Hackers and cheaters have always been a problem in Call of Duty: Warzone. Fortunately, the battle royale shooter comes with a powerful anti-cheat system that’s helped cut down on cheating in the game. Over the past few months, the system has been tweaked, adjusted, and improved with new measures that’s designed to not only punish cheaters but also annoy them to some degree, including hiding enemies from them and removing all weapon damage.

The latest update to Richochet, aptly-called Disarm, adds a new measure that removes all of a cheater’s weapons in the middle of the match. This not only exposes them for the frauds that they are but also leaves them with no way of defending themselves against other players.

“Like the name implies, when cheaters are detected, Disarm simply takes their weapons away from them (including their fists),” said Activision. “We don’t expect many clips of this to find their way online, but we have seen it in action and the reactions from cheaters are always priceless.”

“We have other mitigations that we’ll likely spill the beans on in the future,” the publisher added. “Beyond the mission to combat unfair play, we have a second somewhat secret mission to annoy as many cheaters as we can.”
