The kernel-level driver will enter Warzone first, then Vanguard.

It should be noted that Ricochet anti-cheating will only be implemented on PC, but due to cross-platform games, console players will also get some benefits. The blog post has repeatedly emphasized that the system can only run when the game is running. This is a recognition of the increasingly prominent privacy issues among Internet users, especially game users.
