NitroLukeDX Caught in the Crossfire: Ricochet’s Latest Anti-Cheat Update Strikes Again.
Warzone popular battle royale game has been plagued by cheaters and hackers for some time now.Recent updates to the game’s anti-cheat system, Ricochet, have promised to bring more protection and new mitigation techniques to combat cheating. Despite these efforts, streamer NitroLukeDX claims to have been caught by Ricochet’s anti-cheat, although he insists it was just a glitch. Let’s examine the situation more closely and what it entails for Warzone players.
Warzone has had a long-standing issue with cheaters and hackers ruining the gaming experience for legitimate players. After the Season 2 update, players reported a massive outbreak of cheating, which prompted the developers to take action and improve the game’s anti-cheat system, Ricochet.
Ricochet has been continuously updated to better detect and prevent cheating in Warzone. The April 4 update introduced various mitigation techniques, including ‘cloaking’ – a feature that hides players from suspected cheaters by making them invisible. Additionally, the update brought an in-game reporting system for cheating or offensive actions, and improved detection of users using controllers with Cronus devices attached, which have been known to enable cheating.
During a recent livestream, popular Warzone streamer NitroLukeDX claimed to have been caught by Ricochet’s anti-cheat system. He complained of players disappearing mid-gunfight, but attributed it to a glitch rather than being caught cheating. NitroLukeDX attempted to explain to his viewers that it was a texture bug that made players disappear when shot. However, he used colorful language to express his frustration, stating, “A glitch where you shoot bullets and the person disappears because of texture, shaders, or whatever. Bullsh*t mate.”
NitroLukeDX insisted that he was not cheating and that the anti-cheat system had wrongly detected him due to a glitch. He claimed that the disappearance of players during gunfights was a result of a texture bug or shader issue, and not a sign of cheating. However, some viewers were skeptical of his explanation, as Ricochet’s anti-cheat system is designed to be sophisticated and accurate in detecting cheating.
