Measures against cheaters in the ranked game Warzone 2

While MW2 ranked play received generally positive reviews, it was not without its hiccups. In particular, cheaters have flooded the competitive mode, especially in the top skill divisions.

Both Warzone 2 ranked play and Modern Warfare 2 ranked play use the RICOCHET anti-cheat to detect and stop cheaters. However, the fight between RICOCHET and cheaters never stops as new software is constantly being tested.

Fortunately, the developers of Warzone 2 have introduced a strict minimum level limit for ranked play in order to combat cheaters.

You must be at least level 45 to access Warzone 2 ranked play   . The idea behind this strict level requirement is to give RICOCHET time to identify and block any potential scammers.

When it comes to Warzone 2, scammers often use new accounts. As ModernWarzone notes, “it takes about 20 hours to get a new account from level 1 to 45.”

Let’s hope the level 45 cap gives RICOCHET enough time to root out any cheaters within the first 20 hours of playing Warzone 2.

It remains to be seen if this strategy will effectively limit the number of cheaters in Warzone 2 ranked play, with players noting that it could lead to cheaters buying outdated accounts.

However, the forced method makes it clear that the developers hope to maintain competitive fairness in Warzone 2’s ranked play.
