Game is done, cheaters won

Every single match now there's at least a couple, you can't even avoid it...your game is finished, you ban them but they all come back and do it again! For real, they're even in bot royale now... Level 20 players running around hipfire shooting across the map while tap straffing and you want the 2% of people that are left not using cheats to compete with that? Ok respawn...sure

  • Hi there,

    We understand the point being raised here. The concern is not just about reporting individual players, but about how effective enforcement feels when banned accounts are quickly replaced, and the overall experience does not appear to improve.

    We’ll continue to monitor the feedback shared here and ensure those concerns are visible to the anti-cheat team. Anti-cheat is an ongoing effort, and the team continues working on it over time.

    Thanks again to everyone for taking the time to share your perspective and for your understanding.

    He just stated that it dosent matter if they get banned they are back at it in hours. he didnt compain about reporting or specific accounts. He is mentioning that you as a company and game creator are not tweaking your system enough to stop the cheaters from coming back. If a ban isnt a solution it makes the report options just useless.

    I've reported dozens of obvious cheaters in-game and have to date received notifications of maybe 7 bans. I'm guessing there's a token handful of people policing over a hundred thousand online players at any time. This is a cheater's haven, and everyone in the gaming world knows it.

    It doesn't help if the same people create new accounts after a while. 

    I dare say Apex has never had a worse cheating situation since the game's release.

    Yes, I agree. ap-southeast servers are the worst! Can't even have a casual match of trios without low level, or no data accounts, completely stomping you. I've had enough and going to quit playing, and won't be spending any more money on this game.

    Hi there,

    Sorry to hear you’ve been having such a frustrating experience.

    We understand the concern being raised here around cheating and how much it can affect match quality when it feels frequent or obvious. While we’re not able to review individual reports or take action on specific accounts through the forums, reports submitted in-game or through the webform still matter and can help support ongoing enforcement efforts.

    If you encounter suspicious behavior, please continue to report it. We know this is a frustrating topic, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback.

  • You're right, the cheaters are firmly in control as this platform refuses to hardware ban. I've noticed that, often in my own team, I'm playing with under-level-10 players who have high kill rates. And yes, I've reported my own team players when it's obvious they're cheating.  I HATE CHEATERS. I wish EA/Respawn did too.

  • Since the ban wave, many such accounts have also been in Wildcard.

    Ban waves are useless if Respawn doesn't take other effective steps to prevent such people from returning or to make it very difficult for them to return.
