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 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.

    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.

  • @HenkivexxYes, they "outplay" me and every other player who's seen them xD You're brilliant how I didn't think of that...

    Edit: Sorry there are no cheats in apex legends.

    Obivously they exist in a free game but the way you're saying it it's like there's some in at least every other match.

    Which i find hard to believe.

    No one is denying that there are cheaters. But the point is that its far from as many as people choose to believe, and I say choose because thats what it is. Telling yourself that the reason why you die is because everyone else is cheating is based on the same mechanisms that fat people use "genetics" as the reason why they cant loose weight =). Thing is that you can almost count on your two hands the number of cheaters clips caught on famous streamers streams. And they play this game almost 16 hours a day! Just think about that. If the number of cheaters really is even remotely close to what you guys are suggesting, then these streamers would catch so many of them on their streams, yet you only find a handful of them if you look at all streamers streams combined.

    It's better to claim there are no cheaters than actually doing something to prevent cheating... i get it.. no worries.. and yes by "no cheaters" I mean what you're trying to explain "there are far fewer cheaters than you think". No, there are far more cheaters than YOU think. But I'm done arguing with simps. This forum is for barking and nothing else. It's not worth the time and energy of responding to you (pick blind or dumb) people like you.

    Bye everyone it was NOT nice knowing you... except for some individuals that were actually honest. (not talking about the simps)

  • @Griminvain 


    Seems like you are the one barking the most here. You are the only one here who are restorting to personal attacks here, calling people simps, blind and dumb because they dont share your "truth" about cheaters in every lobby. But good riddance if you cant accept that people disagree on forums.

    Nobody uses aim bot anymore. When I say aim bot I mean true aim bot where it snaps target. This hack has been faded out almost completely with the only ppl using it, want you to see that they are using it because it gets them off (trolls etc). The reason this true aim bot hack is barely used is because of the ability to detect it clearly by watching. 

    This hack has been replaced by "soft" aim bot, which is pretty much undetectable. Although there are ppl out there that are as good as the soft aim hack works - which is safer and allows user to not worry about being banned. Nobody is going to be banned for having amazing aim, especially when no illegal hardware is being detected. Dev's don't guess when banning someone. 

    So when your are insta-killed by a pred or master - makes sense, their aim is more than likely just that good. However, if a level 50 etc insta-kills you without missing a shot from distance, than you are either dealing with a smurf account or well - you figure it out. 

    Their is an industry now for selling hacks almost as big as the gaming industry itself. Check some of the sites and factual information on the number of times specific companies have sold out of these types of hacks/hardware and the time frame in which it has happen. Mind blowing. 

    But heh, I'm sure the majority of ppl today in this day in age would rather be amazing in the competitive FPS multiplayer gaming industry on the legit end than the one that makes them feel bad about themselves.....oh wait!

    Alright everyone, I'm closing this thread as it's run its course and is just descending into name calling and the like.

    If you suspect someone of cheating, please report them in-game as we're not able to do anything with reports here on the forums, and they'll likely be removed if you call someone out as that goes against our name & shame rule here on the forums..
