Ban players abusing in game glitch

In a Ranked game these players were abusing the "burning trident" glitch. You can shoot them but they won't take any damage. This make them to use the glitch the whole game and making them to go end game. That's what it happened. Final circle, 3 squads left and they kept hitting people with the trident, making it hard for us to focus and play decently. And this way, they won the game. Now imagine them doing this every single game. Apparently you can only create this glitch with a Fuse. Take a look at them. Surprise, they have a Fuse. Screen shots attached.

Hey folks,

I get the viewpoint here and understand the frustration around these reports, so just adding to what @EA_Lanna said above, our team is aware of the exploit and it's being worked on.

Hi @arturdzgn

I've edited your post to remove the screenshots.

Don't "name and shame." If you see a suspected cheater, please report them by using the appropriate tools. We can't take any action against such accounts on Answers HQ, and such posts can lead to harassment.

@EA_Antonio Hey, quick question. Why would you remove the screenshots? That player clearly knew he was cheating therefore he should be banned and it’s happening in a bunch of matches too. These bugs are getting out of hand. Please do something better about it, I know that you can quickly fix these bugs in a few days. I personally have seen what you guys as a company can do. I grew up in the Star Wars Battlefront and PVZ GW era. Those were great games that had little to no glitches. Unlike Apex with us unfortunately the opposite.

My intention is not to harass or shame anyone. Just calling out cheaters or exploiters that get away with this. Every single game. I was not able to report in game unfortunately. With with screenshots attached there's no better proof to let you know this guys were exploring a glitch. I'm just doing my part to get this game as clean and fun as possible. Thanks

@arturdzgn Yeah I agree. I’ve seen this glitch several times. It sucks how EA took away your screenshots for “don’t ‘name and shame.’” If you’re abusing a glitch, which there is a lot, that person deserves to be reported and banned or suspended.

@arturdzgn Yes, these players need to be banned AND name and shamed.

I just ran into this glitch for the first time. Wow.
Way to go Apex just when I thought ranked couldn’t get worse.

@EA_Antonio More worried about name and shaming the cheater than the cheaters screwing up your game. What a joke.

@7639c54a55fd4e79 If you read the EA guidelines then they believe games are for everyone. I guess that also means people who abuse glitches.

The official Respawn/EA employees don't read or care about this forum in my experience. This forum has no power to it. They just send around their forum "champions" that gain a nice banner to tell everyone hey this guy is nothing else than an active user in forum and is not an official employee and therefor can't do anything.

There was like three glitchedTridents on my last game. This is getting out of hand now.
