HOW LONG ARE WE GOING TO TOLERATE CHEATERS IN THIS GAME?!

This is the message to every Respawn developer!

Seriously, how much longer are we supposed to put up with this absolute joke?

How many more matches have to be ruined by people using aimbots, wallhacks, scripts, and whatever other third-party garbage they can get their hands on before something meaningful is done about it?

You spend 15–20 minutes looting, rotating, fighting squads, trying to play smart, and finally make it to the endgame. Then some absolute clown with suspiciously perfect tracking, zero recoil, and apparently supernatural game sense deletes your entire squad in seconds.

And what are you supposed to do? Just queue again? Pretend nothing happened? Lose another match to the same garbage?

THIS IS NOT COMPETITIVE GAMEPLAY. THIS IS A WASTE OF EVERYONE'S TIME.

What makes it even more frustrating is that legitimate players are expected to keep grinding, buying cosmetics, supporting the game, and pretending everything is fine while cheaters continue to destroy the experience.

And please, spare us the usual excuses about anti-cheat improvements and ongoing investigations. Players have heard these promises before. We don't need another carefully worded statement. We need RESULTS.

We need:

  • More aggressive and consistent cheat detection.
  • Faster bans and meaningful consequences.
  • Action against repeat offenders and cheat providers.
  • Better detection of aimbots, wallhacks, recoil scripts, and other exploits.
  • More transparency about how many cheaters are actually being removed.
  • An effective reporting system that doesn't feel like shouting into a black hole.

And before someone comes in with the classic "skill issue" response: No, not every suspicious death is a cheater. Experienced players understand that. But pretending cheating isn't a serious problem doesn't make it disappear.

How long are legitimate players expected to tolerate this?

People play Apex because they enjoy the movement, gunplay, competition, and satisfaction of winning a fair fight. Cheaters undermine every single one of those things.

A competitive game cannot survive on the assumption that legitimate players will simply put up with an unfair playing field forever.

At some point, enough is enough.

FIX THE CHEATING PROBLEM. WE WANT TO PLAY APEX, NOT PLAY AGAINST PEOPLE WHO CAN'T WIN WITHOUT CHEATING.

    Exactly 💯. I have put in hard work and time to play this game. Learned the play at a high tier mechanical lvl to say that someone who has taken the time to learn the game and practice the game and learn the mechanics is delusional in the sense that we can't tell when someone's cheating and when someone's not. Like don't get me wrong. I fought some really good players.. but I've fought less good players over the past several seasons compared to cheaters and it's like it's not hard to tell when somebody's aim is tracking and doing all of the work for them or when someone's just using anti-recoil macros or just full-on scripting and just simply pointing their reticle and shooting like there's a complete difference between someone who actually knows how to play the game and someone who's using hardware and it's not hard to tell. I find it to be incredibly astonishing that there are pro players that can't tell the difference between someone using macros or scripts and someone who's actually good at the game. And then on top of that respawn decided that instead of actually targeting people who are bad actors who are using software like RC filters and jitter scripts and zens instead of actually targeting and banning and hardware banning those players, even the pro players who are using them, they decided that it was going to be a good idea for them to increase the threshold and which micro adjustments activate rotational aim assist. No matter what you do when tracking flicking or switching or even controlling recoil patterns, you are going to be making micro adjustments. So basically rather than actually targeting and preventing cheaters from cheating, they basically just made it 10 times harder for the genuine player base who took the time to learn the game and learn the mechanics, making it 10 times harder for them to play the game. Don't get me wrong. You can still control recoil patterns via micro adjustments. You just better be daggum shore that your reticle placement is on point otherwise you're just not going to hit any shots. 

     

    I am by far a novice in this game. I've played this game since covid. I've played this game since it's been out. I started playing this game after I saw typical gamer play this game. That's how much of an OG I am in this game. I still remember where you could heal faster in Gibby's bubble. I remember when heat shields were a thing. 

     

    And then console is just an absolute infestation. It's every game. Every ranked game, every game mode.
