@BaldWraithSimp no I didn't even think to record it. However, I did report 3 or 4 of the players for "impossible movement" as it was the most fitting of the listed options. I play on PC through Steam and I can press Windows key + G key which brings up Xbox chat bar which has a recording option....would that type of clip suffice?
@ChickenPlucker26Yes absolutely! Any clip would work as long as you record them doing it. Send it to the link mentioned by @pastaclown above from next time
And it doesn't matter if it's pubs or ranked. Justice will be served!!"Justice will be served!!"....I love it, tired of people looking for an easy way out. Here's to keeping games clean, honest and fun!!
Yeah, as long as the teaming is in Ranked Leagues, you will see action taken, since at the moment teaming is not a bannable offence in casuals.
- @CompleatBeet You are actually right. Aimbotting is also allowed in casuals. :D
Hey @ILostT0Loba
Teaming isn't really considered "cheating" unless it's in highly competitive gameplay. Using exploits is a different story of course.

@CompleatBeetI don't speak for EA or their TOS department but it is up to them and I'd imagine it's not just ranked. The TOS is fairly vague and for good reason.
https://help.ea.com/en-us/help/apex-legends/apex-legends/play-by-the-rules-in-apex-legends/ - @CompleatBeet Teaming is considered cheating as it's using means to gain unfair advantage.
'Stat padding (abusing game features the way they aren’t supposed to be used to artificially stack scores).' Scores being kills etc. or even 4k/20 bomb farmers in casuals since boosting is also teaming, while 6v3 is an extreme form of this behavior.
Badge farming is bannable in pubs and so is teaming. @ILostT0Loba It depends on how the teaming is done. If it used for farming then there's an issue, but if it's just enemies working together it's not "cheating" in pubs.
- @CompleatBeet "If it's used for farming then there's an issue, buy if it's JUST enemies working together then it's not cheating"
That's a contradictory statement. Enemies working together to ruin the fun for someone else is far, way way far, worse by than JUST teaming for getting shiny badges as it doesn't affect anyone but you. Your argument doesn't make sense. @ILostT0Loba I agree that teaming for ANY reason is considered cheating as it creates an unfair gameplay advantage to those doing the teaming and the opposite for those on the receiving end. When the teaming happened that I experienced, my nephew told me he saw them do the "international teaming signal"...which at the time I had no clue what that was. Apparently it is standing then crouching repeatedly to communicate to let others know "hey let's do some teaming".

@CompleatBeetRead the TOS link that I provided, exploiting glitches to gain an unfair advantage is considered cheating. It does not matter if it is in ranked or PUBS. The TOS encompasses the entire game not just ranked.
- E9ine_AC5 years agoHero+@CompleatBeet Send your video proof directly to https://twitter.com/RSPN_Hideouts.
If the match is still on going and still quite some time before it finishes be sure to also tell him the game is still going and give list names you suspect cheating. Aka who you died to and such. He recently banned quite bit of diamonds for doing this very thing., - E9ine_AC5 years agoHero+@CompleatBeet It is 100% cheating and 100% bannable offense. What you say is highly false information and as darth says read the TOS.
@E9ine_AC Thanks, I will for sure record the next instance of any issues such as this one. I am disappointed that I failed to think of recording the match even though it lasted 32 minutes on Winter Express game mode. I did however report 3-4 of the players for "impossible movement" as it was the fitting...impossible that the train could be contested and not captured for 32 minutes straight as someone would eventually aggress towards the other to end one team on the train. Also watched from a distance after each of my deaths while these players ran around on the center car without harming each other.
- E9ine_AC5 years agoHero+@ChickenPlucker26 I come across more cheaters in the game mode then I do pubs now. We tallied up one our games. We had a 87% head shot ratio done to us by 1 Bangalore. By round 2 she had nailed 27 head shots on us. Round 3 you can imagine it was higher. But using math we was able to determine head shot to body shot ratio to see ok this is sketch.
Bad thing is you cant spectate in the game mode. Its our word verse theirs. @CompleatBeet If it only applies to Ranked and no other gameplay, then that is a mistake on Devs part, which I hope is not the case. Quickplay and Unranked is where people gain the ability to grow as a player and eventually muster up the skills to play in Ranked. If the proving grounds, beginners modes, arcade modes are all loaded with cheaters or mechanic abusers of any sort then most players will never even try to go to the next game mode. Most players in such an instance will just decide that the game is flawed and uninstall. So let's hope that anti-cheating applies to ALL game modes including arcade and practice modes.
- E9ine_AC5 years agoHero+@ChickenPlucker26 They are wrong dont listen to misinformation. =P
@E9ine_AC From experience, teaming is only taken seriously in Ranked. I have never seen a ban for teaming in casuals.
- E9ine_AC5 years agoHero+@CompleatBeet Because they have not been caught. Let video come out of it of them farming damage/kills for badges. They will meet their fate.
