher also reminds players to keep their accounts secure by using strong passwords and enabling two-factor authentication.
Excited to See Cheaters Face Consequences
It’s thrilling to see Activision take such a firm stance against cheaters who undermine the competitive integrity and fun of Call of Duty. For those of us who have endured suspiciously perfect aim or bizarre wallhacks, knowing that permanent bans are on the table sends a strong message: unfair play won’t be tolerated, and those trying to profit from selling dishonest accounts won’t get off easily. Season 3 and Verdansk’s grand return should usher in a reinvigorated, cheat-free experience—something that the dedicated community has been asking for.
The renewed push on Ricochet, combined with additional security measures, also signals that Activision is determined to stay one step ahead of the cheat developers. With updated detection models and ongoing enforcement, this crackdown will help ensure that Black Ops 6 and Warzone remain exciting, competitive, and fair for all players. Here’s hoping the upcoming Season 3 brings the challenging—yet legitimate—matches Call of Duty fans love.
