Does apex actually punish cheaters

@Skuldorulf I feel like they do, at least in some way as I didn't see too many in quads, (or they're just not queing into the mode). However, there's plenty of other times that suggests that they don't do much.

I don't have the data or anything to argue one way or another, only that Hideout bans a ton of cheaters, (most recently was most of the preds and master players), but also that cheaters are still running rampant in ranked.

It feels like visually, they're not doing much about the cheaters, but there have been times when I got on, and no one was cheating for the whole day, then the next day the game was being swarmed again.

Again, I don't know the specifics myself, so it could be either way. I just hope it doesn't end up like Titanfall 1 & 2 where the game was pretty much handed over to cheaters and no one else played.
