Have you noticed the cheaters on console? Cronus zen etc..

With mixtape ltms always rotating now it has become so painfully obvious how many people are using strike packs, Cronus zen etc in console lobbies. It's becoming unbearable to play against them. Sup...

@hbuttersmgee How do we learn the signs of cheaters? I can’t tell the diff between genuine aimbots and those who cheat. I look at any video of any great, famous player, and it looks they are cheating to me, in that they never miss, they have no recoil, etc.. There should be a server (non EA) where we can upload vids where others can decide if there’s cheating.

    @Frosty20203Not as easy as many believe it to be, even when you scan input of people etc. Something like macros are quite hard to detect. Adminbans are quite rare because there is a high risk of false bans. It’s not enough to suspect someone of cheating, you have to be 100% certain. Every false ban looks very bad for a company

      Just a little while ago I’m sure someone killed me from behind a bolder. I died instantly from two bursts of an R45 and I had no notice or indication of being attacked. I had been waiting silently there for about a minute waiting for a teammate, who also got killed immediately. I think it was cheating.

    @Frosty20203 a lot of the time, it's when they are a super low level, I think a sign apex has been banning some using the mods. I only play on console, so it's easier for me to see the signs as controllers are usually a lot slower in strafing. One obvious sign for me is when they're standing still hipfiring but then as soon as they ads they start super speed strafing with very robotic left and rights, there's no variance in their steps. If I'm suspicious of someone, I check them out on apex tracker, a lot of the time you can see players reaching gold every season and suddenly hitting masters or Pred. Sometimes it's the guns that give it away, the havoc is a really difficult gun to control on console, if they're lasering me from 50-100m away with a havoc that's a big red flag

      @hbuttersmgee that wouldn't be a very rapud up down left right movement, that appears to take very little damage when fired upon from not too far away with an r99 or a spitfire in deathmatch, would it? Course I'm insta dead.

        @OldTreeCreeper it's really depends on what they have programmed, for me it's the perfect consistency of it that gives it away, some people are just crazy good, but they are reactive to what's happening in front of them and their strafe shape isn't dead same each time you meet them. If I suspect someone I'll hunt them down a few times just to be sure. It's really hard to judge if they have anti recoil though, unless you're on their team or spectating after death

    Look at there bullets how they move if there not counter strafing or mirror strafing or if there bullets go perfectly straight and don't kick up but the gun it's self does and there still struggling to hit shots also their reticle placement shows a lot to because since season 16 you've had to have better tracking and reticle placement if their not tracking but their guns tracking for yet somehow hitting shots with bad reticle placement cheating. An example is a YouTube streamer by the name.  [Edit]   he blatantly uses either a Chronus or xim to get anti recoil and extra aim assist. On controller

        Hey, Folks

        Need to drop in a line here.

        We all love this game and want it to be fun, fair, and exciting!

        We don't want to play with others who don't play fair, right? 

        When issues with other players pop up, we cannot - I repeat - we cannot call them out in any way on the forums. When this happens, we have to remove it, review what happened, and take action if necessary. 

        Per the (Do's and Don'ts), If you need to report another player, bot, etc., you must do so through the Report a Player options.

        Let's keep things chill so we can continue to discuss the game!

        Cheers!
