    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.

@drevinum9 I'm at the point where I'd might as well uninstall the game. Cheating is RAMPANT and despite reporting OBVIOUS aimbot, I only ever get, "sorry, we didn't take action" emails.

Yeah sure, don't ban the cheater in the pred rank snapping onto people, including through walls or the countless of console / PC controller players abusing AA with strikepacks.

They call this game a tripple A title, but can't be bothered to fix the bugs that plague it and put forth an anti-cheat that actually works. If you didn't know, EAC doesn't CARE about actually doing its job, it depends MAINLY on player reports. With more and more players quitting due to the cheating problem, and with EA/Respawn seeming to ignore in-game reports unless its from a pro player or someone sending in video evidence, no wonder why cheating is so rampant.

If I stopped and recorded every cheater I ran into, and reported them to help.ea, that's all I'd ever be doing. Reporting, reporting, and reporting. That's how many I keep seeing and its annoying.

I see a smurf every 3rd or so game, and a cheater pretty much every match. I see zero recoil, aimbot, soft aimbot, and wall hacks frequently. I see cheaters pre-stack every 4th or so match. I also see the same cheaters who I've reported a week, month, few months ago still playing, locking onto targets with aimbot. A few in which got Apex pred with those cheats.

For those of you who go, "well, maybe you're just bad". The #1 pred was banned in S18 for cheating. Let that sink in. If someone can "grind" all the way to the #1 spot with cheats, that only tells you how broken and useless the anti-cheat is, not to mention that several pros and most of the community called the player out for cheating, and they were caught playing with cheaters a few seasons ago themselves, like how were they not banned for so long?

    @drevinum9The matchmaking and lack of a good anti-cheat made this game highly unplayable. I went from playing 15+ matches a day to barely playing 5, because I would get bullied by a matchmaking running off of EOMM rules, rather than "SBMM", and there's so many cheaters, smurfs, and controller cheaters playing the game, (and I don't mean aim assist, I mean strikepack, xim, chronus zen, etc.)

    Every single time a friend asks me if they should play Apex, I tell them, "no". One friend did try playing the game back in S15, and within the first 3 matches, they ran into cheaters, smurfs, and when they joined me in a party, they noted that the matches I was in were the same ones they were put into. So yeah, the game doesn't seem to care if you're new or been playing since the start.

    Edited 1: I just ran into a full cheating squad, one was low level, strikepacking on console, the other two had aimbot, with one using the grenade cheat where it instantly blows up. They knocked me down with gunfire, and then threw a frag grenade that landed right next to me, which they only tossed about 9 meters, and it blew up right when it flew by next to me. They weren't a Fuse, but close enough to where I should of had time to block it with the knockdown shield, but I couldn't turn as it automatically went off the moment it went next to me. After they squadwiped us, my spectation was forced onto a team all the way across the map, and no one else was nearby where I died to even 3rd party, (which they would become the squad I'd spectate if they did 3rd party and killed that team).

    Edited 2: I just saw a "pred" player, hipfiring a Kraber. What's the issue? They were landing every single shot, no matter the range. That's right, the player was aimbotting with the Kraber, and somehow the anti-cheat thinks its not "cheating". They were with another player who was using aimbot as well, and their 3rd was dead, so I don't know about them, but the one that was alive was only level 58. I don't even know why I bother to even play ranked when its like this.

      So, the Rev Army event is back for the final week of the Uprising event, and all I see is Revenants with reach hacks. I'm being punched 2-3x the normal distance and even when I go up into the air as Valkyire, they can still punch me, despite being 10 meters off the ground, according to the game's pinging system. Yes, I know Revs can double jump, but the ones who were hitting me weren't jumping, they were lunching via the punching animation, which snapped them to me as if they were in range.

      No idea how increased reach isn't "detectable".

      Of course it goes without saying that some of the players on the legend side are also aimbotting.

      While I'm not sure if its a server issue or cheat, but some of the cheaters on either side seem to be having no regs, as in, when they're almost dead, you cannot kill them as any and all killing shots deal no damage to them. To me, it sounds like a cheat since I only see it with players who are clearly cheating.

      Edited 1/5/2024

      Please get a better anti-cheat. I've just watched a full team run through ring 3, only taking the OLD ring 1 damage, and by old, I mean two ring changes ago old.

      If ring 3 does 10 per tick, these players were only taking 2 per tick. I have no idea how obvious cheats like that goes "undetected". Sometimes I'd see players take no ring damage at all, and I have absolutely no idea how that's not detectable either. Then again, the anti-cheat overlooks some cheaters who just spawns in red evo armor right in front of them, so I don't know anymore.
