Call of Duty's Ricochet Anti-Cheat Gets Major Update: TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot Required

Activision is stepping up its fight against cheaters in Call of Duty with major updates to its Ricochet anti-cheat system. Season 5 of Black Ops Cold War and Warzone will introduce mandatory TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot for PC players to create a more secure gaming environment. While not enforced in Season 5, these features will be required for Call of Duty: Black Ops 7. Activision also announced legal action against 22 cheat makers and strengthened account security measures, including bans for boosting and teaming. Season 5 also includes a new battle pass, maps, and weapons.
