Re: Cheaters can change name mid game

I've looked up profiles after a game, letter for letter and they aren't found. So I've encountered this as well. It does seem there are extra features in their software. Thanks for sharing that info.

I would imagine the in-game report system works on the account / ID regardless of a name change, so just report in-game to be safe.

I know it's infuriating, but l'm going to continue to enjoy the game and improve while the devs focus on a solution.

    Had a hacker with a bunch of i's and l's in their name except one character that wasn't even on the keyboard.. It was some kind of Greek lettering.

    I got killed by the same guy,  super obvious aim botting.

    Lol same guy? Almost every cheater uses a barcode name, there really isn't any other reason to have a barcode name unless you want to make it impossible for other people to add you as a friend and getting back to the OP, yes, some people have mods to change their online ID to make it impossible to report them and other even more nerdy cheaters hook up like 10 computers together to constantly switch IP addresses to make it impossible to trace or ban them the same way criminals hook a bunch of cellphones together to make it impossible to trace them by switching phone numbers constantly.

    Hey all, please do not share links to any cheats you may see as doing so is technically a breach of the AHQ User Rules and Guidelines.

    If you are in game and suspect a user of cheating then please report them by following the steps in this link: https://www.easy.ac/en-us/support/apexlegends/contact/report/

    We take all reports very seriously and will fully investigate.

    You haven't heard? They're issuing hardware bans, so IP changes aren't working, lol.
