Suggestion for dealing with cheaters

So lately cheaters are starting to show in games who rakes about 10+ kills per game. I have witnessed one in-game where someone just used an LMG onme from 100m and not a single bullet missed. If you want to witness one watch "theres already cheaters in apex legends?" by awaeken on youtube.

There were a couple of suggestions commented below that video.

1. Implement hwid bans.

Pros - Will take a lot more effort to get back in the game

* - Can be spoofed

2. Put all cheaters in the same server.

-How this works is that once a cheater is identified. They would automatically be redirected to a server specifically for cheaters only. But there would be no notification on their side making it seem like theyre queueing normally.

Pros

-all cheaters would be seperated from the non cheating player base.

-It would take them some time to realize that they are in the cheaters' only server.

-Even if they realized it and create new accounts. They'll still be redirected to the cheating server after being detected once again. Making a loop therefore making no progress in the game at all.

*

-Cheaters could create new accounts IF they somehow realize that they have been redirected.

If Respawn entertainmet is going to implement suggestion #2. I suggest you make NO announcement about it on the patch notes or anywhere else so that even the cheaters don't know its a thing and increase its effectiveness.

    It may take up a large amount of money to implement suggestion #2 due to the fact that they'll need to create another set of cheaters' server on all regions.

    Remember, keeping the player base happy would mean more profit for them. Imagine if the non cheating players enjoy the game without the cheaters and actually spend some time mastering the game. They're more likely to spend money for skins. Also consider all the cheaters on the cheating servers. Since theyre not banned they would continue to play the game. And more players always mean more potential buyers.

    Every game is full of cheaters its never ending war, i personally haven't met single one in this game and no I'm not denying them, just saying they are not in every single game as some folks describe here.
  • If you guys truly care about your game.. do exactly what fortnite did to stop their hackers.. Not only do they HWID ban. but they went to court and sued the cheater makers.. If you guys truly give a sh!t about the community and want this game to grow even more then it has< I highly recommend you start sueing the people who sell these cheats.. If you start sueing the cheat makers. noone is going to want to start developing cheats..  Theres no doubt Apex rose your guys stock, and increased income..... the least you guys can do is start doing tsomethign towards hackers instead of banning them.. DO you know how easy it is to make an account>? there is no real punishment against hackers.. If you guys want this to be known asa  truly great game, you need to do truly great steps.. YOU need to do this. almsot every game  has at least one hacker... this is ruining your game, and there are so many fixes you can do besides jsut ban someone... suit up and lawyer up... honestly EA needs to do this.

  • when aimbotting is not enough, we have speed hack as well... i'll hav to leave apex for now until these cheating problem is resolved in some way. sorry battle pass, sorry skins and stuffs. nyuh-uh.

    u ask me how to resolve? throwaway this easy anticheat thingy, it is really easy to cheat with it. also if hackers/cheaters who are caught, MAC address ban. they gonna make new account to cheat anyways since apex is free
