Possible ballistic or idea?
Now one of the things I noticed as a ballistic is that I like the two tac upgrade. But hear me out on this. What if you just gave him two tacs and removed the upgrade with a separate one? Maybe even reduce the cooldown if he doesn’t get enough attention. But I’m always open to suggestions on how it works and doesn’t! So no worries on me wanting to judge!
The psychology behind hot dropping in ranked
Childish in short, let me elaborate... This happens mostly in plat, the cost for a plat game is 48, its a lot when you think about it, the reasoning most hot droppers have is that they are better than everyone, and also they think their team will be good enough to win a fight where multiple teams drop, good to great players that achieve diamond and above know this is not even close to be true, so they hot drop then immediately find out, then they get upset and blame the others on the team, they always want to be the exception to the rule, who else in human society thinks this way? Children and adolescents, nowadays we have adolescent adults running around masquerading as actual adults, so the behavior is exactly the same, they think they are special. I recommend veering off to another area when this happens, at least you can live long enough in a BATTLE ROYALE (Yes this is a BR not a deathmatch or a king of the hill, want kills? Go play that or even Arena) to recover the points and not have a negative when you die. So far I have done this every game I encounter hot drops and have managed to not lose RP, in some cases the players reflect and I am able to bring them back and we go to win or at least top 5 getting a positive RP. But I digress, in conclusion: Hot dropping is for childish brains that believe in Santa and that they are special, we all know whoever thinks like that fails at almost everything they do in life... 2 centsBallistics weapon are the best thing ever, just add a penalty to them.
Hemlock is great, ballistic weapon concept is the best. Just add a penalty to using these weapons. 1- If you use the current hemlock, you can only use the hemlock, single weapon lock. Keeping the weapon the same is great 2- Make a ballistic crate, 2 crates or 3 create per map, will always be on the map from zone one. 3- the weapon are great, the change the META, they bring change to the game and they are fun. Just at a penalty to them so the player needs to balance the decision to use them. The current hemlock can stay, just make the hemlock and single weapon lock. so you can only use the hemlock which is great.just died to 3 pack aimbotting in bots
One dudes name was literally Hackitshipit...they stayed on the corner of the map and just beamed across the entire match, we ran into them twice and of course they won at the end. 3 pack of them all cheating in bot royale! You guys have absolutely not fixed the cheating problem, it does jack when you catch someone and let them just go and create a new account in 2 minutes. Just looking up cheating on youtube and theres tons of accounts blatently cheating. You have SO much work to do on thisRanked is unplayable
The state of this game more specifically ranked is actually so trash, every other game it feels like I’m not getting a full squad or I’m dealing with smurfs. It’s so annoying and frustrating. I’m trying to play ranked and get killed by a level 40 wraith with a 20 bomb and 4k moving like she’s a masters in gold/plat lobbiesmy reactive skins i have does not work after a kill
my reactive skins does not work these are the ones( lightning bug for volt and the r99 mystic coil) the only ones i have. when i enter a match and killl someone with the skins it does not evolve i have tried restarting still does not work tried puting a new skin on and put the reactive back and still no evolving after i get a kill. but it only works in firing range no help! i tried to ask what was going on to streamers and they said that they dont have any problem and they dont know so i need help! tyRanked resets...
Don't help the competitiveness of the game if I only reset 2 tiers in plat, but masters/diamonds reset to plat 1-2. The first and last week's are unplayable and quick play is unwinnable with the non-existent mm. At least de-rank me down to silver to get the same feeling as they do stomping my ranked games.Please stop VPN use like Valorant does
Please do something about VPN abuse, I'm tired when cheaters from another area join my servers. The cheating situation in this game is insane. If you ban someone they just make a new account and join again. People hide behind so much to cheat, at least try to take ban tactics awayKilled a Pro → Instant Ban Next Game (HWID?)
