Call of Duty players will now be able to spot hackers more easily in Black Ops 6 thanks to a new change ahead of Season 3.

Over the years, Call of Duty has always been susceptible to cheaters. Everyone remembers getting their first invite to an increased speed lobby or being offered the chance to go up to tenth prestige.

However, things have gotten worse more recently. The first influx of hackers came during the original days of Warzone, with god mode, wall hacks, aim bots, and everything else you can think of being used.

The COD devs have clamped down on things. Their RICOCHET anti-cheat system has helped, including updates that have seen cheaters unable to register hits on other players and cosigning them to shadowbans. There are more to come too.

Unlock hackers will now have skins removed mid-game

Now, before the start of Black Ops 6 Season 3, a new change has been made to further embarrass cheaters – and it’ll help you spot one in your lobby.

The new change revolves around those cheaters who use unlock tools to get skins for their weapons and operators. Instead of a low level being able to run around with Dark Matter guns, the game will now revert them in real-time, should they be detected as a cheater.

This means that, if you’re killed by someone who you suspect to be a cheater, you may be able to spot the weapon skin changing during the kill cam. If not, you might spot it during a game.

Some players have questioned why the detection doesn’t ban the players there and then, and that is a good question.

“If they had any banter whatsoever they’d apply some awful camo instead of just removing it,” one player suggested.

Others aren’t too sold on it. “Unlock tools aren’t the issue lmao. they’re losers but not the issue. But that’s cool ig,” another said. “Might be thousands of cheaters running rampant but at least now i can’t use my pack-a-punch camo,” another quipped.
