So I’ve noticed on occasion whenever you get killed by a really sweaty squad instead of spectating them it starts spectating a random team from across the map... is this a bug or were they hacking and then used a hack to force you to spectate somebody else so they won’t get caught as easilyi was the champion and the kill leader so either they got some wall hacks to specifically target me (I’ve seen videos of Tufi having every single players names available to see when he was targeting shivfps or ImperialHaul so i know its possible, or its just a random bug idk I am 100% certain our team didn’t trade kills with them because my random was running for their life after the 2 of them were chasing her lol

@TheApexLegendNub Pretty sure its a hack. Whenever I've gotten killed by people who were pros (and including getting obliterated by Rouge), it never once switched my spectation to another team, UNLESS the last person to knock me was from another team.

@TheApexLegendNubSame here. Whenever I rage and yell cheater, in 80% of cases it kick me to completely different squad, even people who killeld me are pretty much alive. Almost too coincendence...

@Srksii I've been kicked to watch other squads a few times now, and when it happens, I can see the squad that killed me, killing a lot of players in the kill feed. Sometimes the squad I was kicked to, runs into them, and I confirm cheating, and sometimes the squad I was kicked to dies off, and I get sent to watch the cheater's screen. I guess the "kick to watch another team", only reroutes when the game has you watch them after dying.I do know for a fact that a hack to see who's spectating you, and how many, exists in the game, and was mainly used for ranked, (someone showed a screenshot of it being used one time on the fourms to show it was an issue), and since normal modes no longer show us how many are watching us, I'm sure cheaters have that toggled on there as well, as 9/10 times when I go to spectate a team, they turn into instant noobs who can't hit a broadside of a barn. Which is very suspicious, considering how good they were doing not even 10 seconds ago.

@Midnight9746 whoa... that's a piece of news if you have proof for that hack (would be great to see that screenshot).Yet I wouldn't be surprised. At this point, it seems to me that Apex was focusing so much on visuals and money-making that there is just no security against hackers, next level - hacklers will be able to unblock themselves if banned :Dp.s. yes, this has happened to me too, I just thought that it is because the team that killed me was killed before I got to spectate mode...yet I am too lazy to watch kill feed thus can't confirm the face.

@Midnight9746 based on this it seems this is not a hack but yet another in game option that is distabled for most and hackers just make this enabled: https://answers.ea.com/t5/General-Feedback/Spectating-eye-ball/td-p/8752880Lol at Apex coding!

Yep happens to me too, it's not coincidence, the players that killed me and then kicked me to spectate other different team, is always the one that has "good" aim. Happens more than 2 times now especially in ne new season, (where more hackers show up). Glad I'm not the only one. * you Apex, your game is trash, can't do * about hacker, running rampage and server also laggy as *
