Activision has released footage of one of its legal representatives confronting a seller of Call of Duty cheats at their home and serving them with a cease-and-desist order. The minute-long video, posted on the official Call of Duty account, documents the encounter that took place in Ohio.
The representative is shown arriving at a property and handing legal documents to an individual whose face is obscured. The paperwork officially serves as a cease-and-desist notice to the seller, identified as Elocarry.
Elocarry was reportedly selling cheat software for titles including Call of Duty, Rust, and Apex Legends. Prior to Activision's visit, the seller was offering a package for Black Ops 7 and Warzone, advertised as undetectable by the RICOCHET Anti-Cheat system, with subscriptions priced up to £79.99.
Following the delivery of the legal notice, a screenshot from Elocarry's Discord server was shared, indicating that sales of Call of Duty products had been halted temporarily for internal review, though other offerings remained available. This action is part of a broader initiative by Activision against cheat providers.
The company stated that this direct confrontation in Ohio is a single instance within a larger campaign. Activision has issued over 80 cease-and-desist demands, targeted more than 375 reseller operations, and successfully shut down over 30 vendors entirely. The publisher issued a stern warning, stating, "build cheats, sell cheats, we will find you," implying further legal action against non-compliant parties.
In related news, Activision also highlighted improvements to the RICOCHET Anti-Cheat system heading into the Modern Warfare 4 beta. The company reported reduced infection rates, more robust hardware bans, and quicker response times during the recent closed beta. Modern Warfare 4 is scheduled to launch on October 23rd for PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch 2. The full game will feature 12 6v6 multiplayer maps, a significant increase from the four available in the beta.
