Cheaters in ranked ... its getting ugly!
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...

@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.
- @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.@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.
- @thc_Lt_Bacon You said the cheat makers are quite good. But so should the programmers and security experts. They both get paid quite good to stop cyber crime. In fact, the programmers should be better than the cheat makers, they ( including me ) do this for a living and have backing degrees.
The average developer is not thinking about how to implement anti-cheat in his code. It's not his job. That's why it's so easy to cheat, man. They've punted to Easy Anti-Cheat ("hey, they're the pros!") which is checking for standard things ("Is Process Monitor running?") not anything special for AL. It's why with EAC it's still infested with cheaters.
