What It's like to be Shadow Banned in Black ops 6!

[@donttryloser376]

Been shadowbanned for a week, i stopped playing because aimbot 24/7 is not fun...

[@jzx.x1790]

Is it removed?

[@jzx.x1790]

@ChristophEike-l7f paid?

[@Gavin889]

@@donttryloser376 I feel the same way. I used the time being shadow banned to complete the campaign. I won’t be spending any more money on cod. I’m switching to battlefield, because activision relying on spam reports from other players is dogshit. I’m pretty sure I was spam reported for playing an above-average game where my kd was around a 3 (my total kd is 1.4).

[@Jamoinmoin12]

Where can i check?

[@TheTP219]

Drives me fucking nuts. This is the first game I've ever been shadowed on. I was shadowed on the 25th for a week. Started playing a couple days ago and I'm back in the shadow ban. Activision is fucking dog shit

Shadow ban loop

[@TheTP219]

@ yeah, I’m just going to move to console after my ban is up. I have a series x but I’d rather just play on PC

[@Zenbiroth]

@@TheTP219 Same man, I have been shadowbanned twice now, a day after launch, after it was lifted I started playing on PS5 without any problems got prestige 2 with a bunch of golden camos., I gave it a shot again on PC and within 1 game I was shadowbanned again.. now I gotta wait another week it seems but I'm for sure not touching CoD on PC anymore.

[@TheTP219]

@ I’m sorry bro that’s such a pain. Seems like the only way to play is with console.

[@notman2k7]

Im sure there is a trust score that each account has but I think people who abuse the feature should get penalised if it turns out there not also the reason why you see xbox is people can play on pc via xbox app

[@eon1166]

I felt like I was going crazy, first week I was getting around 50-80 kills a game and doing great. This week I’ve been in hellish matchmaking against max prestige’s and aimbotters… in every single match…

[@metagendev]

I'm on my first day of playing this game (Vault Edition too).. and on my 3rd game i noticed some really suspicious kills, I barely killed anyone in the game, I'm at level/rank 2 also. Somebody mentioned that we were in a shadowban lobby so I had to check my Activision account whether I'm banned, turns out Im on a limited matchmaking status..... on my 3rd game while completely being obliterated and barely making points. Activision is a PoS developer. I have never cheated nor had any issues with any other anti-cheats. Battle net refuses to refund as there are penalties in my COD account, which Activision falsely put on! Insane.

this is the second COD I get shadow banned on, I first got shadow banned in MWII and now in Bo6, it's annoying, I saw a dude spinning in the same spot and then shooting at everyone from the other side of the map

@ChristophEike-l7f How did u fix it?

[@dabouldev]

I just got shadow banned over the weekend… me and my duo!

[@MathieuGaming777]

Got shadow banned 3 days ago, I’ve had 5 lobbies back to back with spinning hackers and all my servers now have a latency of 100+

[@Gavin889]

Never been shadow banned before. Never cheated a day in my life. My kd is only about 1.4 I can honestly say I won’t be spending any more money on cod. I’m switching to battlefield from now on. I will not spend any more money on activision. The fact that a company like activision relies on community reports for cheaters is mind boggling. If I was cheating , my kd would be significantly higher. If you get spam reported, you’re in a shadow ban lobby for performing well in a match. This is the dumbest shit ever. Goodbye cod

[@Jamoinmoin12]

Same here brother i have the Same problem

[@Jdawg0529]

My only guess on why people are shadowbanned instead of full banned is so ricochet can properly monitor/record/study gameplay of the cheater before full-on banning them. Also FYI anyone abusing 2boxxing can get Shadowbanned, so if you ever joined on a level 1 account or on a friend who is much worse than you, there's a possibility you'll get shadowbanned.

[@Huncho623]

you don’t get shadow banned for 2boxing. you get shadowed because people report you bc they think you’re hacking. nothing to do with 2boxing

Interestingly I’ve NEVER heard of someone being shadowbanned on console. Trying to find a case of it, but I feel like there’s more to it than just spam reports.

[@basedanon420]

Console is immune to shadowbans via report spam

[@CAsnowman]

@ that doesn’t make sense to me that’s really weird if that’s the case. It makes me think it’s picking up something on the pc players even if it’s not outright cheats. Maybe a macro, or some type of program that’s not really affecting COD directly

[@Illusion_Dev]

[@basedanon420]

@@Illusion_Dev how? Ricochet is what shadowbans and since Ricochet doesn't run on Xbox it should be impossible for you to be shadowed via report spam

[@jobe9595]

​@basedanon420 pfffft thats false. Mw2 I was constantly shadow banned on xbox, especialy if i was at work split screening with my client using dragon breath rounds. People report spam you out of anger then the next 2 days it's wallhacks, aimbot and a little infinite slide to spice things up......the worst was dmz team wipe then getting the voice chat abuse warning when you don't even have a mic plugged in 😂 . Tbf I think at least half of the problems would be solved if it was console only forced crossplay and pc as optional. Like how apex did it

I have a few questions if you dont mind answering if you get the time, are you playing on a virtual machine, did you buy the game or did you get it through gamepass also if you didnt get it on gamepass did you have any other cod games on your blizzard/steam account? Also just buy a windows code man its like $10 ill donate you one cause im pretty sure that doesnt help your case when it comes to automated anticheat stuff.

[@MarvXO]

@@TinyChanges Lmao I am not on a virtual machine this is the first time I’ve been shadow banned in over 4 years same account since OG warzone me not having windows activated has nothing to do with being shadow banned I play other games like Valorant & Fortnite that have way better anti cheats and have never been banned for not having windows activated

[@lu34lyf]

@TinyChanges what is peoples need for actiavted windows seriously🤷🤦..... actiavted means jack, bar the ability to back up and on the fly updates automatically as they come out, i havent used actiavted windows in YEARS across many versions, Cumulative Updates install job done, screw giving Msoft any more money as it is as for me i got it threw xbox, via cdkeys, for hella cheaper, around 35 hours in KD of lie 0.8 no cheater, not activated windows, live windows envrio, and i dont use a VPN! games dont check for windows acti nor are they alowed to check for windows Acti due to emails and senstivei email assicaited with it, its a pure data breach, secondly non acti vs activated does not have any performance gains or disadvanatges!

The fact you don’t have an activated copy of your operating system makes me think your playing on a virtual machine which is what cheaters do. If you’re not cheating then you should probably activate it because it increases your trust score. Reports lower your trust score as well.
