Just another Lie by this Dev team. Asked ChatGPT about using a zen on console….

Ask chat GPT if you can use a chronus zen on console. Easy AF. 

It’s one of the games biggest issues yet you continue to push it under the rug. Balance the game and bring some legitimacy back into it. 

I can’t stand how much this dev team is not only messing this game and opportunity up, but lying about the legitimacy. 

what a clown show, obviously the leaders have of this clue have 100% ego and 0% clue. 

  • Hey CruiseDavis​,

    You didn't mention what findings your ChatGPT had regarding this issue or what sources it used to come up with its answer, so I'm not sure what you think is the lie here.

    That said, here's an official source from several members of the dev team discussing this. It's not at all being pushed under the rug. 

    TL;DR - Yes, it's an issue we're aware of, and it's one we continue working on from multiple angles.

    Q:Any news on strikepack/cronus/xim/aim botting/wall hacking on console - a lot of pc players glitching into console - major problem in ranked lobbies especially.

    We are aware of the situation with 3rd party devices on consoles and are working on solutions to detect and combat them, though I can't share any timelines at the moment.

    It is a difficult problem to solve for multiple reasons, but one of the biggest is the ability to accurately detect the devices themselves across the various platforms and devices. Our approach is behavioural detection for the specific macros and functions that give a gameplay advantage.

    Q: Are strike packs, Xim or Cronus detectable and punishable? Or is it needed to be allowed due to accessibility issues with custom controller. People born with disabilities for example need it to play effectively.

    In some cases the devices themselves are not against the terms of service, however some of the functionality they offer is, such as macros.
    Our goal is to detect and combat the specific functions that are used to give an unfair advantage.

    Q: As a console player, how seriously are cheating reports taken when players are suspected of using third-party hardware like Cronus, XIM, or strike packs? These devices give unfair advantages in casual modes too, and reporting them often feels like shouting into the void. Is there any transparency or feedback planned for these kinds of reports?

    You can refer to this response for the answer to part of your question.

    In regards to reports, yes we do take them seriously and there will be feedback given as we roll out new detections in the future.

    It’s not good enough. It’s ruining the legitimacy of the game and there has been no progress on the issue FOR YEARS.

    If I could thumbs down a reply I would. I just played a mixtape on console where a level 14 had 34 kills. 

    ‘tell me you’re brainwashed by your employer without actually saying you’re brainwashed’

  • I absolutely hate what apex has become. The leaders of the direction of this game should be FIRED. What a disappointment this game has become. Must use, no fun, unbalanced weapons every season. 

    like clue in you clown show of a company. You Inherited a great game and absolutely blew it. 

    just wanted to come and give my opinion of how gross this game is. Unplayable unless you have a chronus Zen or are using one to g the 3 unbalanced, OP, and like I said, NO FUN weapons

    countdown is on and BF6 will be the first of the final 2 nails in Apex Legenda coffin, game will be dead by GTA6. it’s been too little too late  

     

  • APEX is Borderline Unplayable Unless you Have a Zen

    See topic. I don’t know how much longer we have to deal with an unbalanced, cheating infested game being absolutely IGNORED by the developers. I’m just beyond blown away with how bad this game is.
