Call of Duty is cracking down on players for using unlock tools in Warzone and Black Ops 6

After a recent update to the Ricochet anti-cheat system, any player who uses a camo unlock tool in Warzone and Black Ops 6, will receive temporary bans in the games. According to the developers, using such exploits or tools goes against the Security and Enforcement Policy. Hence equipping camos that aren't available in the games legitimately will get them into trouble.

Call of Duty has also warned players against suspicious websites that offer in-game items such as COD Points, add-ons, and more. Furthermore, they have alerted users that if they buy services that offer account leveling and artificial game progression, they too might receive a ban as it goes directly against their Terms of Use.
