About those legal console cheats...

Can we try to get an official response for that?

You know what im talking about, the hardware for controllers with integrated macros which give an unfair advantage against those who don't buy them, which is a practice similar to the cheats sold on shady looking sites. 

Im seeing them in not only Apex but way to many games, and getting sick of them. There is only one acceptable use for a macro and thats presenting your hot AF voice line mixtape as Bastion in OW, but thats another story.

    @DarthValtrex $$ that's why, you're talking millions of dollars and millions of devices that would suddenly cease to function. Like my Scuff that I only use for extra buttons, but has the capability to use macros.

    Those companies would be quick to roll out work arounds to keep selling their products and honestly I don't think MS wants to spend the manpower to fight that. They're throwing that on the shoulders of each game developer and making it their problem.

    I don't know how well these Scuf and other macro devices work, I'll do some research and watch some agenda based videos and maybe it'll change my mind. I don't want to enable the ones on mine and risk being called a cheat.
  • @DankToliet  I can assure you they work well, I've been on the receiving end of them and it isn't fun lol. 😛

    Before anybody says "how do you know the player wasn't just good" It's as plain as day if you take the time to spectate. 😛

    @MandatoryIDtag You could probably use a scuf controller, it doesn't come with macros.
    I didn't know about this, but I guess you could put macros on it? I don't really know how you'd do that though.
  • @Sir_Named  Macro's are the very thing i'm trying to avoid lol, also trying to avoid buying a new controller.

    I need like a strike pack style thing, but one that just offers paddle function and none of the macro bs.  😛

    @DarthValtrex exactly! Automation = cheating. It is as close to aimbot as you can get on console's considering how strong aim assist is already.
  • @BigBlackCausticI mean I don't really notice them, and I play on console all the time. I just don't care if they use cheats or not, because I'll kill them anyway. Now, I'm not saying that you should cheat or macro, but I'm that confident in my ability to take 1v1's. 2v1's I can handle as well. 3v1's are a struggle, but winnable. We don't wanna get into third parties.

  • All those disputing are likely outing themselves as people who use these cheats  i mean "skills"

  • I've watched some youtube videos about this subject and almost throw up after seeing how easy it is to use these kind of cheats on console!

    I hope that they will do anything against these macro/anti-recoil/rapidfire mod users in the near future as they are ruining the game for every legit player out there!

  • @AceHoodman they most likely won't do anything at all about it.. i honestly think they like having these players in their game, given that i haven't even seen anyone at all address the issue and it's been brought up many many many times. It's basically become accepted and part of the game, at least thats how i feel about it. it's honestly quite sad
