Once again, I meet lvl 7, 12 and 15 in the lobby - all three of them cheat and use wallhacks. You definitely updated your anti-cheat, 100%, I already believe you. 🙂
Of course, I report these players, but it doesn't help. Maybe you can ban them after a month and he will create another account.
@Miss_Apex_B4_s20 Actual cheats are not easy to detect. Lets get that info out the way. No game and I mean no game at all can prevent cheaters. Nor has a game ever accomplished it.
I think you may be mistaken on what is going on here. This new update is for software/hardware not allowed to be used. Such as Xims, Cronus, Crosshair X, and many more other programs that offer cheat abilities. Aka cheat ability would be bypassing a games mechanic to remove recoil and or add aim assist to mouse and key.
The detection systems are always out for actual cheaters but cheat creators are very smart and do find ways around current blockings. This was to help with third party devices.- @E9ine_AC Thank you, this is good to know. They are definitely moving in the right direction. While things may not be perfect overnight, I have a feeling they will keep getting better starting with this. They have identified the problem and are taking action. Also good they are keeping the exact mechanics of this confidential so it will be harder for the makers of these cheats to make adjustments.
@E9ine_AC For 22 seasons, 1/3 of the cheaters have been running in the game, but now there are much more of them. In fact, for 5 years now nothing can be done about it.
- @Miss_Apex_B4_s20 No one is forcing you to play. If you feel cheaters are not being dealt with or a horrible job is being done there are other games out there that may fit your expectations. Overall a giant potion of the apex population was extremely glad to see this. I am sorry it struck you so negatively that the company is actually taking actions against 3rd party devices and such.
