Hey all, in the blog post last week, I mentioned we’d have an update on anti-cheat for Apex on PC. We’ve got some updated stats and some interesting tidbits on things we’re doing.   We’ve been wo...

    Hey all, please do not share links to any cheats you may see as doing so is technically a breach of the AHQ User Rules and Guidelines.

    From here on out, any sharing of videos or naming of users and accusing them of cheating or linking to cheating sites will result in bans.

    If you are in game and suspect a user of cheating then please report them by following the steps in this link: https://www.easy.ac/en-us/support/apexlegends/contact/report/

    We take all reports very seriously and will fully investigate.

    Darko

I haven't finished reading but only here,

" We have blocked over 300K account creations "

To me, there is like those crazy IDs with cheating club titles followed by 8 RANDOM ODD NUMBERS are much less than before, because it used to be, you know, 300K of them on Taiwan servers, now there are definitely not as much as 300K. Just kidding, I think those old familiar spammer IDs are a lot less but I think, it is still, very essential to have a report system for spammers during the legend select phase.

I see almost none of this particular hacker nickname "ach**ng12345678." A month ago there were quite a lot of this ach**ng12345678 guy. These last couple of weeks I only saw 1 ach**ng.

Also the hacking is spreading to other countries as well not just from China. EA / Respawn might claim that they ban cheater / hacker over the past few weeks but the number is not reduced,  it is still the same, more than 1 hacker in every match.

  • Total affected matches on PC impacted by cheaters or spammers has been reduced by over half in the last month due to recent effort

Yes, spammer is almost gone completely, good job I guess?

But hackers are still going strong, their number is still the same, more than 1 hacker in every match, so it's not reduced at least not in asian servers.

    Its end of june i personaly havnt seen any improvement. wallhaks and aimbots win everyday. You cant spectate everyone and even when u die and mate will run away you dont have possibilty to spectate and report. By the next month they will be only hacking teams and Apex gonna change a name for Apex Hacking legends Wars.

    Waste of time really playing this game .

    I think main fault was give the game for free.

    Bans please stop, there is so many tutorials how to get back to the game.

      update, update, update

      meetings, meetings, meetings

      implementing new ideas

      can't tell ya any info

      working behind the scenes

      and yet there are no bans, are there, is there a list of those being banned to be ridiculed

      we all know you can't afford to kick people out of your dwindling game

      and you certainly can't put a boom-stick on your love of your lives the pro streamers, can you say macros and glitches, they stream about them

      bottom line over 67 games since 1990 and EVERY developer says the same thing, we take cheating seriously, we will ban for cheats and or using glitches

      VAC doesn't work, Battleeye does not work, easy cheat is just that...easy to cheat

      So please stop with the in game reporting as it is a fail as always

      threaten those who care with being banned if they post a video and or call out a name, can you say protect the cheaters?????

      shame really, you pulled a faction of the PUBG group, you pulled a large group from the BR4 groups, and several other areas

      but it all goes to waste as new games come out and the rep becomes that of a full on hackers paradise 

      if you reply, no double take please, how about a little transparency like everyone in the country is calling for, just be honest and either you can't or won't fix the cheaters/hackers

      In asia servers there are so many hackers that it seems like 30 players out of 60 are hackers in every game.I know its exaggerate but i want to say like this.Stupid Dev <stupid Anti-Cheat this Respawn company is corrupt and support Hackers.And this is not the only issue.Second biggest issue is server lagg.If hackers are hitting this game from one side and otherside servers lagg,input delay tik rate hitting this game very badly.

         ...what company would ever support hackers...? c'mon buddy....Give your head a shake and think about it! I do agree, and know, that  It's true about the ratio of legit to cheat on the AS servers. Gotta give a game time to work out the kinks. Although, it's a co. that's has numerous games, so it shouldn't even be happening...but it is...whacky right?
