Black Ops 6 Cheating Bans

Black Ops 6 Cheating Bans

As a seasoned Call of Duty player with over a decade under my belt, I must say that the current state of affairs in Black Ops 6 Season 1 is nothing short of disappointing. The game’s multiplayer side, which has always been the heart and soul of the series for many of us, is currently battling an endemic cheating problem.


In just a short while since its release, Season 1 of “Call of Duty: Black Ops 6” has been brimming with excitement. The focus this time around is on the highest ranks in the leaderboard.

The most recent game from Treyarch is a fantastic addition to the series that fans have cherished for years, and they’ve developed a strong sense of ownership and care towards it.

Although the campaign has secured a place in the Call of Duty Hall of Fame, unfortunately, the multiplayer aspect is grappling with persistent cheating issues.

Yesterday, the RICOCHET anti-cheat system disclosed that they’re utilizing artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance the swiftness of detection and have started issuing bans on an hourly basis for individuals found to be cheating.

19,000 individuals have been barred from the company’s leaderboards since their introduction, yet one player, specifically Hanser, caught our attention.

Profiling A Suspect

Hanser, the user, was leading the scoreboards in Black Ops 6 Season 1, but the competitive Call of Duty community recognized his name even prior to the game’s release.

Hanser appeared exceptional with what seemed like a full set of abilities suitable for participating in high-level Call of Duty tournaments. However, he chose to remain in normal ranked matches instead.

Based on information from Spanish streamer Taison TV, who manages an “anti-cheat hotline” across his social media platforms, it appears that Hanser has allegedly been flagged to Activision for potentially suspicious behavior over a period of at least six months.

As a gamer myself, I’ve got some inside scoop. Somebody, let’s call him ‘Taison’, alleges that the top-ranked player we all know has been sneakily and openly using Direct Memory Access (DMA) hacks, what gamers often refer to as ‘rage hacking’.

Even though it’s tricky to identify instances of DMA fraud due to its subtle nature, rage hacking can be easily noticed if there’s video evidence available for imposing a hand-administered punishment on the responsible player.

Many contemporary anti-cheat mechanisms include automated systems designed to identify instances where a player performs actions that seem implausible without some additional aid.

While the recent ban wave for Call of Duty is seen as a positive step, there’s still uncertainty among many players if it will significantly improve the ongoing issue with cheating in the long run.

Given the Hanser case, where it required six months of manual report reviews in addition to automated detections before a cheater who reached the top of the leaderboard was banned, one might question whether players can rely on Activision and its anti-cheating measures to maintain fairness within the game.
