Spectating Bug or Hack?

    @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 :D

      p.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.
