Cheaters have taken over console lobbies

You can not get into a game anymore without someone automatically headshot beaming across the map with 0 recoil. It is every single game people are cheating blatantly and when you report them nothing happens. There's so many fresh accounts with 4k badges that ONLY get headshots. It's just not even playable anymore. It feels like a MW lobbie from 2015. How did the devs let it get so far out of hand and so blatant without any repercussions? This may very well be Apex last season if they can't fix it. -SEASON 4 player

    I agree and believe that you do care, and so do the Cm's. 

    The problem is EA doesn't care.... I doubt that Respawn cares much either. But its safe to say that EA absolutely doesn't care, unless the income declines below a specific threshold. Hence Battlefield 6. Crazy how just like that EA can stop and ban cheaters that quickly. Shows they have always had the ability to do so (we know this from devs speaking out online) but not for a 6 year old game that still makes money. But for a brand new huge title that just dropped... yup, seems to be money in the budget all of a sudden. 

  • Facts bro. And this company will never has the capacity to fix it. It’s been a HUGE problem for way too long with no support from Respawn or EA. I legit just cancelled Xbox live and deleted apex. Just order a Zen and join those hackers or delete the game and move on. It’ll never be fixed. 

  • To me the key word in that description of the problem was "fresh accounts." If people feel the need to cheat, that's one thing. But allowing an unlimited number of secondaries means not only that they can get caught cheating and then immediately cheat the ban on an alternate account, but it also means they're cheating the matchmaker. Which would at least, on the original account, move them into lobbies filled with other cheaters.

    Until Respawn can acknowledge the magnitude of the secondary problem, and that most players who have them are using them to beat the matchmaker AND to beat cheat bans, then this entire discussion is dead in the water. And they will NEVER acknowledge that secondaries are anything other than a way for them to make their player count look higher than it really is.

    Well, we're waiting for specific actions, because something must be wrong if such topics appear on the forum every other day (from various people).

  • I don't believe in miracles, but the only thing we can do is write on this forum and they won't care about us anyway. :) The truth is that PC is even more infected than console and here everything is out of control.

    Yet roll out supposed "anti cheat" with every new game, apex legends is dying because devs absolutely refuse to do anything about it, they say they do but I've noticed every single match  I've played recently has been completely out of control with cheaters. I went from 5+kills a game to 2 every 5 or 6 games because the wall hacks and Aimbots .... but yet the developers continue to lie saying their "combating" it  ... Do Better respawn / EA
