Warzone hackers have evolved again to completely trick anti-cheat

Cheaters are an ongoing problem in Warzone, with many players reporting that their matches have been ruined. Now, though, it seems that hacks have evolved to the point they can actually turn themselves off and back on to avoid detection from RICOCHET anti-cheat.
Warzone Season 2 has been mostly well-received by the community, with players loving the new BP50 AR and RAM-9 SMG, as well as the return of Fortune’s Keep and Ranked Play. However, there has also been an influx of cheaters as social media has been flooded with reports.
The devs did post an update on how their anti-cheat software, RICOCHET, is combating hackers, but many felt that simply banning the accounts wasn’t enough. Despite their best efforts, PC players in particular often find themselves in lobbies with enemies that are impossible to kill or can see through walls.
Now, it appears that the fight against hackers in Warzone is about to get even tougher, as cheats have evolved to be able to easily get around RICOCHET.
CoD content creator ‘Zachdubs’ shared a post on X (formerly Twitter) claiming that “Warzone cheats have gotten so advanced they’re now able to turn off automatically in-game when being “investigated” by Ricochet.”
He accompanied this with a video of what appeared to be a Discord chat full of players using cheats, where they were discussing the number of “screenshots cleared” by their software.
