How Does It Work?



Disrupting SBMM (Skill-Based Matchmaking):
The service works by altering your matchmaking region using DNS. This disrupts the game's SBMM system, which typically places you in lobbies with players of similar skill. By changing your apparent location, the system struggles to find skill-matched opponents, increasing the likelihood of easier lobbies.

Enhanced Matchmaking Experience:
While it does not guarantee bot lobbies or entirely non-competitive matches, the altered region often results in less competitive lobbies due to the reduced player pool in that area or time zone. This can significantly improve your gaming experience by making matches more manageable.

No IP Change:
The service does not change your IP address. Instead, it relies on your whitelisted network to determine your region for matchmaking purposes. This ensures that only authorized users can benefit from the service.

Not 100% Guaranteed:
Matchmaking depends on various factors, including player activity and the time of day. While the service greatly improves your chances of easier lobbies, it does not guarantee 100% bot-like opponents in every match.

Secure and Fair Use:
The service locks to a specific network via whitelisting to prevent sharing or misuse. Once configured, it routes DNS requests for supported Call of Duty games through optimized servers to improve the matchmaking experience.