I am a PC player from Taiwan. On March 11th, my account was suddenly banned while I was in a match. At the time, I believed it was a mistake and continued submitting appeals, hoping to receive a proper manual review. After that account was banned, I continued playing on my other personal accounts using the exact same setup and environment. I was able to climb from 16,000 KP to 28,000 KP without any issues, and none of those accounts were flagged or banned during that time. However, on March 24th, during a livestream, I eliminated a professional player from China, “Kongbai” from RT team. Immediately after that, my account was banned in the very next match. For transparency, here is the exact clip where I eliminated the professional player during my livestream: https://www.twitch.tv/yu851123/clip/SmellyPiercingSrirachaAsianGlow-tZBIa-w5slS8l39- This is the moment that was immediately followed by my account being banned in the next match. I have since confirmed that this player did report me through a channel that is not available to regular players. Because of this, I have strong reason to believe that this ban was not purely an automated system decision, but may have been influenced by a manual report. Additionally, after this incident, multiple accounts I used on the same device were also banned. This leads me to suspect that my system may have been hardware banned (possibly an HWID ban affecting my motherboard or system). I want to emphasize: I have over 10,000 hours of playtime in Apex Legends, and I have always played legitimately without using any cheats or exploits. All of my gameplay was streamed live, and I have full VOD recordings that clearly prove I was not using any cheats, hacks, or unfair tools. The only external program I have ever used is a simple crosshair overlay, which does not interact with the game or provide any unfair advantage. As for my setup, I strictly play on controller: G7 Pro 8K ZD Ultimate Legend I do NOT use XIM, adapters, scripts, or any kind of cheating device. I have already submitted nearly 10 appeals, and every single one was rejected with the same automated response. I have now reached the maximum number of appeals allowed and have no remaining way to request further review. I am fully willing to cooperate with any kind of manual investigation, including providing full gameplay recordings, input proof, or even hardware checks. I simply want the truth to be verified. At this point, I have no other option but to speak out through the community. If anyone from EA or the community has any advice, or knows of another way to escalate this issue, I would sincerely appreciate your help.Apex legends cross progression
So I spent a lot of money on my apex account on my ps5 and now I’m on pc I linked both of my account already and still haven’t gotten no message or anything it’s really frustrating because I’ve spent so much money so when I load in on pc I have nothing I’m back to level 1 can someone help me get my stuff on pcAccount banned for gameplay enhancements
Hello my account : Tsarbombax has been banned the 11th March 2026 for gameplay enhancement. At the beginning I was lost and thought that was because of the gamesir G7 pro controller because recently a lot of players using that controller got banned for no reason . Then I realized that day , a different IP address was on my account and also I found a lot of suspicious IP address on my account . I did multiples ban appeal to prove that I’m not lying but they are all getting declined. I really need help it’s been since season 0 I’m playing the game I bought the ultimate battle pass . I have over 1000 legendaries items on my account . I have 74.6k Kills . Multiples preds and I swear to god I never cheated. Also the hacker somehow got access to my account even with the ban on it . Please I’m so mad and sad because I was going to do the OPEN ALGS game I couldn’t and now I can’t even play comp . So please review my case properly. I play on Xbox (zTsay) and PlayStation (iTsay-) I need help asap . Case number : 240518076Please go further with your anticheat...
Its amazing that you're catching people, and I feel like my reports actually do something sometimes...but it doesn't help to ban a cheater when they can just go start a new account and play again within 15 minutes. I notice when I play that the cheating seems to come in waves, there will be a couple good weeks with only the odd cheater, then days like yesterday and today where there's even aimbotters in the bot royale lobbies, which is insane. Today I don't think I've played a match where there wasn't at least one blatant cheater, usually stock skin, low level, and a trolling name just beaming or insane esp. Please go further with your anticheat and try to make the bans more permanent, its getting crazy againKill and Damage blocking
I've played several hours tonight and got maybe 4 kills. I am shooting enemies and then they just stop taking any damage, impossible to down them, on one shot left i can keep hitting them with shots and nothing. Then my teammates end up knocking. It doesn't make any sense. Why are bullets just bouncing off my opponents when they're near death? Dealing zero damage, but very evidently hitting them? This is not going to encourage engagement or spending - i binned off Battlefront for the same reason.Rampart needs help
