10 Most Creative Traps For Video Game Cheaters

Another one of Ricochet's traps for online cheaters can be found inside Call of Duty: Warzone. The difference between this anti-cheat method and the cloaking system in Modern Warfare II is that it immediately nips the cheaters' activity on the game's servers in the bud.

And it does so pretty brutally, too.

Each of Warzone's matches starts with a parachute drop during which the player has to choose where they want to land. Activision's anti-cheat strategy, called Splat, uses this mechanic to punish cheaters right off the bat.

When the game discovers the cheater is hacking, the Splat system will choose to randomly cut their parachute mid-drop, instantly sending them straight to their death.

The mechanic is random, so you might think it's pretty ineffective, but this is actually half of the fun.

You see, if a cheater survives the fall, or their nefarious activity is discovered after they land, Splat will also increase their character's velocity, causing each subsequent jump or even the slightest move to become a deadly leap into a stratosphere, with a cut parachute, of course.

The punishment is honestly hilarious and quite a spectacle for anyone lucky to witness it in-game.
