Re: Has Apex Legends cheating problem been addressed?

Hi @StarvingVirtues Are team is constantly working on making the game a better experience for everyone. While changes have been made with the game if you come across anyone who may be breaking our rules be sure to report them for the proper team to investigate.

  • Has the cheating problem been addressed in Apex? in a word no,will it be addressed? I seriously doubt it.And as long as the reporting system continues to be as bad as it is now nothing will really change.I'm primarily PS5 player & whenever I have encountered blatant cheating with players on the Playstation instead of reporting them on Apex's rather non-existent report system instead I get bypassed to the PS report system & the rigmarole that entails which believe me is an absolute waste of time.

    With season 11 only days way will anything be fixed regarding cheating or for that matter match-making (which is still a joke) or servers?I won't be holding my breath I'm afraid.

    @EA_Illium How?  I'm on PS4 and it's virtually impossible to do this in any sort of easy fashoin.

    I've reported a team mate (as it's easier to shop your team mates and this was was like level 20 and absolutely destroying everything we encountered - sure he was on my team but this type of thing ruins it for everyone) for smurfing once that's it.

    It's called a Cronus Zen, or other devices similar in nature. Allows people to plug into their console with modded scripts to eliminate gun recoil and aim bot are the two I'm aware of. I bet there's a script for vision on enemy locations/health/armor/ect. too but I'm not entirely sure.

    It's entirely possible to cheat on consoles so anyone who says otherwise is objectively wrong. There's an entire business market revolving around video game cheating and hacks, and they make millions off providing either a monthly subscription for a program, or physical device that I saw GameStop selling for $50. Used to respect GameStop but no legit gamer true to the spirit of sportsmanship would ever facilitate online PvP multiplayer cheating, I got no problem with people using cheats in single player modes or co-op campaigns and modes like that but to have an unfair advantage over players who are oblivious to the fact they are fighting a team that's getting help with their weapon recoil, aim, or constant info on all enemies in the match is just sleazy.

    They are always the ones who talk the most trash as well Ive noticed. First ones to call their teammates or your team trash with zero provocation, and even blame their poor performance on others. It's always someone else's fault, and never in a million years result of their decisions they made because in their head nothing they ever do is wrong. Narcissistic tendencies are a signifier that they would have no problem engaging in cheating being their conscience isn't bothered at all because they justify it to themselves with some logic that they deserve it somehow. Or they cognitively deny the fact they are cheating to themselves to the extent they actually truly believe it. Ive witnessed people in my life deny actions they took, or conversations we had previously like it never happened. Which is a form of gaslighting, so it's extremely useful to have the knowledge to pick up on people that engage in these types of behavior so you can better understand people you encounter and deal with on a day to day basis, even outside of online and in person.

  • Just got to the game and the cheats are not fun killing the game ,just google apex cheat or use even YouTube it's so not unfair aimbot ,wallhacks sometimes I get killed and I don't even know how look what cheats offers  ,I don't want use cheat and I don't want play a game with alot of cheaters especially ps and Xbox players ..I love the game I don't want quit it back, cheaters are slowly killing the mood of playing apex I already regrets buying bundles cause it seems useless to stay in a gam with th anti cheat system that doesn't work

    Well said! You addressed everything so perfectly! The future of this world looks so bleak when players are teabagging and so proud of winning when they have been cheating….it’s scary….

    and a special shout out to all you cheaters who use wallhacks and no recoil as Bangalore and play in arenas and smoke out…new special pathetic that it!

  • I'm so curious about why people use hack so they can feel good or feel that they're good player, when they're actually just trash. I'm not gonna play saint, I admit I tried hack too, but it was very long time ago, COD4 era (2008). I was curious and never heard of this aimbot and when I was killed by one hacker, I searched for it and used it, not gonna lie, it was fun, but it was also very pointless. Why bother play when all you have to do is press a button with your eyes closed? I don't get why people who used hack never come to this realization. So after like few hours using the hack, not even a full day, I quit, and went back to legit gameplay and never had to use any hack again ever. I can't wait to uninstall this game when splatoon 3 comes out, I don't have to worry about hacker so much in splatoon 3.

    I played today October 16 2022 and more then half of the games had multiple cheaters pre firing and wall tracing , low to zero recoil.   The problem is the hackers get banned and make new accounts then join the lower level ranked .  SO if your gold - diamond as a above advantage player you are screwed ! 

     Unless you guys do hardware banning NOTHING will save this game . You allow these trash humans to create new accounts 2 seconds after they get banned

    I'm moving to greener pastors until the problems fixed
