Things are about to change around here. We're under new management, and we're revamping our systems to make ACPD a more reliable place to report cheaters, win traders, boosters and hitchhikers. We understand it can feel like nobody is listening and getting your reports to real people should be easy. We're going to make reporting easier and improve how we handle reports on our side. There's work to do but we're committed to getting this right.

This you? matchID: tracker.gg/valorant/match/c7… Detected over 10 days ago. Just like HPTT, Heino 1, and Heino 2 before it. When is the future getting here exactly?

GOING AFTER DMA CHEATS Ahead of DMZ Early Access earlier this week, we launched new RICOCHET Anti-Cheat detections targeting DMA cheats. DMA, or Direct Memory Access, cheats use external hardware to access game information cheaters should never have, including information about opponents and their in-game locations. By operating outside the PC running Call of Duty, DMA cheats are designed to evade traditional software-based protections.

I couldn't find his ticket, but this is pretty unlikely. Our hw bans only last 4 months maximum, they're game-specific, and support tells you the time remaining on the ban when you write in. We also don't add "everything else" onto the denylist when we match one component.

PSA: Boosting, smurfing, hitchhiking… it’s all cheating. Vanguard’s boosting detection expanded from @LeagueOfLegends to @VALORANT earlier this summer and bans have been rolling out ever since. 296,416 rent-a-rank customers served and counting.

RICOCHET Anti-Cheat doesn't end when your match does. Cheat makers operate around the world. So do we. We’re taking the fight directly to cheat sellers. Last weekend during the Closed Beta, we went to Ohio to takedown Elocarry. That’s not an isolated case...

Bro completely crashed out and started doxxing and clearing the discord chat because their customers were complaining too much 😭

scene: your vanguard "emu" turned out to be a honeypot, so you take some time to work on yourself lol

Man yall rank manipulators are so cooked you dont even understand 😭 The anti cheat team has been working hard on this in collaboration with the Valorant team to deliver this, it is time to let loose I been preparing for this for a while and building a lot of the tools behind the scenes

I'll investigate some of these leads, but Caspere is a known booster who has already been banned several times in the past. Supposedly he's reformed and just provides intel on the opposition only to benefit himself, or actually helps it's a 50/50 but he knows that I always ban him if he does go rogue Just like all reports we receive, we don't know the intent, but if we see wrongdoing we will ban them. We usually get our best reports from boosters and cheaters rather than the casual ladder players

Going through your reports, and almost all of the accused are not cheating. The one player that was is already banned. Can you help me understand what you're seeing? There is some stream sniping, but that takes longer to prove (behavioral). I'll take any RiotIDs.

Ever wondered what goes on behind anti-cheat systems and see if you can beat them? Or maybe for the more experienced, what new experimental tech we've been developing? And see if you can beat it and survive our detections! Now's your chance 😁

Short 30 page thesis on Vanguard's new on-demand mode, including details on what cheaters have been up to, what we're cooking next, and what vegetables keep me regular. riotgames.com/en/news/vangua…

Starting later today, Vanguard will be able to run in on-demand mode for players on Windows 11. You just need to enable some optional security features for your motherboard, and your taskbar can have 256 of its pixels back. Take it away, @deteccphilippe.
