PS4 Player fired an entire mag of Semi-Auto Flatline in under two seconds...

Respawn why can I not report this cheating player on ps4.  It's absolutely ridiculous that we on console still don't have a way of reporting ACTUAL cheaters.  This guy I ran into actually fires his Flatline in single fire faster than an R-301.  I took a clip of him firing an entire 20 round magazine of a Flatline in under 2 seconds.  UNDER 2 SECONDS. HE FIRED 20 ROUNDS OUT OF A SEMI-AUTO FLATLINE IN UNDER 2 SECONDS.  This is not possible even with a good scuff.  This kid is ruining the game for honorable players, but theres nothing I can do about it except just sit back and watch you make another collection event.  

He obviously is using a heavily modded controller.  Not even a Scuf, because I had a Scuf Infinity Pro Ps4 controller with the hairline triggers and I could not fire the Flatline anywhere near as fast as this kid, and I have a phenomenal trigger finger on top of that.  

Please for the love of God give console players a way to report cheaters and get this scumbag off of this game.

    @dlpaulson12 Probably was using a Strikepack mod with rapidfire , respawn can’t even detect people using Xims on console so they definitely wont detect strikepack mods for controllers

    It's easy enough to enforce a fire rate limit in software though....

    Respawn are inviting physical cheating by having weapons without such an intrinsic limit.

    @dlpaulson12 

    Thank you for your concern. If you need to report any suspected cheaters/abuse seen in Apex games please report them in game or by following the steps in this link: https://www.easy.ac/en-us/support/apexlegends/contact/report/

    While our forum staff will pass along feedback how the community feels overall around this topic to Respawn, we need you to report them through the correct features in game and/or link above so the teams we have at EA that are in charge of reviewing these accounts will take a look. I know from personal experience over decades of playing games how irritating cheaters can be and it might sound robotic when we are posting the link above repeatedly to players on these forums, but it truly will help if they're reported through proper methods for those responsible in investigating it. 

    Thanks for the heads up and good luck in your future matches. 👍

    @SethCurry I'm wondering if maybe @EA_Blueberry should modify or delete that hardware cheat's name, because all it's going to do is drive more people to go search for it on Google, which I'm doing right now.
