Serious Problems In Ranked... Hackers Galore

So I honestly want to talk about something that needs to be addressed. The amount of hacking that occurs in high rank lobbies is legitimately out of control. In the last 5 days, ranked has been CRAWLING with hackers left and right, to the point where I literally can only handle about 30-60 minutes of ranked sessions before returning to pub lobbies and having no choice but to "stomp" the lobby. 

In one night alone in consecutive back-to-back games:

2 controller, 1 PC team being boosted by a Aimbotting PC hacker

Hacker with aimbot is downing people mid-train yard into Countdown and Staging with a 1x Scope on an R301

Hacker in Skyhook melting people with a Hemlock, and pretends to be using a controller to only be caught the next game snapping and locking on people through walls.

PC Player with a fancy Japanese Steam Name with 20 IQ melting people with an R-99

Its very concerning when you have a function in-game to report hackers and you continually see them in your game. Yesterday alone I reported 5 hackers in-game, through EAC and through RSPWN_Hideouts on twitter. Its a joke. I legitimately begin to think that the integrity of the game is unacceptable. The stark reality is I have a small community of people I routinely play with who are also attempting to grind out your Diamond ranks and I wake up to messages this morning from them saying and I quote:

"The way this game is handling hackers doesn't make me want to play, I try to get better and just face hackers to no avail".

"I was literally telling my girlfriend last night I don't feel like playing this game anymore".

The only "safe" thing to do in these lobbies is to just camp a building, wait for a team to get the drop on them and grab as much KP as you can. Playing the game as its intended to be played, such as running to get that third party and mop up or simply running into a fresh team and having a team fight is just not feasible. This is why people are camping. The team fights are a toss up.

After putting more than 1000+ hours since the whole COVID-19 quarantine, I really enjoy this game as my primary go to game but last night... I literally felt like just uninstalling the game and moving on. Its sad to see preferential treatment being given to content creators and pro-players as they can seemingly DM someone instantly and have them banned live while they are spectating the player. Absolute joke.

TLDR; I just needed to rant about hacking. Tell me how you guys feel!

  • I can't disagree with you, I have seen so many more this season....to the point where I have stopped playing as much, we're talking like 80% less than I used to play.

    I don't bother complaining about hackers...if the company does nothing there are other games to play.  

  • @Binary140_TTV yeah probably gonna be better in a week, u can see all pro`s and streamers encounter a lot of cheaters last few days, so devs probably gonna do smth or no one will play this game
  • The problem with this post OP is that respawn NEVER come here! So it's a waste of time. Maybe try reddit but the mods there are sock puppet accounts of respawn employees. So they remove anything negative. So basically nothing will happen! sorry!

    It sucks also cause i dislike olympis. So to play on what i find enjoyable puts me in games that are not enjoyable full of cheaters. Know how annoying it is to be level 1300+ 15k games played to be lasered by a level 50 1 mag? All head shots? Then see this same user in next 5 games..... If Covid was a pc game it would be apex at this time.

    @Acumental Would do no good with only 1 man doing all the work on cheaters. Verse the company creating a program for a exploit team for very trusted users to help. Other games do it. But not Apex Legends. They rather us all suffer and put 1 man through hell who only can ban up to around 2-400 a day which is nothing when numbers reach 1m + thats chump change. Chump change at that they will just create new account and boom 2-400 cheaters instantly are back.
  • @E9ine_AC Just face it the game is dead. Find something else to play. I quit over a month ago now. Still haven't found a regular game but have played, some cod, some dayz (quite fun) and trying tarkov now. It's been nice not playing anything to seriously.

    DayZ is one of my outlets too.

    Give Tarkov a try...it is fun.

    I have been playing Ark on a private server again and it has been swallowing up my game time.
