Cheating on Console

Does EA / Respawn or the community’s recognise that there is an actual problem?!

Rapid Fire and Anti Recoil GPC scripts is a real thing that I think is prevalent in the game. Hop ups like the Anvil Hop-Up plays into the cheats hands. For us normal players we have to go to single fire. For the cheats, they go to single fire, activate rapid fire and have a twice as powerful gun. Hence a lot of the rapid fire from the G7.

Yes. There are good and great players that play the game. When you watch the Apex PC Tournaments you see how great the best are. Speed of thought, brilliant use of ultimates, great blending of character abilities.

That is not what I see with these guys. Stand in the open and shoot because the gun they have is going to shred. Not good movement or play. Great aim? Some are. But when I have been lazered and I check my death recap and it is body shots.

Dying is part of the game. You enter the arena, all things being fair with a 5% chance of winning (one squad out of twenty). So if you want to be average, you need to win 5% of your games, that is 5 in 100. So dying happens. But you get the feeling, a rhythm. Like on PC, you know when you have been dropped too quickly because the guy fired a wingman / G7 like it was a R99.

I play with players and hear the clacking of a keyboard....Urgh! K & M should not be allowed on console.

I was killed by one guy that I did not hear running around. I then watched this guy run at other teams who were oblivious to him. Running full tilt, not one player turned to engage. I watched it for two teams....Is there now a sound hack?!

I think, as a player that has played the game for a long time, spent money....Has a positive K/D Overall and for Seasons 2 and 3 and Ranked 1 and 2. I consider myself to be competent. Average. I want to know that someone is working on this problem, that as a customer my experience is being considered.

SWBF1 had issues with players using scripts. SWBF2 the issue does not feel so prominent. Apex, there are players level 10 with the 20 kill badge. Level 10. So are these the greatest players no one knows about? How long did it take Dr Disrespect, Viss, Shroud, etc?

Can EA detect or even monitors cheating on console? Rather than ban the free account Sony should ban the PSN account!

Sorry for the negativity, I love the game, enjoy playing. S3 feels like some issues have got worse. What’s everyone else’s thoughts??

@SquishyVaderthe crappy guns firing at rates they should not be is bs, Not to mention a 2 shot peacekeeper DEAD with purple shields is STUPID, This has been done to me to me more than once...Hackers should be taken to court and punished, they ruin the game for legit players, because they suck. the Alternator needs a fire rate buff imo. Some iron sites could use some help, This is a good game but hackers bugs scripts etc need to be taken care of, or I will not be back after next season.

Some of the iron sights are appalling, but so is the muzzle flare. But I don’t think they will be improving it anytime soon.
I feel the ultimates for Bangalore and Gibraltar are week and need looking at.

@SquishyVader of all the accused of using M&K on console. Probably less than 1% actually are.

Are there people put there cheating on console: possibly.

Emulators however aren't one of them, as they stay within the restrictions that the controller its plugged into. There are people streaming multiple games as we speak, who have been and always will be. They have never been banned or never will.

"But one person got temporarily suspended on fortnite" I watch m&k streamers EVERY night. And guess what.....they still lose matches every night!

The only thing I can say about the rapid fire. Is that their is / was a bug when using the Hemlock in captial city where the gun goes off as rapid fire. I play on a regular ps4 controller and this has happened to me that my Hemlock sounded like a fully auto but I had to burst fire it in game it was the weirest thing I did report the bug after my game.
Now I'm not discrediting that people on console arn't running around with a modded controller / scripts because I've seen a G7 at fully auto mowing down teams.
Your not the only one that has experienced this or seen it happen.

@SquishyVader These "hackers" may be playing with mouse and keyboard on the console to create an unfair advantage? There are such adapters for the Playstation and should be banned in my opinion.

No, it's shocking, but many players play online shooters with the sound of their 2bit television speakers instead of headphones.

This is gonna depend a bit by region, time of day and rank. But in EU at Diamond and above it seems a majority of people I spoke to say they use mouse.

This! There have been countless times where I've heard this and called them out. Only for things to go silent and them not talking anymore. GG's.

@SquishyVader Anti-recoil is in every single match on PS4 without fail, easily and unmistakably spotted via spectating. Strike Packs are flying off the shelves in all countries, as are Apex Legends anti-recoil mods for them. It is a cancer and needs to be addressed.

@littlxr With strike packs and evil controllers out there, m&k on console is the lesser evil.

Not every person who's been using a controller their entire life, picks up a m&k and becomes better. I promise you they probably get worse. Because muscle memory and sheer experience is a thing.

Now anyone's who's been using a controller their entire life that picks up a strike pack/evil controller/etc modded controller will 100% gain the advantage with their anti recoil scripts/rapid fire/insta bhop.

M&K emulators are one step away from the Xbox Adaptive Controller. You don't have to be handicapped to use one, and there are tens of thousands third party devices you can hook up to that thing.

I literally couldn't care less if my opponents or team mates are M&K users. They're still having to play the same game and need to up their aim to counteract the lack of aim assist.
The anti recoil mods however are literally just a two's up to any honest FPS player. I really don't see how anybody can get any pleasure out of a match knowing full well they're having to manipulate the game to play it.
