I have to admit, you're starting to look like a BOT on the forum, and it's starting to get annoying!
Now I'm not trying to give you a hard time, but if you are not working for EA, then really please knock off all the EA Announcements and how to stop cheaters etc...
Let EA/Respawn do their job, if you're a Forum Member like the rest of us here, then PLEASE start acting like one!
You don't work for EA, your not a MOD, or the Forum Police! So start acting like a member and start talking more like a real person, rather then copying and pasting the same things over.
Yes I believe the Stats EA is showing us on banning cheaters, but has it stopped the cheating problem? NO
So while there's been something done, the issue is really still out of hand!
PEACE
@warslag is definitely not a bot, an EA employee or forum moderator, but an AHQ Champion. Want to learn how to become one? Find out here. It's also against the AHQ Rules & Guidelines to call out both Community Managers and AHQ Champions/Heroes.
The information posted by this Champion is correct and a link was even included to it's source from Respawn.
-
The recently added in-game reporting tool has had a big impact on discovering new cheats, including previously undetectable cheats that are now being found automatically via EAC
-
Total bans are now at 770K players
-
We have blocked over 300K account creations
-
We have banned over 4,000 cheat seller accounts (spammers) in the last 20 days
-
Total affected matches on PC impacted by cheaters or spammers has been reduced by over half in the last month due to recent efforts

Respawn has been stepping up their efforts to improve anti-cheating efforts.
"We take cheating in Apex incredibly serious and have a large amount of resources tackling it from a variety of angles. It is a constant war with the cheat makers that we will continue to fight." - Respawn
The Community Managers on the Apex Legends boards have been forwarding your sentiment around this to Respawn weekly. While a lot of you are frequent visitors and might find @warslag's response "robotic" because you've seen the many discussions about this around here, there are still a lot of new players that visit these boards weekly that have never seen this information. Thus, it's helpful and encouraging that action is being done.
We know coming across hackers/cheaters in games can be irritating, I've personally dealt with them my whole life in all sorts of games. We have changes coming and your patience will pay off in the end, so we thank you for sticking with us.
Lastly, if you are in game and suspect a user of cheating then please report them by following the steps in this link: https://www.easy.ac/en-us/support/apexlegends/contact/report/ (Reporting accounts not only flags them, but helps improve detection for the anti-cheat tools)
Good luck in the ring.
