@_EXCALI13URN_ What made the person a cheater? Did you manage to get a clip of this at all?
If you suspect someone is cheating, its always good to report that player and then if you can get some footage it makes your case even stronger.
There is no room for cheaters in this game at all!

@rockyboy1998 Good ideas but EA doesn't care. The game is still profitable with cheaters so why bother banning them?

@PraetorOfOlea Cheaters are banned all the time. I've personally seen hundreds if not thousands of bans, and Hideouts recently said that he has banned around 17k.

Nobody is pretending there's no cheating in the game, but it's not right to say that we don't take any action or that we don't care.- @EA_David i`m catching you for the second time on this topic. How is banning someone on a free game actually do anything? He is back in the next 5 minutes on a new acc.
There is thousands of forums and youtube channel/videos with cheating, and nothing is really done for this.
And don't get me wrong, its not just Apex, its on any fps game, and its getting worst and worst, thats why Devs need to take way more action, and actually start pursuing the company/Devs that make the cheat. At the end of the day they are altering your game, breaking rules, as well as squeezing money out of your product, so lawsuit shouldn`t be that hard.
If all Devs start doing this, the cheater population will be exterminated.
Just hit 2-3 cheat company/Devs and most of them will stop doing what they are doing.@LordloshBang Well what do you suggest that hasn't already been thought of lol? Any form of secondary authentication to "prevent" multiple accounts being created can be bypassed.
Adding a price tag to the game would cause a huge amount of controversy at this point, plus respawn would have to rethink their whole business model so that's not a viable option.
Literally all they can do is fight against the tide. Even filing lawsuits against cheat sellers wouldn't work as others would spring up to take their place.
It's literally a no win situation. If the issue was so easily solved it would have been by now.
- @EA_David You know, I love that you reply sometimes, I think its great for the community. However, I often find myself trying to understand why you reply to specific posts - yet fall silent on many others. Your need to defend is a given, as well as when receiving praise. But I am not sure if you realize how it looks when replies are absent, pending the question send your way.
Your words would hold more meaning if they fell into place at all times...not just when you are ready to rebuttal, prove a point, defend and so on.
Just an observation. Food for thought, or what have you.
- @PraetorOfOlea EA absolutely cares about cheaters and the game is certainly less profitable if cheaters are not taken care of. And as David has said, EA takes cheaters very seriously and they keep on banning thousands of them which I truly appreciate as I've yet to see a single cheater in season 9 (unlike season 8 where it was an absolute hack-fest).
Please don't spread the idea around that "EA doesn't care about cheaters". It's a very difficult never-ending battle and in fact Apex Legends is actually doing well IMO as I came from CSGO which is a very old game with a promised grand plan against hackers that ultimately failed and is what's dooming the game right now.
OP's idea to add a kill-cam in Arenas is good, however. I think every player should see their kill-cam at the end of the round. This would make every report in the Arenas more significant as players would be less likely to throw reports just from the slightest of suspicions.
