How are people able to hack in 2019?

Just went off against a guy with 2k+ kills. No biggie, nothing unusual with the kills. Lucky me, because I landed one landing zone over from him! The guy wipes out my entire squad (my two random mates were pretty good btw) with wingman from a range that was more superhuman mathematics trajectory than actual aim. I watched the guy and he snapped into walls, followed targets directly through them perfectly on their heads and he KNEW I was watching and didn't care to at least try and make it look like authentic aim. This guy had 2k+ kills. That has to be months of progress or just days given how much he's blatantly hacking.

Honestly, why does this game have less defense than maplestory did in 2005? I would make monsters fly and destroy noobs on their way to their destination and I'd be banned from the first report within 10 minutes. This guy is clearly hacking, doesn't care and he clearly doesn't have any worries about being banned considering he knows I was watching him the entire time. This is so discouraging because I can't tell who is good and who is actually hacking against me.

I really enjoy this game, but I'm going to take a break and hopefully come back to a new hacking detection system or something by then. Please fix it, because this is a great game and I'd hate to see it be plagued by hackers like so many other FPS games were.

Maybe level 100 is a bit exaggerated. I would prefer level 40 or 50 or something similar. That would give time enough to deal with most of the (blatant) cheaters.
As for the paywall, I've seen the opposite effect in Star Wars Battlefront 2015. The price of that game at launch was about 60,- and after a year it dropped to 5,- or something similar. Cheaters became more and more present when below 10,- (and actually still run free through the game...)
Apex being a free battle royale just inherently means that the anti-cheat needs to be very good. I am curious to see what would happen if you ask a small fee for playing, but that is most certainly not going to happen.
Its not just smart defence.
The anti cheat programmers have to find all the ways the different cheating programs work.
Make a defence for all of them.
Because there is not 1 aimbot out there but more like 1000's of different aimbots.
Same with all the other cheating software.
While cheats are using their aimbots right now, The hackers that create the cheats are not stopping and waiting untill the next update before they start making a aimbot.
They are already comming up with new ways and new programs and they will release them the moment their old cheats won't work anymore.
Thats why there are cheaters out there so soon after a update.
Its a never ending fight unless you put all the people in the same room on controlled PC's.
But there are ways to controll the cheater problem in smarter ways then they are doing now.
- You buy the battlepas for season 2, En with that you are allowed to play ranked. ( This stops smurfing and cheating by a lot! )
If you want to keep the game free to play:
- Now that there are ranked plays with higher tiers, They should actively search and keep the higher tiers clean.
Its 100x more frustrating to die to a cheater when playing in a high tier and lose points. Over being in bronze or even non ranked.
It will also take the cheater a long time to get up to the higher ranks again, because everybody starts bronze.
Also higher tier players often are more accurate with the reports.
They know what is humanly possible and what is not.
I think the biggest problem with the reports system now is that most people can't tell the difference between a cheater and a good player.
Unless there is a obvious aimbot ofc.
And those people are reporting. And causing a overflow of work for the people who have to check them out.
