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.

Super strafe speed and anti recoil mods are so common now that I find myself raging instead of enjoying the game. I would say 1 of 3 games has someone using one. Most of the time their level is less than 50 but there's quite a few seasoned players exploiting the modded controllers.

Please everyone learn to recognise the signs of people using them and report them accordingly, ea and respawn pls keep working on getting them out of the game and maybe consider a hardware warning like other multiplayer games have been doing.

I love this game so much but I'm reaching a tipping point, I just want good fair matches where I'm beaten by pure skill and not trash players using scripts

    @MissTawnieeee @hayhor the above and the cz mentioned in the heading is the cheating I was referring to, jic there's mixed messages about legit extra paddles or buttons.

    I'm not sure I can cope with any extra buttons that I cannot see 😃

    @hbuttersmgee Exactly. This is like telling someone they shouldn't buy a different golf club or baseball bat because you can't (or won't) yourself.

    When push comes to shove, it's still a tool to give you an advantage.  There's just different levels of "help" that people legitimize because it doesn't seem AS wrong as others...but at the end of the day you're still buying things to make you play better/easier. 🤷‍♀️

    Wish they could detect these things to make fair lobbies -- you buy things to play better, you go against others who buy things to play better.  You play standard, you go against other standard players.  Pipe dream, especially since devs have no concern about the integrity of the game.

  • The best way to help Respawn/EA ban cheaters is to spectate the suspected player until you can record them with the suspicious activity and or record your previous game play at the time they killed you.

    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!

    I know the devs are aware of this problem because the survey they sent to email list members had two questions about cheating on it.  One you had to rank on like a scale of 5 how bad you feel the cheating problem in apex is, and I think another question was yes or no and said "do you feel you often die to cheaters when you play apex legends?"  So, maybe they are in the process of coming up with a solution,  they definitely asked about it in the survey so they do know it's becoming a big problem. 

    They listened about the battle pass issue, so maybe they will do the same with this.

    I have definitely seen lots of cheating this week, especially in the big tdm ltm.  Fortnite was able to threaten to sue the company that made these boxes to get their game free of the cheats, maybe apex should do this too.

    Felt that! Yeah, I've been thinking along those lines also just put all similar players with the extra gadgets in the same lobby let original players play. lol Same for cheaters make a Cheat Code lobby.
