Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Ranked Play Is Already Plagued by Cheaters

As a dedicated fan who has been following Call of Duty since its early days, I can’t help but feel a sense of deja vu as I witness the rise of cheaters in Black Ops 6’s Ranked Play mode. It seems like we’ve been down this road before, with every new live-service FPS competitive mode facing the same issue.


The eagerly awaited feature, Ranked Play, has made its debut in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. Yet, with its launch, it’s encountering a recurring challenge that often plagues many live multiplayer first-person shooter competitive modes – the presence of cheaters.

The problem has quickly garnered widespread attention, with reports surfacing across platforms like Reddit, X, and popular streamer chatrooms. Let’s explore the details and take a closer look at the current state of cheating in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Ranked Play.

As Expected, BO6 Ranked Play Is Being Plagued With Cheaters

As an avid fan, I’m thrilled about the arrival of Ranked Play in Black Ops 6! To jump into the fray, players need to rack up 50 multiplayer wins first. This mode is all about fun and fierce competition, where we fight for dominance. Unfortunately, since its launch, it seems like cheaters have been causing havoc. Clips demonstrating this madness have popped up everywhere, from X and Reddit, reflecting the mounting aggravation within our gaming community.

The problem is worsened because Ranked Play offers a limited gaming environment with stricter map and game mode rotations, as well as superior incentives compared to normal, unranked multiplayer playlists. Not only do cheaters make the mode harder to enjoy, but they also diminish the pride associated with earning those valuable rewards, particularly for players who achieve impressive kills.

Fans have spoken out strongly against the game, posting their displeasure on social media. Even Chris ‘Parasite’ Duarte, one of the first world champions in Call of Duty, tweeted his concern: “Cheaters, cheaters, cheaters everywhere! Where is the anti-cheat system, @Treyarch?

Many other gamers share the same feelings, as one individual put it, “The new Ranked mode for BO6 launched today and cheaters are already sporting the top-ranked skin,” while another expressed, “In my first ranked game, a 4-person team of cheaters… It’s just unfair.

The anti-cheat system, Ricochet by Activision, seems insufficient in halting cheaters who are exploiting aimbots and spoiling the game for all players. Although this isn’t shocking news to many, gamers remain optimistic that Activision, Treyarch, and Raven Software will tackle this problem promptly. Many are excited to explore Ranked Play, but only if it means fair competition, not battling hordes of cheaters guaranteeing swift kills.