Rampart Needs a bit of help spent pretty much the entire last split playing rampart and I just wanted to give my thoughts on Rampart and hopefully get the attention from the dev team. Rampart isn’t weak shes just “fair”, in a game where other characters are not. so it leaves her in this weird place of not being terrible but also not really excelling if that makes sense. The other controller characters provide immediate value, can control fights without much set out or are more intuitive, but most importantly they force a reaction out the enemy. so in her class she doesn’t really have an area she shines in. **Main problems:** there is a million ways to deal with amped cover, it feels like shes still balanced around the state of the game 2-3yrs ago when there wasn’t many options. Her abilities are “manual” not passive so value isn’t guaranteed like the other controllers she doesn’t force or change the tempo of a fight she only amplifies a position. other controller legends can do and achieve similar results just easier and more consistent. she has many limitations the others don’t on top of not being as fluid. **The goal:** make her advantages more reliable and usable in fights, without completely reworking her. **My suggestions:** AMPED COVER 1. Up the health on deployment and how fast it actually sets up. not to the point where it’s impossible to kill her but just enough to were going to place a cover mid fight wont be as punishing. that allows for more options for the rampart player especially caught out. With all the movement in the game the speed of deployment has to match, it was alot of times where there enemy runs past the wall, we have a gunfight and the wall just now finishes building. So many times where I want to put the shield down but ill miss an opportunity if i do so, and for a character built on dishing out damage those extra seconds of downtime makes or breaks her. 2. Infinite ammo and reload spend should be base kit the game is just too fast for it not to be. amped speed was a great addition but again its not fluid its limited on when you can actually have access too it. other legends do not have this handicap, amped speed should be proximity based like reload speed and infinite ammo. The proximity range of these effects needs to be doubled. multiple reasons the proximity range needs to be increased main reason is standing directly behind the shield is not optimal most times and being that close just makes you a sitting duck most times. limited area of maneuvering for the effects or buffs and also everyone can just side step the shield and theres still no value. this limitation is like if caustic got slowed by his gas or wattson couldn’t touch her fence. Then unlike the other controllers its not passive so either you risk just getting fried instantly for slight benefits or the wall is just there for decoration. that is so frustrating so please double the range I should have the advantage anytime im next to my cover because right now its still pretty much even ground unless your incredibly intensional in your placement. Which again takes time it slows you down just to use your abilities. Amped speed, reload, and infinite ammo need to be cooked in and proximity based. Amped speed should increase strafe speed as well so she can actually fight around her shields base kit or in a perk. these changes already make her wall more fluid and intuitive to use with guaranteed value. 3. MAKE THE WALLS SLIGHTLY BENT AT A 45 DEGREE ANGLE. This change is small but makes to world of difference you have way more of a fighting chance behind the shield. you have more of an opportunity to actually punish and use the angles she’s created to take advantage of. it is so effective i trained myself to put walls angled but that takes time to do and will dramatically increase her strength without doing much. this one change is all want if the other things are out the way 😭. **PASSIVE: add reverse hipfire when shes using lmgs.** **Sheila is fine in its current state maybe a couple more rounds of ammo but thats it.** **PERKS:** Her blue perks should be removed because reload speed and infinite should just be base shield. and assault pack isn’t very useful regardless. NEW BLUE PERKS: 1. “momentum” adds more flexible movement to amped speed( so it doesn’t only work in a straight line and the timer is extended). 2.”hold up” Any enemy that touches the amped part of the shield will be stunned and will take 20 damage. PURPLE PERKS STAY THE SAME. i think these changes will make rampart stand out, more fluid and streamlined without making her too OP. Im sorry if this is all over the place.Weapon in apex legends .
I can understand that the developers want to play weapons (either they say they don't play to make them play even if they were already playing a lot) but please stop doing anything they have the alternator that has become too strong the re-45 too and now the hemlok... it's really anything it shows that he doesn't play their games because then people play that game this force to play alternator, re-45 and now hemlok because it's just too strong and too strong It's easy to make lots of kills (even if they're bad.) Except that the problem is that this meta weapon to assist totally destroys the game.! Because now an R-301 can no longer face a hemlok or an alternator because its **bleep** weapon... lays you down in only 6 balls and has 0 setbacks... so concludes all players now play its cheat weapon except the good players but now the good players get destroyed share of the nubs just because the developers have fun destroying their games. Please stop returning weapons too strong for nothing and return to the base (all weapons are worth it.) Otherwise your game will become even more dead. Frankly, it doesn't make you want to keep playing Apex Legends when you start a game and you die in 2s just because the person in front of you is playing a hemlok, re-45 or alternator.Banned, no way to appeal for weeks then rejected in 10 minutes
