ive played a lot of apex since it was released I am yet to see and cheating or hacks
"very soon" was regarding an update on the Battle Pass rather than the actual Battle Pass launch, but knowing Respawn like to drop bombs unexpectedly, these two events might be separated by a few hours. An optimistic guess would be that they'll give an update sometime this week (Thur/Fri) and launch either on Fri to capture weekend peak numbers or Tue next week. Don't want to speculate conservatively as I really don't want it to be on the last week of March. Honestly I think they will avoid last week as that's kind of poopy - if you say March and launch on the last day of the month, it doesn't look good does it?
Regarding cheating, I too have not encountered it much (but I have definitely seen at least 2-3 guaranteed cheaters) - I think it's worse in Asian regions. But I do agree that they have to fix that before competitive matchmaking arrives, and ideally before Battle Pass as that can definitely boost sales. Maybe this is why it's taking them so long.
Quick note on cheating though - some people actually might call cheating based merely on their subjective opinion or a lucky shot, or just because they're angry they messed up. Yesterday I had a mad game, first time I've killed 3 squads of 3 people in one drawn-out fight on my own, racking 16 kill total win. People started to spectate and as I continue to improve, I worry that reports might come flying. That's why I think more needs to be done than the report functionality - at least give priority prime servers for paying members or those verified via a mobile phone. Much less likelihood of cheating, and more time could be spent reviewing reports rather than auto-banning to keep up with the number of reports.

That puts it toe to toe with The Division 2’s launch, mind. After EA screwed Respawn over the launches for Titanfall 1&2 I doubt Respawn will do it to themselves by choice if they can possibly avoid it...
It is definitely worst in asia you can clearly see speedhacks and aim hacks. Youll just melt with an r99 150 meters away with all headshots. And even speedhacks. You can shoot them close range but they just move too damn fast. Im not buying this battlepass until it gets fix.
Honestly im now trying to evade playing the game rn. Asia server is just unplayable tbh
Ikr, Im starting to get sick of it. Now whenever I see a squad drop from the ship moving at mach 10, can stir and is 100% not decoy (We had one game where there were 3 squads who dropped this way). I just straight quit the match. Im sorry to the randoms that was squaded up with me, but Im not gonna waste my time just to get shredded by headshots.
And this spam bots are getting worse. If they do not fix this very soon this week me and my friends might quit cuz this has been going on for weeks now here in Asia.
Decommission ASIA and block any access from playing on other regions. Modern problems call for modern solutions 😎
