Banned From Black Ops 4 After Downing a Teammate

All infractions undergo a thorough review process by the security team before enforcement. The account holder is responsible for any infraction on the account. We apply penalties no matter who was playing at the time.

Active enforcements are tied to Activision accounts and are implemented across all devices linked to the account.

Cheating/Modding/Hacking will not be tolerated. If you receive a ban, it is for unauthorized manipulation of game data. Don't fall for unscrupulous services offering cheats or modifications; these are fraudulent.

Avoid tutorials and services that offer ways to modify your camo. Anything that suggests altering the memory on your console or PC in order to acquire new gear, items, or loadouts beyond what is offered in the game is a hack and is considered cheating. We will enforce accordingly, which may result in being banned.
