I'll post this everyday
So I've made a huge post awhile back which seems to be buried about a way to help prevent hackers/new players from ruining ranked matches, went and got approval from mods and all please check it out ...

@jumanjaydazed There are flat-earthers on here though who literally post that they laugh about people not believing in hacks for console.
There are hacks on Console. Type it into youtube. I forgot what it is called but there are some videos. I play on PC though so I do not know how it is on console. I assume it is less on console. But yea IDK. But, they do exist.
But, yea that is actually the point though. All you have to do is google it or go on youtube to find hacks. If EA would just hotfix the ones that are easy to get to it would probably knock the numbers of hackers down a great deal. All they would have to do is google it like everyone else. Download it on the company PCs and look at the code they use.
- @ProfSquash Thing is man - I've played PC for decades and I know what a game feels like when hackers are present and out of control. You see people who move like they've got no hands to use controls, but with their stumps they're making shots that would make the best e-sports pros jump for joy.
If there are hacks on console : they're simply not a problem, because I've not met anyone yet who is as hard to beat as a hacker in an FPS on PC.
I can get down with the idea that people have somehow made their own hacks, but the idea that there's widely distributed hacks for console is absolute rubbish. Anyone being sold an aimbot etc for console is being scammed, and they're not likely to go to reddit afterwards and say "I just paid 70 dollars and got laughed at when I didn't get anything for it".- @Anlbrd Well.....Yea I do not play on PS4 I hate playing first person shooters with a controller. On PC I am almost certain there is a lot of hacking. Because, I have run tests to see how accurately I can keep cross hairs on a target and I can tell you it is no where near as good as A LOT of the people I spectate in APEX. Perfect example was last night I was trying to do a quest on APEX. I needed 3 headshots with a sniper rifle. So, the last run of the night I got into a snipe off. I had a scout with a sniper scope. I was zoomed in 8x. The highest zoom in the game( as far as I am aware) and I was putting my crosshairs slightly above the persons head to compensate for drop and I still wasn't popping heads. But, the people I was shooting at were hitting me left and right. Which, makes me assume hacks. Because I was scoped in and they were still fairly small in the scope and somehow they were 10 times more accurate then me....please. I do not buy that crap.
But, if you ever watch Youtube. watch Staycation he does everything on PS4 and he is a hacker. I have watched a number of his videos and at first I thought he was a really good player. Then I started noticing moments that were impossible for him to use "motion prediction" unless he is a deity of some kind. I mean I have seen him auto target people in obscure non visible locations. Shroud is another one I have watched on Youtube and he is hacking too. I can tag a few of his videos if you like and document moments that are impossible with out hacks. If those two pop in here to defend themselves I would need to reformat their entire computer and install the game myself and the only thing they would be allowed to do is change settings in APEX legends in order for me to believe that they are not hacking.- @ProfSquash You know though that this isn't actually true don't you :S You see that?
Shroud is a competition player. He plays on computers that aren't his and does exactly the same as he does on his home PC. That was how he paid his bills.
I don't know Staycation but if he's on PS4, the odds are very, very, VERY low that he's hacking. It would mean that he's either created his own hacks or paid someone to hack for him privately. It's far and away more likely that he is just a really good player.
My point is this : if anyone on console is hacking, then they have created or paid someone to create 1-off hacks. This in and of itself means that has so negligible an impact on the game at large that it isn't even worth worrying about. Because of the financial risk (a bricked console) - it isn't even a GROWING problem as far as anyone can tell.
Even if a very small minority of people are cheating on console : they're obviously not unbeatable as we aren't seeing ANYONE play well enough that they're never getting beaten. The overall impact of this tiny % of possible hackers is absolutely ZERO unless you're deliberately getting into their games somehow and subjecting yourself to a repeated beating.
