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.

Yep just had one of these game. It's a * show! ☹️

It has been like this for a few of days now, so either people are not getting banned as they should be or you are not protecting the game from cheats by fixing the bug.
Get on with it, maybe if I give you some overpriced Apex Coins you'd do something? :o

Hi folks,

It might help to understand why we have a forum rule on naming and shaming. The forum rule is there to protect people from cyberbullying. It makes it quite clear that any naming of other people and shaming them isn't going to fly on Answers HQ. It's unconscionable to allow witch hunts or dogpiling, so we don't. There's a zero-tolerance policy on any naming and shaming here as a result.

Now, because bashing other people isn't allowed on this forum, does that mean you can't flag potential cheaters to EA? Not at all. In the same rule, we share a link to our EA Help article on how fans can let us know about potential cheaters and harassment. Following the steps in that article ensures the reports go straight through to our teams who are actively investigating and actioning cheating activity and bad actors.

TL:DR The rule isn't there to shut down reports or protect cheaters from getting their comeuppance. It's to prevent cyberbullying while providing a safe and fair way for our fans to let us know about potential cheaters and harassment.

As there is nothing anyone on Answers HQ can do with these reports, I'll close this thread from here. Please, follow the steps in the EA Help article linked above to report suspicous activity.
