Fighting cheaters, mainly for PC, sucks the fun out of gaming. At least most of the time, as Activision Blizzard has now confirmed they have added a pretty cool feature to Call of Duty: Warzone, which makes cheaters bullets worthless, they just bounce off you:
"When the server detects a cheater is tampering with the game in real-time, it disables the cheater's ability to inflict critical damage on other players. This mitigation leaves the cheater vulnerable to real players and allows #TeamRICOCHET to collect information about a cheater's system. We track these encounters to ensure there is no possibility for the game to apply a Damage Shield randomly or by accident, no matter the skill level. To be clear, we will never interfere in gunfights between law-abiding community members. Damage Shield is now out of testing and deployed across the globe."
Activision Blizzard has stepped up their anti-cheating measurements for PC recently with something they call Ricochet Anti-Cheat, which they claim has led to a "significant drop of in-game cheat reporting". They will also enforce harsher bans and simply don't do it on a game by game basis anymore, but rather remove them from all past, present and future Call of Duty titles:
"Going forward, extreme, or repeated violations of the security policy - such as in-game cheating - may result in a permanent suspension of all accounts. Additionally, any attempt to hide, disguise, or obfuscate your identity or the identity of your hardware devices may also result in a permanent suspension."
If you want to see the bouncing bullets in action, here's a video demonstrating how this works as a cheater gets smoked.
