All day long I see evidence of this. It's subjective but it seems undeniable that the new favorite way to cheat in Apex is to use wall hacks and characters with scout abilities. Heck sometimes they don't even bother hiding it. Cheaters are always 3 steps ahead of you guys. I just watch or experience it. No real way to prove it or much use reporting it, but it happens so often it's hard to believe much else.
@MrPink77777The fact that you could hide just about anywhere, but mainly outside of the ring where no one should really be going, and you almost always hear a team running up to you with a Seer or Bloodhound, because they're wall hacking and are trying to pretend they actually tracked you down normally instead of through walls.
I was hiding behind a bin in the tunnels, (near landslide), and a Seer, Bangalore, Octane team went out of the next's ring and b-lined to where I was. Bangalore acted like a solo and ran through the tunnel first to try and bait me out so the other two could shoot me in the back, since I figured that's what was going on, Bangalore got on the otherside of the tunnel and just waited, while the other two was on the otherside. I got Seer scanned and aimbotted by the Octane, tried to run away, and was shot down by the Bangalore.
Seer was a diamond player in gold lobbies, the other two were smurphs. 10/10 game Respawn/EA!
i have the same problem right now im dont with apex next season is in 2 days if its still the same i wont play it again this is the same reason i uninstalled warzone and never played it again, now apex is taking the same course as warzone, i get killed when i get shot my character its like he is lagging, i will be camping in behind cover then people jumps and prefires my location then i cant even shoot back the enemy never misses there shots this is becoming a movement based game and not shooting skilled base any more and above all the people that are jumping and sliding and doing all kinds of weird movement * in combat there are hackers with aim bots and all kinds of other * i am so tire of this happening i spend a * ton of money in apex legends every season and they cant even keep out tryhard hackers the game is going into a very bad direction and that is not the why i wane play i really love the game but yah if next season is a mess im going to have to give up on the game ever season just got worse and worse after season 9 i have been trying to hold on but yah have a good day who ever reads this
sorry i strongly disagree i can see every match people are hacking from snop aiming to tanking damage there are no way that hackers are being removed they might just ban a account or something i dont know what they are doing but the game is flooded with hackers right now 7/05/2023 i have my vid recordings on youtube where i have purple r99 dont miss a shot close range and then on reload i die by the same enemy that did not go down slowmo i can see all my shots hit that should have been a down no matter what i mean the guy even had a blue shield come on and that is happening more and more every match
I can confirm these types of cheats have to be way above the normal. I’ve had several games where a teammate pings enemy locations 400 yards away on the other side of a map wall. Soon as they take out that squad they move on to the next doing the same thing. Impossible game play and in gold lobbies.
Add a Halo Infinite Recording system to your game and allow people to replay their matches.
Also in doing this, you'd have easy access to seeing hackers and they'd always be recorded, even if the player themself didn't manage to record it.
If hackers don't want to be caught, they'll quit hacking. All it will take is one match, and if it shows evidence of hacking, they are game over, permanently.
They do it in several matches? You've hit the motherlode. They are goners. They will be banned.
But one issue is gonna be getting each player's perspective, especially when they have bad connection or interference. Then the only thing you'll have is server view, and what the server perceives as what they should have seen at that time.
It would probably have to record in the background and upload afterwards, or something.
The last few times I've attempted to stream Apex, the video was unsynced and scrambled. At points even looked like a rainbow. Only my detached voice was where it should have been.
Among other issues, this could solve a lot of hacker issues and provide plentiful evidence against them.
Tracking Invulnerability:
In tandum with the previous thing, if a bunch of players show their view as hitting a specific target, and that target takes no damage, then it's an obvious invulnerability hack.
Such as this one time I came across a Caustic. I pumped 4 Eva 8 shots into him as he turned towards me and 2 more as he fired upon me. Every shot had at least 2 pellets hit, most having 6+ hit. He opened fire upon me with a Havoc and wiped my 200 HP (purple armor) in 0.2 seconds. He evolved to blue by killing me. He was missing maybe 3 shield points, excluding the empty one from evolving. My damage should have dealt over 280 to him, with reduced pellet hits. Visibly he only fired 3 bullets to kill me, but the death recap showed I dealt nothing to him and he pumped me with a lot of rounds from the havoc.
With my view in recorded into the system, he probably would have been banned.
Has he been banned? Maybe, I did report him and put my reasoning in the chat. They do moderate the chat so typing your notes there is a good way to let them know why you did the in-game report.
I've also reported several people I've spectated when I was their bullets arcing.
Here's a better method of bullet tracking...
Server gets locations of people.
Server gets angle, direction, and speed of bullets and draws the path.
If person is in bullet path when bullet reaches them, it's a hit.
If person isn't there, it's a miss, regardless of if someone else's PC says it's supposed to be a hit.
Path tracking, not target tracking.
Only use target tracking if the gun fires missiles, like the Whistler.
So some of this bullet arcing nonsense is from the server itself, because someone else froze packets to shoot people and then released the packets to call hits.
It should instead track path, and because of their frozen packets they end up missing because they shot where the person wasn't any longer.
That's how it should be. More physics, less he-said-she-said between devices.
If you can guess where someone will be, and you fire, and they end up where the bullet hits, then it should be a hit, not a miss. It should also show that to both parties.
Kill Cam, see your death from your opponent's perspective. See their hacks, or the truth of how it works if it wasn't a hack. Maybe rethink your strategy so you can do better next time.
Should be easy to do if the server records everything.
For data storage saving, files can be deleted from the server after a month, though people should be able to download it in that case so they can keep the records of their matches.
Though keeping all of it would ensure you always have the evidence for all the bans you make.
