Activision has posted footage of one of its legal representatives turning up at the Ohio home of a notorious Call of Duty cheat seller and handing over a cease-and-desist order.
The roughly one-minute clip went up on the official Call of Duty account on Friday, although the cease and desist was actually served on 22nd August, during last weekend's Modern Warfare 4 closed beta.
It shows a representative pulling up outside a house, meeting a man whose face is blurred throughout, and handing over paperwork.
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... pic.twitter.com/IP69qlGgDD
"I just got some paperwork for you," he said. "Attorneys for Activision and, uh, it's a cease-and-desist order for you."
He tells the man to contact the attorney's office listed on the documents and leaves. No shouting, no chase, no drama – just papers served on a doorstep.
The target was Elocarry, a seller whose cheats extended beyond Call of Duty to other multiplayer games including Rust and Apex Legends. Before the visit, Elocarry had reportedly been selling a Black Ops 7 and Warzone cheat pack, advertised as safe from RICOCHET detection, with three-month subscriptions priced up to £79.99.
In a follow-up post, Activision shared a screenshot from Elocarry's Discord confirming sales of Call of Duty products had been "temporarily paused" while a "matter" is reviewed internally, though the rest of the storefront was said to remain active.
