This Game Has Too Many Cheaters
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...

The first few days of season 16, I didn't feel like anyone was cheating. Smurphing, sure, but not cheating. Now every game is back to rampant cheating, non-stop, 24/7.
The average Apex player's logic:
After one-clipping enemy #1: GET GOOD YOU NOOB AHAHAHAH DELETED I AM THE GREATEST!
After being one-clipped by enemy #1's teammate: APEX IS FULL OF CHEATER!!!!
Yes there are some cheaters but if you honestly think that the majority of your deaths happen because of a cheater, then you are delusional. First thing you have to ask yourself: How good are you at this game? If the answer is around average, i.e you have like 1 "true" KD (without exluding your early quits) or perhaps even worse, then you must be smart enough to also realize that many players in your lobby dont need aim bot cheats to one-clip you or know to exactly where you are without wallhacks. Smurfs and bad matchmaking is the main reason for your bad experience; not cheaters.
@NerfMyAimPlz I don't think you realize what's considered cheating in this game. Yes most of the time we speak of cheaters we mean kids playing with illegal software. But smurfing is ALSO considered cheating in this game 🙂
Also if you think a master is the average player then I would agree with you about the 1 KDR Cuz let me assure you there's not a single gold rank with 1 KDR.... Yet we are talking about all tiers/ranks. Also try to one clip someone with r99 from 250m away... also try to do it with mostly headshots... I mean 9/10 headshots... and then speak about the players and the cheaters. Just because you haven't encounter many... (probably you die before you encounter them or they get killed before that) doesn't mean there are no cheaters. I encounter at least one every 3-4 games sometimes even more often. Also cheaters are not only aimbots... there are so many cheats your head will explode...
Edit: sorry about my grammar and punctuation...
- @Griminvain When we think of cheating, we think aimbot, wall hacks, speed hacks, but there's plenty of other cheats.
Just to name ones I've heard of or seen happen:
1) Soft Aimbot - Where bullets curve to hit targets and is less noticable
2) Strikepacks / Cronus / Xim - Stuff for controller that takes advantage of the aim assist
3) Spectator Viewer - An overlay that adds back the eye counter and even shows who's watching them. Cheaters would use this to know when to toggle off a cheat
4) Forced Spectation - The squad that killed you and your team, isn't the squad you spectate, instead its a team across the map, (This is unconfirmed, as in it could be a bug, but I doubt it)
5) DDOSing - Lagging the server or player's connections to gain an advantage
6) Rate of Fire - Its uncommon, but some cheaters shoot guns faster than they're suppose to, usually LMGs
7) Auto Heal / Revive - Also uncommon, but I have seen teammates regain health/shields without using recovery items, (or Lifeline's drone), and also have seen teammates back in season 2 who were knocked down and self-revived. The kicker was I opened up my inventory, and saw that they had a purple knockdown shield, not a golden one, which was noticed during their revive animation. When asked how they did it, they said "don't worry about it". Actually, that is partly incorrect. The kind of smurfing that Respawn prohibits is if you create new account after account to get into the "new account-lobby" to farm badges. In a tweet, Respawn explicitly stated that its totally OK for a predator skilled player to do a Bronze4-to-master" solo Q run every split on alt accounts.
And no, I didnt say there werent any cheaters and if someone one-clips me with 90% HSes with a R99 at a distance of 250 m, then I would also be sure he was a cheater. But that never happens. But whatever. I do two bronze-to-diamond3solo Q runs and one plat4-to-master grind with my premade squad every split and I see very few cheaters. I wont argue with you if you see cheaters in 1/3 of your matches in your reality. Must be frustrating.
I am the first to admit that you can "feel" that you just died to a cheater, especially in the heat of battle. But what I do is to take a deep breath, calm down and ask myself this very simple question: "Could I have done the exact same thing (i.e beam, series of headshots, pre-fires, out-play etc) that this so called cheater just did to me?" And the answer to that question is yes in 9/10 situations. That doesnt mean its 100% he didnt use cheats but I would just be silly if I claimed that he was.
