If Anyone Doubted... THE HACKS ARE IN!
Edited by CM I have played a couple rounds in which my death felt really suspect. Players killing me with multiple headshots from great distances with automatic fire for example. This video confir...

Fam, cheaters been in this game since release week.
That said, I've played ~120h so far and I think I can count on one hand how many times I've encountered someone cheating. I've had more games where I don't even load in with teammates than I've run across players cheating.
I do agree that more steps need to be taken to rid hacks and cheaters from this game, but I also think a fair amount of these people that are screaming on the forums and sub are just getting beat by someone better more often than not.
I hate the "git gud" mentality, but next time you feel like you were cheated take a step back and review what you could have done differently in that fight. (easier said than done, I know...)
- Maybe you could have positioned better?
- Maybe you could have engaged later?
- Were you full health/shield before you engaged?
- Was there a third party throwing damage your way at the same time?
- Maybe you potato'd your aim?
- ...etc
A lot of times there were things that you could have done better. It's quite hard to reflect on a bad encounter. I lose my sh_t and call BS in the moment, but after that kneejerk reaction I realize I did something wrong and try to correct it so I don't get in that situation again.
I generally don't think it's cheaters that are beating me, just better players.

@the_ambieneer I actually completely agree with you. Not sure if you were primarily addressing me or people complaining in general, but my original post was not about my performance in game or my experience with hackers in general.
As I said, I think there has been no cheating in the vast majority of games I have played. I think 99/100 times I lose it is because I didn't play well enough to win. The rest are random extenuating circumstances and possibly cheaters.
Basically, I know cheaters aren't why I lose, I was just posting a video I found insightful and bringing more attention to the issue so EA and Respawn stay on top of it. Unlike other games such as BFV for example. The reason my video link was deleted by a CM was because the name of a hacker was clearly visible in the video and is against the rules.
