SEASON 16 It's quite funny how EA improvements never work.

It's quite funny how every single season they say they have improved anti-cheat, smurfing issues etc. it's gettin worse... lvl 20 smurfs pretty much every ranked lobby plat at least. So many shady ha...

@MindTrick85Fortnite also uses EAC, if you are talking about at a Software Level of dection.

It's my understanding there is also Server Side Detection too, along with the Reports someone submits, when someone submits a report they are looked at manually by someone to verify.

There is also Conor Ford that handles cheating too.

So the Cheating system isn't just EAC, it's several areas that I mentioned.

I really don't know if we can all honestly say they don't care, it's just not easy to deal with. I see people banned all the time in this game.

@d3bugIT I feel like part of why EAC isn't working as well for Apex is because Epic Games owns EAC, so why would they let a BR competitor become "better" then Fortnite?

I did play Fortnite again last year, (not as much since a lot has changed), but about 1/5 games, there seemed to be a cheater, but never the same cheater each time there was one in the match. In Apex, it feels like almost every game has a cheater, and more so cheater(s) that are a full squaded up together, and you'll often see the same cheater(s) in multiple matches across days, weeks, and sometimes even months still playing.

In all honesty, Apex just needs a better anti-cheat and it might as well be a kernal level anti-cheat as Valorant doesn't seem to get a whole lot of cheaters. I'm not fully sure as I've only played about 4 matches and decided it wasn't the game for me.

    yeah honestly i wouldn't care about some kernel anti cheat like vanguard that valorant has. I'm willing to sacrifice my privacy if it means less cheaters. Who cares about whatever possible malicious things a kernel anticheat would give them access too i doubt they would abuse your system intentionally anyways.

    Aware that a couple users sitting at the top of the leaderboard are cheaters. They are already banned. They should be purged from their spots soon.
