Black Ops 6 flooded with hackers - huge wave of bans after the introduction of ranked mode
Ban wave after ranked mode: Since the introduction of Ranked Mode in November 2024, Activision has shown that it is seriously targeting cheaters and rule breakers. According to official information, 136,000 accounts have been permanently banned since then. This massive number shows how big the problem of unfair practices in Warzone and: Black Ops 6 is - especially in the competitive modes. With strict measures such as improved anti-cheat systems and manual reviews, Activision attempts to maintain the integrity of the game.
Black Ops 6 is particularly vulnerable to cheats because the game series has attracted a huge and competitive player base for years, always looking for an advantage. The game's popularity and the competitive environment of ranked mode make it an attractive target for cheat providers. In Black Ops 6 Season 2, the anti-cheat will receive some upgrades:
Tools such as wallhacks, aimbots or even network manipulation are increasingly being used to gain an unfair advantage in matches. In addition, many cheats are constantly being developed to bypass anti-cheat systems. The game's fast TTK (time-to-kill) and high dynamics also make it difficult to distinguish legitimate players from cheaters, further exacerbating the problem.
A historical problem: Call of Duty has been struggling for years with a massive cheating problem that has accompanied the series since its beginnings. Hacks such as aimbots, wallhacks and exploits were already widespread in the early parts of the series, and as the franchise grew in popularity the problem became more severe. Whether that is inwill change?
The multiplayer modes and Battle Royale offshoots such as Warzone in particular attracted cheaters in droves, as the competitive nature and large player base offer ideal conditions for cheat providers. Despite continued improvements to anti-cheat systems like RICOCHET, the problem persists as cheat developers continue to find new ways to bypass protections. Hopefully the cheaters will at least stay away.
