In the previous couple of days, cheaters in Name of Responsibility: Vanguard might have seen their video games have been curiously empty—no less than, till a silent, invisible bullet pierces their cranium.
That is because of a brand new approach known as Cloaking, a function not too long ago added to Vanguard’s Ricochet anti-cheat system. Whereas it has been energetic for a while, Staff Ricochet highlighted the function in a current blog post (thanks, GameDeveloper) outlining a few of Ricochet’s newest mitigation options.
Here is the way it works: if Ricochet detects a cheater, that participant might discover themselves unable to see or hear different gamers or weapon hearth. Authentic gamers, nonetheless, can nonetheless see the now-helpless cheater, and dole out punishment accordingly—with the developer joking you may possible determine cheaters by on the lookout for the gamers “spinning in circles hollering, ‘Who’s taking pictures me?!'”
Cloaking exists alongside present mitigation strategies like Harm Defend, which removes a cheater’s capacity to inflict important hits, to place off cheaters by making their expertise as depressing as potential. It joins an announcement that Richochet is now globally obtainable for Vanguard, and whereas there will be a short interval to let the updates settle, Staff Ricochet finally hopes to convey Vanguard’s mitigation strategies over to Warzone for full safety parity.
