Bots in pubs?

@HappyHourSumwur Account/cheat sellers do this to level accounts. Report these players please.

@HappyHourSumwur Ran into a lifeline doing this on the opposite team during a Control match. I was happy at first because I was like "I sneaked up behind her and one clipped her!" Then I noticed the same LL behaving weirdly, i.e., just standing still, moving to out-of-the-way corners of buildings, wandering aimlessly around the enemy spawn (I love to harass the enemy spawn on Control) and I figured she was just a bot. So, my self-confidence dropped.

Interestingly, there was always a certain member of our team (with a TTV in the name) nearby when I melted the LL, and he dropped the match soon after, so my tinfoil hat wonders if he was somehow dual-queueing for easy kills. But, what are the chances he would get matched against the LL bot? Doesn't seem likely.

I've run into many bots as well. Not the simplistic loser kind. I'm talking assassins of doom kind. The kind that can hipfire headshot you with a 301 from 300 meters away. The kind that seemingly deals double damage in close range, where you open fire in their back with an L-star and they turn around and waste you, your medic, and your primary attack person all in one magazine of an AR and all of you had at least purple shields.

Anyone else run into those?

Oh, one more thing: Their names are different on different devices.
My brother and I play together and we came across a Wraith who was like this.
Their name: ControllerWithMovement - or something similar.
When they killed us, it showed that on their nameplate in spectating, but on their banner their name was "Wraith####" the 4 numbers being different on my screen than on my brother's.
Anyone else come across those?

@Zulkiers

I've known such players, but happy to say not in a very long time. The name sounds like an xbox live secondary. You can make as many gts on a given account as you want (I think) and games such as Apex will treat each one as a unique player. So if you're insanely good and get tired of sweatty lobbies you just create a new tag on your account and Apex will match you against people who have never played the game before. Classy.

@Zulkiers The Wraith#### tag is a streamer tag you set in game. I have run into murder bots before. No idea if they are actual bots, cheaters, or just insanely good players.

I have also had the "unload a full clip into their back but have them turn & insta kill you" experience too many times.

@Paneross Streamers don't need to buy these accounts. They can be to level 20 in no time. Or they will have one of their mods do it. That's a totally different subject.

@Zulkiers The character names with numbers are people in streamer mode. It hides their name so the lobby doesn't see them and try to find them.
