Activision posts video showing Call of Duty cheat seller getting served at his home

Activision has released a video showcasing a cease-and-desist letter being served to notorious call cheat seller Elocarry at his residence in Ohio. The short clip, shared on the official Call of Duty social media, depicts a representative from the company arriving at the address with legal paperwork. Elocarry seems to accept the news, though he may become agitated when speaking with Activision's attorneys.

The seller's website advertises cheats for various games, including Rust, ARC Raiders, Marvel Rivals, and Apex Legends, with some products allegedly safe from the Ricochet anti-cheat system. Elocarry once sold a cheat pack for Black Ops 7 and Warzone, priced up to $108 with a three-month subscription. Activision announced a temporary halt in Call of Duty product sales and availability while internally reviewing the situation.

The company has taken action against over 375 cheat resellers, issuing more than 80 cease-and-desist demands and shutting down 30 vendors. Activision is prepared to pursue legal action against cheat developers and sellers. This is not the first time Activision has dealt with Call of Duty cheaters; in 2020, the company forced CxCheats to cease cheat development and sales.

In 2021, over 60,000 Warzone accounts were banned, totaling more than 300,000 permanent bans. Activision introduced the Ricochet anti-cheat system, which employs unconventional punishments such as making legitimate players invisible to cheaters, removing cheaters' weapons, and using fake player clones. In 2024, a California judge awarded Activision $14.5 million in damages and nearly $293,000 in attorney fees to EngineOwning, which sold Call of Duty cheats.
