Does everyone have aimbot or are they just that good?

Like I don't know at this point what to think, I open door, and 90% of my HP disappears, enemy barely gets scratched, enemy runs into me, I shred 60% of their health, they start going around, I do ...

Then there are people like this Selly who have the cam on his hand just to prove he is NOT cheating;

There will be some issues in the near future of PvP gaming as programs like EAC will no longer detect cheaters who are using hardware cheats.  It should prove to be a real challenge to the game developers to come up with a solution.  In the end, the cheater only deprives themselves of an honest victory.

"In the end, the cheater only deprives themselves of an honest victory."

I would have said that there are far too many people out there who either don't care whether their victory is honest, or who have somehow convinced themselves that what they do is legitimate based on any one of a million different rationalizations. The honor system just doesn't cut it anymore. If it ever really did.

In the end, the cheater deprives all of us of confidence in game integrity. Which may not drive me out of the game, but which certainly does make me play in ways that my teammates despise and which is 180 degrees out from how the developer intended the game to be played.

And the video brings two things immediately to mind. First, anyone can cheat on video, even a video that claims to be proving the opposite. Maybe ESPECIALLY on such a video. Second, if it is real, then it's a demonstration of how the developer made a conscious decision to build the game in such a way that it would actively seek out the handful of players with his innate ability... and then guarantee that the rest of us will grind away at a game we can never hope to be good at. Thus we just all sit back and rely on terrible sbmm and even worse cheat detection. Lucky us.

    @reconzero I understand where you are coming from on the spoilsports ruining the fun. Most of them tend to show up at the start of a new opening. I would expect to see a lot more "Banned for No Reason" threads to pop up in here on the 14th for a few weeks. This would mean someone is being diligent at their job. I am not saying false positives can't happen, but they should be very rare. PvP game format will have to evolve into something very different, if we are going to block these cheaters. Who knows what the new format might be, only the future can tell.

      @DeepBeatslet's not pretend the game doesn't have a way of removing recoil without any software or hardware...

        @damsonwhufndthisLike? Aim Assist? Thats software as well just to let you know. The game itself is software.
        I usually complain bout aim assist specially on people playing in pc when they could be using MnK but dont but i use the later and havent tried a controller in Apex.

      This is a future I greatly look forward to. Hope I live that long!
