Re: Hrm I dont think the crosshair is supposed to behave like that (video)

@Balladalidila Usually when someone is using a cheat, like seeing people through walls, or aimbot, you don't see anything from the spectation point of view that would give it away. You only got how they're playing to go off of.

So, the crosshair freaking out like that just seems like a bug. We all know how the game loves its bugs.

Although then again, maybe their cheat is acting in such a way that the game doesn't know what to do. Which in that case, maybe they are aimbotting, and the cheat is snapping all over the place to try and hit targets within the range, while the player's gun isn't moving since they're not actually aiming. This honestly would explain how people can hit you when they have their sides facing you, or when the bullet lines don't even line up or are near the gun when they fire it.

I had a game where a player was shooting, but the bullets were being fired where they weren't shooting from, and every shot they missed, still hit me and my team.

    @Midnight9746 

    Hrm yeah might just been a crosshair bug. Because when I spectated him further into the game, he changed to a wingman and missed quite alot of shots with that.  Hehe kunda fun though with a premade 3-stack, all with 4k, 20 dmg badges, two in Bronze and one in silver =) I dont really complain because I also started out in silver2 or something this split but I am only playing solo ranked on the other hand.

    Btw I also spectated a guy who hit bullets that wasnt even close to hit on the spectate view but I assumed it was a bug since his hit/miss ratio was nothing out of the ordinary.

    @Balladalidila Yeah, it's a bit weird.

    Although there's a cheat I remember hearing about that lets the cheater see who's spectating them and how many, (like player's actual names and what squad they were from), which is why I think there is also a cheat that forces players spectations onto another squad when they get killed by the cheater, and in most recent events this had started to happen when I switch my view to the cheater's POV. I would go from seeing their teammate, to seeing a completely different squad. This doesn't seem like a bug as it doesn't happen often and when it does, the enemy team has one or two players with god-like aim and are shredding the whole lobby. But who knows, I guess.

    A few examples I have, are that I had games where I've gotten killed by say, a Lifeline, while my friend got killed by a Pathfinder or whoever. They're still watching the squad, while I'm somehow watching a team on the other side of the map. While within the last two weeks, I've had instances where I was viewing the stats of the players on the team that killed mine, (with a legit looking player being my killer), and the second I viewed the teammate that seemed to be cheating, it snapped my spectation onto another squad completely, while this team went on to win the game. I'll honestly be surprised if this is a bug.

    Furthermore, with the statement about how players are shooting from places they aren't at, just imagine the reverse of the guy getting shot at in your last video. The bullets were being fired about the same distance away from the guy getting shot at, but they were also flying past me like in the video. I guess Apex is just being Apex.

    So, I think a lot of this just boils down to lag compensation, bugs, and the likes. Although Respawn hasn't seemed to acknowledge the force spectation being a "bug" yet, and I don't understand what would cause the crosshair to lose its mind in the first place, other than mix inputs from the player and a cheat software or overlay.
