This game has too many hacker. A hundred percent chance someone/a team is hacking in Gun Run. One in every three ranked games feels like you're going against Vitaliy on Nuke. Pls fix, I know you know how many hackers are infiltrating your game. Not to mention Arenas, holy smack -- they are literally infested with horrible cheaters. I don't mind that they cheat though, it's like someone gave a bot sentience, and they spend the rest of their lives trying to kill themselves. again, pls fix.

@1unown1 Apex doesn't have a kill cam for a few reasons, and I believe those reasons are that it can't easily handle it and that what the player is doing and what we see them do don't always line up properly, so there's a chance it be misinterpreted for cheating.

@Exprress it's 10/16/22 for the past 3 days every single game I have had people cheating . I went from gold 1 to gold 2 almost back to gold 3 . I deleted Apex EA isnt doing enough and the game is unplayable.

Since my last message was marked as accepted, I didn't want to edit it, so posting again. Another problem besides cheaters is the number of smurphs in the game.There also used to been one type of smurph. which was low leveled accounts, (usually with the 20 kill, 4k damage badges). Now there's a second type which is higher leveled players who skip rank seasons so they'll end up in Rookie IV for future seasons. These players are technically smurphing as they're dropping themselves into lower leveled lobbies. Its the equivalent of throwing attacks in Clash of Clans and leaving your Town Hall out in the open for attackers. The game (Apex) is literally allowing players to ruin the matchmaking and it needs to honestly stop.

@reconzero I play on PC, some of the cheaters are console players brought in by PC players, (since console players cannot matchmake with PC players without having a PC player on their team). Some of these "cheaters", I can admit are just better players. Players who are smurphing, thus their low stats and skills make them look like cheaters.However, there's still a large amount of actual cheaters. There are pro players who run an Apex stat tracker overlay thing that tells them who's in their match, and they just see a bunch of low leveled rookies in their pred rank lobby.On a scale from 1 to Warzone, Apex is more or less sitting at a 4 or 5. We have a cheating problem, but it can definitely be worse.

Almost every game i meet people with wallhacks and its very easy to figure it out if you spectate them. They always know where their enemies are even when they have noone in their team that can recon. Try for a few games to get some good loot and go hide somewhere , anywhere you want - the chances to be found from teams without recon are extremely high. Aimbot i think i ve seen only twice so im not talking about that.A last point to make , after every patch (cheats need reworking after patch) whenever i play i feel like playing against bots . The usual rushing teams dissapear and you only find teams that secure and defend locations . I played 12 hours after patch and i found none that i could consider is cheating. Fast forward a day and the lobbies where full with the same wallhacking teams.I usually spectate the people that kill me and report if needed but i dont think anything is happening against them.

@Daubi2011 Keep in mind that you've most likely aren't in lobbies that has cheaters due to how matchmaking is currently working, or other reasons such as legitimate players are killing you before a cheater could.

I see cheaters every other game, and every 5 or so games, its the full squad cheating and they all have low leveled account badges or no badges at all with diamond or higher ranked badges.

The game does have itself a cheating problem, it also has itself a smurphing problem, so some of the "cheaters" could just be high leveled preds on new accounts.

@Exprress I always wonder if that's why there isn't a kill cam. You actually have to watch someone to know if they're cheating. In cod you can usually tell from the kill cam

@kegskong Idk what servers your on but I play like 12 hours a day right now due to an injury and I'll run into maybe 1 person walling a day. I having been aim botted in ages. Don't think I ran into one cheater on my journey thru gold and I would like to blame my losses in plat on cheaters but they usually are just a lot better than me

I'm honestly a little bit shocked with how you guys are encountering cheaters so often, I might have only encountered a single cheater in my entire time of playing Apex.
Not saying that there isn't an issue, though if there is this much of a gigantic divide between users that do see them often and those that barely see them... well, it just seems weird.

@XHelperZ

I wish that posters would identify what platform they play on when they make these kinds of accusations. I'd lay odds that 50% of the time they got bested by a better player, but the other 50% of the time they probably got cheated, and they probably play on PC, the cheaters' platform of choice. On xbox I sometimes see things that I don't really believe, but it isn't that often, and it usually isn't anything that can't be explained by a bad network connection.
