I asked a question about strikepacks and now I can’t see it why?

Lately I’ve been looking into what’s going on with Apex as my KD is dropping while my damage averages are going up. The game is off balanced. Horizon has created an uneven playing field much like pathfinder in train yard, but hers is anywhere. But, it was more then that. Once I saw people using Strikepacks I understood the level of cheating. And now people are augmenting games so you get kicked out for rp. I can now literally tell when I’m facing cheaters. I also played with a kid yesterday that I’m pretty sure was cheating with a Strikepack. What steps are being taken to fix this? I’ve dumped many hours and dollars into this game and I’m starting to feel like EA has once again destroyed a great franchise, through lazy stewarding

  • @redmercury13k If your damage is rising but kd is dropping there can be other factors than everyone is suddenly cheating.

    In what timeframe are we talking? I've noticed end of season mine tends to go down as only better players are still playing.

    Are you engaging in longer range or longer time fights more? This alone can make the damage go up. If you are facing better players the fights tend to last longer as you trade damage and heal which will up your damage.

    Check your knockdown ratio. Is it the same as what it was or has it too lowered? If it is the same maybe it is because you are not thirsting knocks as much.

  • I play a high aggressive press. I play daily, and have been experiencing very strange lobbies. Getting kicked a lot. The people I play with all check our frame rate and latency while playing. We have observed insane spikes when nearing teams that all seem to have laser aim and glitchy movement. I played yesterday with a dude who the minute we started playing with him the game started acting up, I watched him play when I was 

    downed, all glitchy and he rarely missed. And this was due to cover. Minute he left our lobby, the game went back to a normal game. I literally linked a YT video of strikepack button macros and recoil reduction, in another post that was removed. People are not only cheating but teaching others how to on YT. Can it be me sure, but I’ve never dropped 20 points in KD in a game once acclimated to it in my life time of FPS. So it’s strange having 1200 damage no kill games, in chains of games. And then a normal lobby and 12 kills with 850 damage. Then I go on line to see consensus and a lot of people ain’t happy. Then I find Strike Pack tutorials how to cheat. So yea I’d say people are cheating. Worst thing you can’t even report on console, so this type of thing has no way to be checked

    @redmercury13k Psh yeah, I've been seeing players with the controller logo on their banners when they kill me, and 9 out of 10 controller downs, the person was moving and aiming like they had aimbot, as it looked more advanced than what even a pro PC player is able to do.

    I've even shot at a Gibraltar who had their back to me, and I just watch the gun invert itself and I'm suddenly down a half second later. In other words, this controller player Gibraltar turned around in a fraction of a second. Controller players would have to have a very high sensitivity to be able to turn around like that.

    I've been noticing games have been more botty, as in a lot of the players are steam/console, you can't report them, and their aim is super unrealistic and can hit you through walls. People are breaking your armor without having to empty half their mag, and trying to hit them, is like trying to down Gibraltar through his dome shield. Its not going to happen.

    There's fights where I would go to 3rd party. I sneak up, and usually one player, sometimes one from both teams instantly sees me and starts shooting at me. The thing is, I'm still behind cover and at no point did these two had a chance to even know I was there to begin with.

    I've ran into a Pathfinder, Bangalore, and Horizon team today, and the Pathfinder and Bangalore had weird aim. No matter where you ran, they were able to hit you. I got knocked, and my Lifeline teammate revived me, the two killed Lifeline and the 3rd. Right when I got back on my feet, both Pathfinder and the Bangalore instantly turned around and both shot me at the same time. You can say they knew I got revived, and whatnot, but the thing is that they both were looting my team's boxes and suddenly snapped to me and hit me in the head. As I got shot, I can still hear them loot the box.
  • @Midnight9746 The other day this bloodhound wasnt even looking in my direction and was shooting me... it could be a visual bug but idk he was facing straight and I was on his side and I just saw the flatlines bullets shooting horizontally at me

    Why should developers care? Because people will stop playing there game due to cheaters? Why put in hours of practice just to get Beemed by some kid with no thumbs and a strike pack The game is riddled with cheaters
