The upcoming launch of Verdansk on April 3, 2025, represents a pivotal moment for Activision as the company strives to ensure a fair gaming environment amid ongoing cheating concerns.

Cheating has been a significant issue in Call of Duty's online modes, particularly since the release of Call of Duty Black Ops 6, prompting Activision's Team Ricochet to take action.

Despite complaints from players and content creators regarding rampant cheating, Team Ricochet has denied claims of a compromised anti-cheat system while actively addressing confirmed cases.

There are rumors circulating that Activision may consider shutting down Call of Duty Warzone if the performance of Verdansk does not meet expectations, highlighting the high stakes surrounding this update.

In a recent warning, Team Ricochet emphasized that using unauthorized methods to unlock or equip weapon camos will result in account enforcement actions, including temporary bans.

Players are strongly advised to avoid suspicious websites and offers for in-game items, as these can compromise their accounts and expose personal information.

Just days before the launch of Verdansk, Team Ricochet has issued a clear warning to Call of Duty players against using cheats and exploits.
