"Call of Duty's New Anti-Cheat Tech Shuts Down Aim Assist for Mouse and Keyboard Players"

Activision's anti-cheat tech, Ricochet, will now close the Call of Duty game app on PC if it detects a mouse and keyboard player activating aim assist, targeting unauthorized third-party hardware and software. Aim assist is designed for console players and not meant for mouse and keyboard users, who have been using tools like XIM and Cronus Zen to benefit from it. The warning comes ahead of the Season 1 Reloaded update for Warzone and Modern Warfare 3.
