    Activision Quietly Patches a Reverse Boosting Exploit in Black Ops 6

    Activision has quietly patched a reverse boosting exploit in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 to stop people from getting easier lobbies.

    The exploit, which is nicknamed “2 boxing” within the community, involved players having two different accounts: their main account and an account with terrible stats. From here, the player could join a session of the account with terrible stats to get themselves into lower-skilled lobbies.

    It’s an exploit that Call of Duty players have used for years and is one of the main ways that YouTubers and live streamers can achieve high-kill, low-death gameplay without the use of a VPN.

    In the recent patch, players can no longer join another player’s session if it’s in the pre-game lobby or a match, effectively meaning that the exploit is no longer doable.

    Interestingly, Activision decided not to announce the exploit patch in its recent patch notes. In contrast, it previously mentioned clamping down on VPN users and AFK (away from keyboard) players.

    Although not official information, as someone who has used this exploit in the past, I can say that it was extremely prevalent within Black Ops 6. In fact, I’d even argue that it was completely destroying how SBMM should work, as in every lobby, there would be 7-8 poorly skilled players and 4-5 (using the exploit) good players. So, it isn’t surprising that Activision decided to clamp down on it.

    In other news, Epic Games has taken a different approach to the SBMM problem, by adding up to 90% of bots to its matches for low-skilled players.

    What do you think of Activision stopping the reverse boosting exploit in Black Ops 6? Let us know how it’s going on the GPlayr forum.
