Hello,I'am playing for like 2 hours per day and atm the ranked mode is full of cheating people. Not the "maybe he's a cheater" type-of-guy ... the "this must be 90% auto-aim" guy.I recorded some of em with my mobile, cause I am still to lazy to install something to record it on pc ... fraps isnt working 😉But seriously ... There are a lot atm.. Just recorded 3-4 in 2-3 days of playing Apex and as I told you ... auto-aim and its really visible. These guys are shooting through trees or smoke and so on.Its absolutly visible that they are cheating hardcore. I am starting to wonder, if they still do something against it - cause it's freaking obvious and these guys are still playing.

@thc_Lt_Bacon you dont get it, if you are predator, master, diamond 1-2, you fight against cheaters like 60-70% of the games (in europe), not like 1 every 100 games. And those cheaters don't even try to hide it, "doubt good players" xD.They move like BOTS, play octane all day, use charged rifle spitfire and such, and kill you from 15kms, it takes 5 seconds of their POV to see the * aim moving like a * fidget spinner on people head.Also, most of these people using hacks do it 1) boosting someone else in the party to predator for money. 2) raising the account to a certain point and selling it, so banning them has no effect. thye have to improve the detection and ban people on the fly like Steam, completely unplayable.

Nope ...First of all ... Iam 38 and Iam playing shooters for my whole life. Also played as a pro in Cod MW and Battlefield for like 10 years (for Team Dignitas for example in european tournaments). So you know whats "possible" and what is not. And Iam not talking about the guys who got lucky once or did a lucky shot.When I got lasered or downed by an incredible sniper shot I watch these guys the rest of the round - not just for 1 minute.So often its like you said - guys where lucky or had some good shots and when you watch them you can see them missing shots and stuff like that. So I dont report.But these guys I saw the last week are cheating 1000%. They "lock" on enemy targets without missing a single shot, shooting someone through the leafs of a tree and a smoke and then shooting a guy straight out of a respawnship and right after killing his teammate getting up the balloon, following them behind walls and so on - IN on ROUND. Iam talking about clearly visible hacks and aim-lock - not about "hmmm maybe he's a hacker". Oh and btw. no recoil with a prowler has nothing to do with luck too ... it's called no recoil.The Gibraltar I got killed 4 days ago ... his aimbot gone crazy and his target swapped from one guy to another and he even shot against walls cause one enemy was still behind it.So these guys Iam talking about are 1000% cheating and thats what really scares me.And btw. ALL of these guys had 10+ kills at the end with 3-5 assists. This is a random game where you can get sandwhiched, killed cause you got no gun, killed cause you had a bad armor against lvl 3 or golden armor or killed out of no where by ppl hiding and so on. You play against "similar skilled opponents" (like its written when you start a ranked). There are so many random aspects in this game which you can't controll if you don't have a wallhack or an aim-lock ... so normaly it should be ultra rare to see ppl with 10 kills and higher ... escpecially cause you got teammates doing kills too. But for that ... I see a lot of these guys.As I said - recorded it with my mobile - if you could upload the vids everyone could see it. But its not allowed.Thats exactly what scares me and what makes the game unplayable atm. (for me ... just playing ranked). When you see ppl cheating like that - ranked on diamond or master class doesnt make sense any more - cause every round counts and yesterday I played 3 games - the last game I got one with aim-lock again ... clearly visible ... that sucks.

When I wrote they are shooting through trees ... I meant they are shooting through leafs or through a bush. You can't see the enemy but he's shooting and you only can see the damage numbers appearing.

I made a post yesterday here cause at master 10 games lost 7 times by a cheater deleted immediately xD.Today played 6 games, lost every time by a cheater,lv25 platinum 4 with 0 mechanical skills and clear aimbot, they even tbag you, uninstalled, it's unplayable. and respawn doesn't give a *.

Worst part is even if you record video and report cheater, it takes many days for them to even review your report (EAC 3+ days). It's ridiculous... It should take hours, not days and definitely not 7+ days. In 7+ days one cheater can ruin game for so many players.By the way, is there someone who received response from EAC? or Origin support?

Cheaters in ranked ... its getting ugly!

The only way to stop cheaters are, to catch and ban them at first place, which will mean that their system has to detect the hacks the moment they either open Origin or Apex.
For that they need a serious security system that literally detect anything and ban the ip + hardware, but the real one if they use a virtual tools trying to cover it.
And when they get bans for 6 months or a year they will learn it.

Haven't seen ppl cheating like that (full aim-lock and no-recoil) in cs:go for about 5000 hours.
Btw. fraps has been detected instandly 🥳 - wanted to record stuff and had it installed - was thrown out of the game directly.
I also seen the bloodhound lasering ppl jumping out of the dropship or getting up da balloon - he killed the one jump down the ship and instantly locked the one on the balloon and killed him too.
If ppl cheating like that it should alrdy be noticed by the anti-cheat itself and checked right after by a coworker. This guys should be banned after 2-3 days and not playing the whole season, ruining it for everyone else.

I don't even think they ban a lot of ppl ...
And btw. I don't think they still put cheaters in a special lobby ... cause they need everyone to fill the queue so games can start properly.
At the end cheaters are paying customers and ea is a corporation seeling stocks ... so.
It's like in real life I guess ... if you commit crimes and you are clever enough not be cought and even clever enough not to overact - you'll maybe get away with it for a long time.
But atm in Apex it feels like ppl are "robbing banks" without a mask and nobody's doing something and you're not even allowed to blame them by showing clear proofs like videos.

@RaekenTheRock A lot of games are going to have cheaters, Apex is sadly one of those games with a lot of them. It's dumb how someone can rack up so many head shots and high accuracy and the EAC just looks at it like it's some sort of joke and moves on.

As with any free game it's hard to stop cheaters. They can make a new account and move on if banned. The hardest thing for me is thinking that more people cheat than actually do. It makes a lot of us suspect good players who are actually legit. I just try to play, have fun, and move on if I run into one. I'll report when necessary, but I honestly don't think it does anything. The report feature in game is probably designed to make us feel better about dealing with a cheater. I suspect nothing ever happens beyond that. With how many reports they get there's no way that it can work. I even reported a guy for a racist rants in chat. Even with screen shots of the nastiness submitted in game and through origin the guy was never banned or punished. I ran into him a few days later and he did it again. So moral of the story: We will run into these types of people and we just have to deal with it and move on. EA and Respawn are well aware of the issue and they are continuing to address it the best they can. It's not easy for them to do with millions playing the game. The cheat makers are quite good and they make a ton of money doing so. Cheater are here to stay, at least in the foreseeable future.

They move like BOTS, play octane all day, use charged rifle spitfire and such, and kill you from 15kms, it takes 5 seconds of their POV to see the * aim moving like a * fidget spinner on people head.
Also, most of these people using hacks do it 1) boosting someone else in the party to predator for money. 2) raising the account to a certain point and selling it, so banning them has no effect. thye have to improve the detection and ban people on the fly like Steam, completely unplayable.

@TommiSpagetiThanks bud, you are most likely right. I don't get it because I'm a casual player. I don't play in Diamond, Master, Predator or high level lobby's. I'm not good enough to see the widespread cheating that you elite players see in high level competitive play. I'm also playing on U.S. servers so I can't compare it to the European experience. Like I said before, cheaters will cheat and there's nothing we can do about it.
