Call of Duty: Black Ops 7’s Early Access Beta Already Infiltrated by Cheaters
The Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 early access has been around for less than 24 hours, and players are already running into cheaters. Clips of wallhackers, aimbotters and more have been appearing online, showing just how rampant it is.
An X post by a newly created Twitter account gave players a first-person view of the cheat in action. It shows the player running around, snapping quickly from player to player, which isn’t something that a normal human should be able to do.
Activision announced on Sept. 29, 2025, that Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 has an updated Ricochet Anti-Cheat, which will require players to have TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot enabled to be able to play the game. This is very similar to what Battlefield 6 is doing with its anti-cheat.
However, it seems that this early access does not have the updates that were mentioned in the blog post, seeing that cheaters have already infiltrated the game, being able to circumvent the anti-cheat system with such ease.
Regarding the cheater that went viral, Call of Duty developers confirmed that the player was already banned. However, when players inquired whether it was due to the anti-cheat or because the clip had gone viral, the developers did not respond.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is scheduled to release on November 14, 2025. The game will be available on PlayStation 4 & 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PC.
