LAG HACK
So, there's a lag hack now in full swing. Several games I tried recently, this is the case. If you see an enemy and face off with them, the internet slows, they glitch out, you're dead. Every time. S...
I know this, experience it A LOT !
In Apex, when face to face, the server knows both of your ping delay and try to get you in the "same pace" to the slowest connection.
So if you're faster connection, enemy slower, the server will slow you down, you will get slow (sluggish/lagging) experience.
If you're slower connection, enemy faster, the server will slow enemy down, you will see no delay and get easier kill while he's struggling with lag.
Dev consider this as "fairness" feature so people can fight with same time frame.
It's give benefit to slower connection since his experience stay the same while faster got sluggish experience.
The key is top right RED icons (network and speed), observe if it's blinking when you're in the fight.
It's def a problem. Has nothing to do with my machine as I have a very high end gaming PC and fast internet. Again. No issues in other games.
I have seen and do know that some guys tweak their internet to purposely be at the slowest speed possible for this very reason. It quite clear to me that that's what's going on here.
Every other hack is being used in this game and I think this one is to blame as well.
