Ricochet is Activision's kernel-level anti-cheat for Warzone and BO7. It runs a kernel driver that monitors memory access, detects wallhack-style memory reads, and can even modify player hitboxes to trap cheaters. But it can't detect screen capture.
Ricochet's Limitations
Ricochet is designed to catch tools that read game memory — finding player coordinates, health values, and rendering data. External pixel-based tools don't read any game data. They just look at what's on screen, the same way you do with your eyes.
Warzone Best Practices
- Use AI detection with a Warzone-specific YOLO model
- Keep smoothing moderate to avoid killcam suspicion
- Sound Radar provides awareness without the risk of visual ESP
- Hardware mouse (Pico W) adds an extra safety layer
