    Hey all, please do not share links to any cheats you may see as doing so is technically a breach of the AHQ User Rules and Guidelines.

    From here on out, any sharing of videos or naming of users and accusing them of cheating or linking to cheating sites will result in bans.

    If you are in game and suspect a user of cheating then please report them by following the steps in this link:  https://www.easy.ac/en-us/support/apexlegends/contact/report/

    We take all reports very seriously and will fully investigate.

Issue is manually having to ban cheaters from individual reports doesn't fix anything, it's like putting a band-aid on top of a gushing severed artery. Game is F2P so unless they hardware ban people and they have an anti-cheat that will do it's job, the moment a reported cheater is banned, he will simply create a new account so I fail to see what's the point? Can the anti-cheat developpers actually learn how to counter new cheats just from player reports? I doubt it.

I agree there's a wider approach needed from EasyAntiCheat at a program/software level.

But if no one reports cheaters they can literally sit on their hands and do nothing, hiding behind the metric of 'well no one's reporting cheating'

@GrimyHR

Name and shame won't work in a F2P game though, people don't care if they're outed as a cheat if they can still get in games and use hose cheats. Also as said above if they are outed they just create a new account and start the cycle again.

    EasyAntiCheat doesn't work for modded controllers, so what's the point?

      @crashdisk2002 EAC doesn't work for anything, the whole system basically depends heavily on player report, which isn't how an "anti-cheat" system should work at all.

      Players are wall hacking, aimbotting, shooting completely "around" corners, (like I'm seeing bullets actually curve or go through the wall), I'm starting to see players who instantly have their ults ready at the start of a match, (like a Rampart pulling out Shiela not even a minute after landing, and Fuse having the ring of fire right away), haven't seen it in the last few days but players were also fast reviving and healing, etc.

      Easy anti-cheat doesn't even care, but even if it did work, its too easy to bypass, disable, etc. considering how many players are cheating. Also, according to EA, controller mods like strikepacks isn't cheating, even though it should be.

        Going to report this one to EA since I have a clear video proof of it, but will say it here: I was fighting a squad with my teammates, where we killed 2 out of 3 enemy players. The last player got away, but then fell off the map. The moment they fell off the map, I heard one of my teammate's say the voice line: "and that's the last of them".

        The same exact player was still alive in the game, despite being squad wiped. So either they were alive twice in one match, or they glitched onto another team. Either way, we need a better anti-cheat if EAC really thinks that's legit.

        Using an Apex stat tracker, I found that there's only one player who has their name, (incase it was Steam / Origin players, or someone on console using the same name), they were the only player, across all platforms, with the name.

    On the contra ray tehy in,y temp ban serious cheaters hardly hear of perma bans and do nothing when people report blatant cheaters within game who shoot through walls, use aim not, take no damage, spawn weapons or armour. They sit on tenir fat * and do NOTHING to the cheaters. The games dying finally. It’s what it deserves after years of abuse by neglect ive ea and respawn for not getting to grips with cheaters
