Elite controllers are not cheating, they simply allow the person to bind functions to the paddles.
How ever using third party software is viewed as cheating. I have seen substantially more of the rapid fire mods and no recoil. There are players in almost every lobby, but I have faith that it will be addressed. It seems like one specific console has a much higher number of players using it than the other.
I recently got into an argument with an online “friend” who revealed they have been using it for the anti-recoil functions. This is what prompted me to start asking other players at the Diamond/Masters level about strikepack use. I was literally offended at how many have Strikepacks with specific anti-recoil gun mods.
And this makes complete sense. I have pretty good aim on console and some of what I feel (and spectate) just doesn’t make any logical sense. One clipped by a Volt from 300 meters? Wait what?

@Axs5626Sxa5001The last I read from any source that was reliable, the mods are viewed as cheating. You can look at the EA TOS at the link below and it clearly states third party softwares are ban offenses. Macros loaded on a strike pack that rapid fire or remove recoil would be using third party software.
How ever as I said, I don't believe the strike packs themselves are something you would be banned for. It's not the strike pack that's doing the anti-recoil it's a third party software loaded onto the strike pack. I think many of the people who think the anti-recoil macros are okay, have simply confused that Strike packs with no mods are okay but strike packs with third party software are not. That's at least my understanding and that's my opinion.
That is at least my understanding, if I'm wrong perhaps one of the CM could clear it up for us.
I would stay away from using it, some might be getting away with it for now. I'm sure the EA TOS department will investigate it and take appropriate action if needed. Just look at the nearly 500 Diamond-Predator players who won't be able to play all of Season 7...
EA really wants a fun, fair and competitive environment for everyone.

I would agree 1 clipping someone at 300M with a volt is highly suspect. Most players have a difficult time landing shots with a sniper at 300M let alone a Volt.
On the bright side look at how good you are? You can compete with people who have software helping them... Imagine how much you'll shred when they are not in the lobby?!- 5 years ago

Any scripts or macros used to eliminate recoil or change the behaviour of a weapon not meant by the Devs is cheating. They need to drop the ban hammer on these guys. I see them regularly.

- GRiPSViGiL5 years agoSeasoned Ace@Axs5626Sxa5001 LOL people are posers. They wish they were something they aren't. Problem is this participation trophy generation has no moral compass to realize how cheesey it is. They are to dumb to understand that automation is cheating.
However, when the game companies allow it...not much an honest player using their own skills can do about it.- aisthebestletter5 years agoSeasoned Ace@GRiPSViGiL I disagree that it is "this generation". People have been cheating in literally every competition for hundreds of years or more.
- GRiPSViGiL5 years agoSeasoned Ace@aisthebestletter While I don't disagree with you there my point was meaning the newer generations of gamers not understanding what should be considered cheating or unacceptable. You are supposed to physically control everything to determine skill no matter if you use K/M or a controller. If game makers are literally allowing automation then how are they supposed to understand the concept?

Strike packs don’t do that. If u got beamed by a volt from that far it’s either a god tier player or a hacker. I’ve seen YouTube videos and they help close and medium range for sure but you still won’t be able to consistently hit the back target in the firing range from the weapons platform, for example
