Re: abuse of a glitch for stats

Chatted with him on twitch just now. Saw him use the bug to kill players in a match. He was saying abusing a bug to gain an advantage is not cheating, infact everyone should do it, claiming it is as justifiable as the bhop. Then he went into training mode to show how the bug is done, advocating others to do it aswell.

At one point in the conversation he said everyone not doing it is bad, as it's not giving you the advantage that's already in the game. Lost a few braincells listening to him trying to justify it.

Chaining melee attacks together like that, does what 60-90 dmg per sec? Add the constant knockback, and the ability to keep pushing forward towards the target, is gamebreaking. If its one thing I agree with him on, it's that. But I strongly believe this is a bannable offence.

His thought process on the whole thing is to continue doing the bug, stream it, make others do it, until its fixed. By his logic this would lead to pandemic and Respawn would be forced to fix it. And that he and others are safe doing so, because its not not bannable.

Would love for Respawn to chime in on this. I've never seen this bug outside of a few random funny Apex videos on Youtube. I don't believe this is as widespread as he claims.

    The only difference between it and the bhop in his diffence is it kills people instead of keeping people alive

    also, when i did call him out for it, the dude went onto my twitch channel and started saying how im never gonna make it there, im bad, im just a 12year old kid, that playing on xbox or playing titanfall is just making me a bad person or whatever, started to make fun of me and how im not interactive on a literal 1viewer stream (keep in mind i stream when im bored and not look at it as a job or anything)
    then he went onto apex and said how he'll abuse and i quote ABUSE it on purpose to trigger everyone who says its not okay to use it.

    @Sinister-Cupcake  I stopped dropping hot because of this melee glitch and people shouldn't have to do that because others think using a game breaking glitch is cool. 

  • @Cipax
    is it that widespread? I've never seen this bug outside youtube.
    And you are right in that it shouldn't keep you from dropping in hot zones to avoid being the victim of this exploit. Respawn should fix it asap. Its stupidly OP.

    But joining them in doing it, as he says he wants people to do, only makes the exploit more prevalent, and impacts more players.

    just tweet the link to this thread to apex and hope they see it because it is not okay, this kind of a thing and these type of people is what will slowly kill the game and leave bad reputation on respawn. Help stop the exploit abuse and toxicity

    @CodeKog A few of the devs here had me send a video of it to them in a message, so hopefully something gets done.

  • thank you and thank the devs for it, i hope he himself gets a couple day ban of twitch for being that type of a person, just so he can learn his lesson, and i hope he gets banned for exploiting the bug in actual matches.
