Healthbars now make cheating way more obvious

About half the players in some matches have hacks installed and the new healthbars prove it.  You shoot at them and get hundreds of damage, but the bar doesn't drop at all, or maybe drops just a tiny bit.  When you watch the kill cam in mixtape just 1 or 2 shots depletes ALL of your healthbar at once. 

Either some players come into games with more health or this is blatant hacking.  Either way we now have proof of advantage players infiltrating the game on a large scale.

I would like to start filming my play so I can prove this now that healthbars have been added.  The same guns do much different damage for different players.

The devs need to address this issue right away because I know many people from my friends list that left the game over this problem, so it's that serious.

All players should do the same amount of depletion to these new healthbars with the same guns.  The first kill in gun runs makes this even more obvious since advantage players usually get a fast 2 shot kill with a gun like the Nemesis, where it takes me two whole clips to down a player with the same gun, yet the numbers show the same damage above the head.

    This sounds more like a latency / no-reg situation at first glance, but if you do start recording and come up with any clips showing this happening, please do share!

    That'd give us a lot more to go on and pass along, thanks!

  • @AymCTLThat sounds more like a server/issue on your end.

    Cheats that Alter information sent to or received by the server are extremely rare and extremely expensive. Definetly nothing that would be used on a wide scale. it’s quite easy to detect because servers have logs.

    how about respawn and ea fix the servers and actually make the game playable instead of pushing out new skins and events. The new map is *.

    @BallisticMVP I agree with you that this is possibly a server issue, but with it being exclusively on my end I find hard to believe. I play sometimes with a girl that plays on both PS5 and Switch that is having the same problem even without me in the game, my brother has the problem, and my friends list has lost many who told me they were leaving because they were getting knocked instantly yet they did very little damage. Several went to Fortnite and other games over this issue and I couldn't get them to play with me, so I know this is widespread enough for people to quit over. Also, it's not with every player, if this were on my end then every player I encounter would have hits not registering, when I would say there are some fights where this doesn't happen, even within the same game.

    Also, I play other online games, such as Overwatch 2, Star Wars Hunters, and Monster Hunter Rise, and I've never lost a game on those due to issues like this, or had enemies not register hits.

    For it to be only apex that has this issue, and it is so bad that people on multiple platforms are quitting the game, then it seems to be a fixable issue on the game's end. If servers are not communicating correctly with all players, this needs to be investigated before the game loses more players.

    @AymCTL Videos are the only way anyone can help you. As others have said it's likely a connection issue. Apex uses lag compensation so any kind of funky connection will make that worse.

    @EA_Mako Thank you, I am going to try to figure out how to start filming my play now that I have a gaming PC, and I'd like to post some examples of this. Like I said if it isn't hackers, I think it may be some kind of communication problem with the game's servers.

    @OnclePicsmurf This problem has been mentioned on this forum by multiple people, one of which quit publicly on here like two months ago over it. Also, comments on YouTube videos talk about this issue all the time, one guy even posted a video about it where he shoots at a Condiut in the final ring, and hits her at point blank range nearly a dozen times doing no damage. So, it's been an ongoing issue, I'm not making it up.
