Call of Duty Warzone's new anti-cheat system will break into gamers' PCs

Earlier this year, Activision revealed a new anti-cheat system for Call of Duty: Warzone that works through a separate Kernel Level Driver app and is slated to launch later this week.

The new system was developed by Activision's Team Ricochet, as it relies on working through a separate kernel that is implanted in the player's computers to monitor any cheating that he may perform.

The new program will initially be implanted in the Call of Duty Warzone game, to be launched later in the game Vanguard. Of course, this system will be exclusive to use only on the PC version of these games and will not be available in the versions for home platforms.

According to what we learned through the question and answer FAQ section on the official Activision website, the new cheat tools that many players use on PC devices do not interfere with game files at all. Instead, the application is a separate program installed on the same device that works independently to fool standard fraud detection.

This prompted the developer to adopt this new system, which allows him to enter the user’s computer, search between applications, and monitor whether there are cheating applications installed on the device or not.

This system also, according to what we learned through the same source, will only work when Call of Duty Warzone is running in the background and during gameplay, while it will be turned off as soon as the user exits the game.

The user will also receive a message when launching the game to allow the application to work, bearing in mind that the game will not work if the anti-cheat application is not given approval to work.

The anti-cheat program will roll out this week to players in the Asia-Pacific region ahead of the game's worldwide expansion, but will not be available on the home console versions of the game.