I want to share my full experience here. The details at the beginning are just for reference, but what really matters is what happened afterwards. My account was banned after my last session around 11 March 2026. I was not banned during gameplay — I had already exited the game when the ban happened. According to the data I could download, my last match ended at 2026-03-11T19:06:17Z (disconnect by user), anti-cheat activity ended at 19:12:01Z, and the ban was applied later at 20:44:07Z. So the ban clearly happened after I stopped playing. What makes this even more frustrating is that I actually had NVIDIA Instant Replay enabled specifically in case something like this ever happened. But since the ban occurred well after I exited the game, the replay buffer (which only keeps the last ~20 minutes) was useless. There was simply no way for me to capture the moment the ban was applied. Also, according to my data, the previous time I played before March 11 was March 8 — when I was streaming. So there is a clear gap in activity, and I do have full recordings from that session which I am completely willing to provide. I’m not going to argue endlessly about whether the ban is correct. I’ll just state clearly that I did not use any cheats — no aimbot, no aim assist tools, no XIM/Cronus/Strikepack, no scripts, no cfg exploits. I’ve read the rules and I know what is allowed. The only things I did that might look different are these: I use UU Accelerator because otherwise my ping is over 300ms and I can’t realistically play on Asian servers, while matchmaking in Australia can take extremely long. I modified a keybind config to invert sprint behavior (auto sprint by default, hold to walk), and I edited my videoconfig.txt to get a proper 16:10 resolution on a 2K monitor. I also own a controller, but I haven’t used it in Apex for a long time — during my last sessions it was only plugged in via receiver and not actually used. The receiver being plugged in does not activate the controller, and throughout my gameplay the in-game input indicators consistently showed keyboard and mouse only, with no controller input detected at any point. My keyboard is a Nuphy 60 HE (magnetic switch), and my mouse is an ATK F1 Extreme, both of which I have been using consistently for months without any changes. I do not use any macros or input automation. The only configuration on my keyboard is enabling the rapid response feature for WASD keys, which is a built-in hardware feature and does not inject or modify inputs. This also happened during the recent anti-cheat wave targeting converter-type devices. I understand and fully support banning those devices, but I have never used any converter or similar hardware. If anything, my system environment should be even cleaner than usual. About two weeks before the ban, I completely reinstalled Windows because another FPS game’s anti-cheat broke my WSL environment, which I need for development. So my system was essentially fresh at that point. I can also see that I was reported multiple times for aim snap, which might be related, but again, I have never used anything that would cause that. I clearly stated in my appeal that I can provide video evidence, and I am still willing to do so. All of that is just context. The real problem started after the ban. For over two weeks, I couldn’t even submit an appeal. The EA Help website just loops you between pages — one explaining appeals, and one where submissions fail with “case not created.” There is no clear way to contact a real person, only an AI chatbot giving irrelevant answers. I couldn’t find any proper entry point to reach support. I was effectively locked out of the appeal system entirely. In the end, the only way I managed to contact a human was by logging out and choosing a completely unrelated support category. That workaround came from this forum, not from EA’s own system. To be clear, I don’t blame the support agent. He did what he could and helped create a case for me. But he also can’t fix a broken system. And then came the part that really made me give up. The case was created at 10:54 AM and declined at 11:04 AM — about 10 minutes. No one contacted me. No one asked for the video evidence I explicitly offered. No one gave me a chance to provide anything further. I mentioned multiple times that I have recordings. I told the support agent as well. I was even told there might be a way to submit them later. But in reality, nothing happened. The case was simply closed with a template response. At that point, it’s hard to believe anyone actually reviewed the information. In such a short time, it really makes you question whether a human was involved at all. After spending two weeks just trying to submit an appeal, this “review” felt meaningless. And honestly, that’s the worst part of this entire experience. I’ve seen other games handle uncertain cases differently. For example, in some cases games like Valorant may apply temporary restrictions when behavior looks suspicious but cannot be fully confirmed, instead of immediately issuing permanent bans without giving players any real opportunity to respond. In comparison, this process felt extremely one-sided. I used to genuinely enjoy Apex. I’ve told many people it’s one of the best FPS games out there. I’ve been a long-time EA player as well — I’ve played Battlefield 1 and V, pre-ordered Battlefield 6, and finished Titanfall 2’s campaign. I was even invited to Battlefield Labs testing, although I couldn’t participate. I’ve never had any issues on my account before. But after going through this, I’m just tired. At this point, this doesn’t even feel like an appeal system anymore. It feels like decisions are made without any real way for players to respond or provide evidence. And the fact that I can only even say this here on the forum — because there is no proper way to submit a complaint through the official system — says a lot. I could create a new account and keep playing. But I don’t want to. After this experience, I won’t be playing Apex anymore, and I won’t be spending time or money on EA titles going forward. I’m sharing this so others know what the process currently looks like. If something goes wrong, don’t expect a real chance to explain yourself. And that’s why I’m walking away.
