Daily Detection Improvements
The RICOCHET Anti-Cheat system didn’t just maintain performance—it improved daily throughout the beta period. As #TeamRICOCHET analyzed player behavior patterns, cheat detections became faster and matches cleaner with each passing day.
This adaptive approach meant early beta participants who encountered cheaters saw progressively fewer bad actors as the test period continued. By the final days, the 99% cheater-free rate demonstrated RICOCHET’s ability to learn and respond in real-time.

Three-Match Detection Standard
The median three-match detection time represents a crucial metric. Cheaters who slipped through initial screening were identified and removed before significantly impacting the community experience. This rapid response prevents the prolonged frustration that plagued earlier Call of Duty titles.
For legitimate players, this means encountering a cheater becomes an anomaly rather than an expected occurrence—fundamentally changing the competitive integrity of multiplayer matches.
What This Means for Launch
#TeamRICOCHET’s beta performance sets high expectations for Black Ops 7’s November 14 launch. The team emphasized their commitment to “always adapting, working to stay ahead and keep your matches fair.”
The system’s continuous improvement model suggests launch-day anti-cheat will be even stronger than beta results, as additional data and detection patterns are integrated before the full release.

Franchise-Best Anti-Cheat
Previous Call of Duty betas struggled with cheater prevalence, often seeing significant portions of matches compromised. Black Ops 7’s 99% clean match rate represents a quantum leap in maintaining competitive integrity during testing phases.
This achievement positions Black Ops 7 as potentially the most fair-play-focused title in franchise history, addressing long-standing community concerns about cheating in competitive multiplayer.
