Re: Pc players in apex

@bonzey420 It’s the same game. PC players don’t get any advantages that you’re describing.

You shouldn’t be getting PC lobbies unless you’re queuing with a PC player anyways?

I think asking for separate input lobbies would be a better idea.

    @RaginSam Someone is getting lots of advantages, not sure if it's pc players or another format like ps5, but there are players who can shoot through walls and crates, and absorb 10x the damage as a non advantage player yet down someone in 1 or 2 hits no matter the gun. I agree with the OP, all players should have the same stats across the board and the same moves, but buying a controller box or souped up pc means you get advantages and access to these privileges. Season 20 and 21 are when these problems became noticeable for me.

    @AymCTL Huh? Those aren't "privileges"... sounds like either really bad hit reg/networking, which has been an ongoing issue, or just straight up cheating. That has nothing to do with people playing on a PC.

    the main problem for us PC players is the aim assist that you console players abuse, what you see with strange movements is the soft aimbot which is a classic cheat and which EAC still cannot intercept, unfortunately those who develop cheats It's always a step forward unfortunately

    Well, if you willingly queue up with a PC player, it's your problem when you play their lobbies.

    If you mean how they have exploited their way into console Mixtape for like 4 seasons, then report them and refuse to play with them. Especially, go after their names. Low hanging fruit and seems to actually yield results. Can't believe some of these Steam names people have. 100% violating EA ToS. Sexual names, racist names, etc.. I even came across one with... a less than flattering anti-Ukrainian name. Names that would never fly on PSN at all.

    @VersusGravity Not sure what causes the bad hit reg/networking, but right, it has been an ongoing issue, and other cases can be explained as straight up cheating.

    The only time I play with or against pc players is in mixtape. In gun run for instance, there are matches where one pc player is allowed in to balance the match, and when that player is on my team it is an instant win 100% of the time, no matter how the other 2 of us play, which is why I always sigh relief when I see the pc symbol on our team instead of someone else's. When a gun run has only console players, sure I may lose, but it is always a fun competitive match where you can't spot the winner until the final few guns.

    I'm not saying buying a pc automatically makes you unstoppable in apex. I'm buying one right now in fact, but I plan to play fair and square without any unfair advantages. I think pc players in mixtape are more likely to have cheats installed that allow the things I mentioned in the previous posts, which is why things happen like in the gun runs. Cheating as a console player requires a box they purchase and run scripts with, so it seems like that can also be an issue, but it is my understanding the pc players don't require this. For instance, moderators on here have said setting configuration buttons to perform more than one action is a bannible offense in multiple threads. I don't think console players can do this.

    @AymCTL After reading what I just posted, I just want to add I don't think all pc players are cheating at mixtape. I just think it's a large enough problem that you run into this on a regular basis.

    @AymCTLThey definitely are not all cheating , to be fair. Depending what we categorise as "cheating". I still consider MnK cheating, e.g., when you're in console Mixtape, regardless of it being a legal input on PC Apex.
    But no, they are obviously not. I think I once posted a picture of a Fragment Gun Run game here, where I was the only console player in the lobby, and I still came out of it as the best player in the lobby + a win. But(!), I have never reported so much before in Apex as I did when PC's were in console Mixtape. Neo strafing Octanes, bouncing around while not missing R99 sprays. People who magically fires the moment you try to peak from cover. Horizon teammates running around one-mag'ing with R99 the other team from across the map. I tell you, I have been here since s2 and I have never ever seen so much crazy nonsense in all that time, as I have the past 4 seasons on Mixtape.

    @bonzey420 Yes, that's an age old issue. Because its default setting is set to on, and for some reason people just accept that and leave it on. When it obviously should be the other way around. It should be off by default, and people who wanna play with Xbox and whatever could turn it on. I need to complain to SONY about that. They should force devs to make it default to off.

  • @lnxtv the problem is not the control with AIM ASSIST, the problem is the MOUSE AND KEYBOARD players with AIM ASSIST.
