@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.
