During the closed beta for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, RICOCHET Anti-Cheat expanded its crackdown beyond in-match detection—targeting cheat developers and the companies that sell them. Activision shared footage of a real-world operation in Ohio aimed at a cheating provider named Elocarry.

RICOCHET targets sellers, not just cheaters

RICOCHET emphasized that its work does not stop when a match ends. The anti-cheat team also goes after the people and businesses behind cheat distribution, with the goal of disrupting the wider “ecosystem” that supports cheating.

  • Operations took place during the closed beta over the previous weekend.
  • RICOCHET stated it has been targeting cheat makers as well as those who develop and sell cheats.
  • Reported results include disruption of more than 375 cheat-reseller operations.
  • The team says it has issued more than 80 cease-and-desist demands.
  • RICOCHET also claims it has shut down more than 30 vendors.

Ohio operation focuses on Elocarry

The newly released video centers on Elocarry. According to RICOCHET’s messaging, the team traveled to Ohio to take down the cheat provider, demonstrating that the anti-cheat response includes actions outside the game itself.

  • The operation was carried out in Ohio.
  • The footage highlights the Elocarry takedown.
  • Activision’s posting reinforces that the fight against cheating is not confined to gameplay detection.

More actions planned, including legal steps

Alongside the Ohio takedown, RICOCHET said additional measures are forthcoming. If needed, the team indicated it would pursue litigation against cheat developers and sellers—aiming to disrupt not only the end users, but also the organizations profiting from cheating.

  • Further steps are planned after the Ohio operation.
  • RICOCHET says it is prepared to pursue litigation when necessary.
  • The stated objective is to interfere with the broader cheating marketplace, not just in-game incidents.

Timeline note

  • Activision shared the update on August 28, 2026, referencing the closed beta operation from the previous weekend.
