death threat, can people see my ip

Hi all,

To put it simply guy said hes got my ip and im dead.

Can people really see my ip on apex legends?

  • @NeonDrongo I doubt it, but I would definitely report the person. If you have not reported the players please do so at the link below. https://help.ea.com/en-us/help/faq/report-players-for-cheating-abuse-and-harassment/

    Your IP address is not easily accessible and it's not something he would have access to or could view from the game/your profile. That's communication between your console/PC and the EA servers. He would essentially have to hack into the EA servers to gain access to that kind of information. I would not worry about it much.

    If you're on PC I would set up the two-factor authentication. Basically it just secures your account, on the off chance he is some type of hacker and tries to access your account. You can set up Two-factor authentication at this link

    But I would not worry about it much. I had someone give me an earful tonight. The best thing you can do when people get angry, is ignore them and walk away. You don't want to fuel the fire no matter what they say. If they get really out of line just report it and let the TOS deal with it.

    Absolutely nothing to worry about. Even if it was your ip address there's nothing they can do. Your ip address changes all the time and even your ISP doesn't keep a record of the address assigned to you at any given time.

    I you are still worried reboot your router which should assign a new address to it. I got threatened once on Apex by some kid claiming he was going to close my account as he had my ip address. I just laughed.

  • It all depends on if you play on console or pc really.

    It's incredibly easy to get it on xbox/playstation users if you're willing to pay $10 a month. 

    I don't know about PC though

    Hey there, @YWOLF2004 

    Thanks for the response, but we don't allow "necro-posting" on Answers HQ. This is when you respond to very outdated threads. I'll now be locking this to avoid further response.
