Re: Has Apex Legends cheating problem been addressed?

I took a very long break from the game due to cheaters absolutely infesting games.

Has there been any significant progress at curtailing cheating? Or are cheaters still running rampant in Apex?

Few mechanical cheaters on PC these days, console is still full of XIM and strikepacks, some on PC but nothing like before (and a bunch of bug exploiters ofc as usual). Aimbot is very seldom these days compared to before, I think I meet aimbots every 10-20 games max maybe even less then that. BUT the smurf situation is worse then ever, game is almost unplayable if you try play ranked and try take it slow, perhaps have a break in the middle of the season, when you come mid 2nd split gold and platinum is just infested by smurfs sweating their arses off. (yes smurfing is cheating and a reportable offence but I dont think they do anything with it so we end up with a game not working for the masses.)

In general if you keep your stats down and dont sweat to hard youll stay out of the smurfs way and can have a lot of fun but if you try be good, you gona have a bad time in general I think still (btw solo and not teaming will give you a different exp though, but then youll meet the hot drop crew that everyone is complaining about hehe).

@Zkepz , you're right. It's not as bad as the first few seasons. But I see players using aimbots in nearly half my games, some aren't nearly as blatant as others. Some actually try to hide it. But it is running rampant right now, and the reason I took two months off from the game and will not spend any more money on it. Arguably the best FPS being ruined by cheats. SMH.
