RICOCHET tightens Warzone in Season 01: TPM 2.0 and stronger anti-boost

Table of Content

Season 01 is live, bringing the latest RICOCHET anti-cheat updates across Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 and Call of Duty: Warzone. The update focuses on cleaner, fairer matches through stricter PC security and faster detections. The headline change: TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot are now mandatory for Warzone on PC, matching the Black Ops 7 launch requirements. An additional tool – the Secure Attestation Wizard – is planned later in the season to help players verify their configurations. The stated aim is simple: quicker detections on a more secure foundation.

TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot now required for Warzone

Warzone now enforces TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot to close a major entry point for cheats by ensuring PCs start in a trusted state. These were already in place for Black Ops 7 at launch and are now extended to Warzone. RICOCHET also uses remote attestation to verify security settings via trusted external servers, making it significantly harder to spoof system info.

Later in Season 01, Activision will release the Secure Attestation Wizard, a utility designed to quickly confirm whether a PC meets the anti-cheat security requirements and to guide users if adjustments are needed.

Security requirements at a glance

The table below summarises the core security features introduced or reaffirmed with Season 01 and how they contribute to match integrity.

Upgraded detections against boosting

Boosting – including paid services and botting that artificially level accounts – has become a growing vector after unlock-all exploits were shut down. In response, Season 01 deploys stronger behavioral detections targeting both the boosted accounts and the accounts powering these services. The goal is to disrupt the entire ecosystem around artificial progression so that earned progression retains its value.

Pressure on cheat vendors and reseller networks

Beyond in-game enforcement, Team RICOCHET reports sustained action against cheat distribution:

• Over 50 cheat providers shut down, including major vendors and nearly 40 reseller groups, over the last year.
• Nearly 300 reseller operations disrupted through ban waves and legal action.

These measures remove distribution channels and are being applied across Black Ops 7 and Warzone, aiming to raise the industry baseline for anti-cheat protections.

Key notes for players

• Warzone on PC now requires TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot.
• Secure Attestation Wizard is coming later in Season 01 for quick configuration checks.
• Boosting detections have been strengthened, targeting both service providers and boosted accounts.
• Ongoing enforcement has shut down over 50 providers and disrupted nearly 300 reseller operations in the past year.

Bottom line for your next match

Expect tighter PC security requirements and more consistent enforcement against boosting and cheat distribution in Warzone’s Season 01. If you play on PC, ensure TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot are enabled to avoid interruptions. The payoff is clear – cleaner lobbies and fairer progression as the season unfolds.
