Community ManagerHi @PRX_its3,
Thanks for looking to bring cheaters to our attention and share your suggestions on how you think we could improve with that. A quick heads up, I've edited your post to remove the image as it names and shames another player which is against our forum rules.
I'm afraid we can't process reports made on the forum. We'd need this information to be sent directly to the team investigating these reports. I'll share the steps on how to report Apex cheaters below:
- To report a cheater on console, follow the steps in the spoiler tag.
While in a match, bring up the in-game menu (Tab on PC, Options on PS4, Menu on Xbox One) and open the Squad tab.
Select the warning symbol (“!” inside a triangle) under the player you want to report.
Click Submit.
You can also report a player while spectating them after you have fallen in a match.

- For PC players, you can report players by reaching out to Kamu (a service we partner with to help curb cheating) directly via their website.
Thanks,
EA_Lanna
So you're saying that you won't move a finger to help us combat cheaters, that Kamu website is a joke, meaning you don't and won't help us reporting cheaters other than putting in some buttons, and doing nothing about it.
Never seen anything like it, you couldn't care less about us, players... That's a shame...
I'd like to end this discussion if I could.
There are a few factors here:
1. For a kill-cam to work, Respawn would need to rework the spectating system.
2. Would I be correct to assume Shadowplay highlights reserve space in order to hold replays until they are compiled when the user hits save? Along that vein, wouldn't the same be true for kill cams, but require a considerably smaller amount of space? I imagine the replay information would be much smaller than a video, considering the kill cams wouldn't be videos, nor would they be over a minute.
3. Apex netcode is a big issue. For a replay to work well, the tickrate needs to be higher. Valve already had complaints about 32-tick CS replays (and Apex is even less). Given how frequently I experience very inconsistent server performance (SEA mostly), I imagine they have no plans to implement this, nor intend to improve their netcode. We know what's possible, but Apex isn't a passion project for Respawn, or many of the features we're asking for would have been implemented already.
Unfortunately, the devs and players don't the love Apex the same. EA use Apex for PR, or they'd have worked on the functional components of the game, and less about making Fuze a Pansexual (seriously? that's not very true-blue aussie).
Tangent aside. The track record says we won't get it (which is no excuse), I think we deserve better, we know it can happen, Respawn make it happen. The effort you put in now will reduce the effort required later (a good killcam system will mean less false reports, hence less effort).
