Automatic kicks that will always go into the goal are also included in these cheat packs.

Why might EA succeed where others have failed?

Activision also introduced RICOCHET last year - the anti-cheat software in Call of Duty, which also works at the kernel level of the computer.

Although the software did not completely solve the phenomenon, it definitely reduced their presence in the servers.

The company continues to update the software constantly, but it is a game of "cat and mouse" and the cheaters always find a new way to bypass the software.

Another prominent example of similar anti-cheat programming at the kernel level is the game Valorant, by Riot Games.

Even there you can find the presence of cheaters in the game, but this is the immortal curse of the PC players, because it is an open operating system that can be modified much more easily.
