Re: Hacking in Apex worse than PUBG

Don't worry to much just yet, the game features the same anticheat thats used in Fortnite and other battle royale games so they have a proven anticheat. Usually a new game has no cheaters at launch, a cheater epidemic a few days in as all the hacks come out and a ban wave a bit later once most people started using secretly detected hacks.

Currently its the honey pot phase so you will see that many cheaters are lured to use hacks that are already detected but not getting banned and then sooner or later the banwave comes.

  • Every minute It Isn't addressed Everyone profiting eats *. Don't make it sound like EA is planning even a ban wave. EA and Respawn haven't said anything on the subject. And because of it the players they were so happy to gain during release are leaving.

    I never said anything about either EA or Respawn.

    I am mentioning this is how there existing anti-cheat that is already in the game behaves.

    We can study its effects once the first banwaves hit, if the game is then still overrun EA will have a lot of work to do.

    If not, then what they did is sufficient.

    So far i haven't seen people encounter hackers though it doesn't seem to be that wide spread to begin with.

    Hey all, please do not share links to any cheats you may see as doing so is technically a breach of the AHQ User Rules and Guidelines.

    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/

    We take all reports very seriously and will fully investigate.

    There is a difference in believing in someone cheating and people actually cheating. Do you have any proof besides some people saying so? Because I'm sure quite a few of them are people just running into really good players. Happens in almost all competitive shooters.

  • As pissed as I am about the hacking I do agree with this. It seems by the forum threads that they are well aware of the hacking and I suspect they will address it sooner than later.

    Same thing i was going to reply with. How do you even know these people are cheating? I have a feeling this guy is just getting rekt and blaming it on cheats. Just my opinion I have not run into an a single person I suspected of cheating. Especially with the powers of the legends in the game it would be very hard to even tell.
  • Let's use your over-complicated report system. Such a joke. There needs to be a in game report. Then if you get 20-30 reports in a few hours you get ban. But EA does not ban people they are afraid of loosing out of money. Fewer players=less money in their minds. EA does not care out players anymore.

    You do realize that good people automatically get more reports than bad people? So you wanna ban good players? Most people have no idea what game mechanics and high skill make possible in this game.

    Stupid idea.

    I honestly do not believe there are hackers in this game. All of your deaths have a simple explanation. At first I thought I was being bamboozled by someone who I downed, got back up and killed me. That was until I realized there is a legendary knockdown shield that can ress yourself. I'm simply saying, there's an explanation for everything, or just sheer luck.

    I got a win the other day doing this @SilentOsprey. I was down but had the shield so sulked off and quietly revived myself and then killed the other squad who were searching for the other Legend they believed was still alive.

    I think its mostly mouse scripts for no recoil. Harder to detect than an aimbot i guess

    This is an engine based on Source engine, we know how easy it is to hack this engine. There are many clear videos of hackers at this point so maybe you've changed your view since making this post a few weeks ago.

    But yes if there as an in-game report system, people shouldn't be auto-banned for lots of reports in a short period, what we need is a CS:GO style "Overwatch" system where frequently reported players get reviewed by known good players who know what to look for.

    The other thing this game needs is a phone-number linked "Prime" style matchmaking like CSGO has as well, and region restriction.

    The phone number linked matchmaking shouldn't be hard for them to implement at least, I really hope they do.
