Re: Message for any Players Relying on Aimbot

"it's frustrating because there are so many of them they are also randomly on my team, when this happens I'm often forced to run solo and simply report them. It's an infestation that's ruining the game. I would speculate that it also one of the major causes of all the try-hard camping."

"I for one have a lot more confidence when I recognize the ban wave, time to play! When you have several "hacker shrouds" littered in every game you are forced to play ultra tryhard."

Couldn't have summed it up better, +1 .. it's an interesting journey for sure ... but I believe the potential / quality of this game is simply a stronger force than man's desire to use aimbot in it. Believe me there's a bigger crowd waiting to see what Apex is all about

I am not sure about how many cheaters get banned. I believe some cheaters get banned, but, since cheaters pay a monthly/weekly subscription fee for their cheats they may be notified to stay away from their cheats until they have been adjusted to the new changes.
Generally the ones that get easily banned are the "kids or unaware cheaters" who download free cheats. These cheats are free for a reason, because they are done being useful --at least IMO.

If a person cares about playing well and trying to improve, then cheating is a huge issue. I think that a reason for that being an issue is loss of confidence in one's ability. A player would not be 100% sure that the loss incurred is due to a difference in skills from which a player may learn something, or he lost because the opponent is cheating.

As a consequence, at least in my case, but I believe others as well, I am reluctant to consider educational any feedback based on a doubtful situation --I do not want to get proficient at identifying cheaters, I want to improve at the game. Therefore, cheaters steal from people like me the enjoyment of learning and getting better, leaving players like me to frustration and to play Apex increasingly less.

The anti-cheat is clearly not doing enough in my opinion.

@VdstrkI feel you! I reinstalled the game yesterday as part of some troubleshooting I had been doing to alleviate the horrible netcode this game has and it is odd how SO many people just have crack snap aim without any care of recoil adjustment.

You would think someone cheating would have a reason, I got one win on a hackers team and he failed to give me a reason as to why he was doing it. I wasn't even playing. We were casually talking to begin the match and after he wiped the first squad solo in the speed he did it was clear he was using aimbot.. He then proceeded to leave me and the other squadmate chasing to keep up with him wiping squad after squad on the way to victory. When I point blank asked him why he was doing in a calm manner but he didn't talk the rest of the game after I called it out on him. He sounded like a grown adult to which was sad to me. I usually only envision some pimple faced teen doing this sort of thing.

In any case Netcode and cheaters need something done otherwise this game is just a joke. Time killer and nothing more.

@GRiPSViGiL Sounds like almost every solo match for me. They never have a clue why they're cheating- best I've gotten is, 'cause its fun.' in a non-convincing voice. I cannot believe that for a second.

Ranked players that use cheats that do pretty well against others through abusing their positions, are turning the game into a camp fiesta. Truly starting to feel like when I started with br's like Ring of Elysium and Pub G... that should be a really bad sign for Apex. Good changes have been set in place for us to have fast paced games, but the players' play style changes everything. I think the intensity of the new ring is a great thing and some waiting and pushing is great that comes from it, I can only assume it's mostly cheaters that have been complaining about it.

What isn't ok is when blatant cheaters will literally camp on a roof, wait until he sees you go over to your teammate to revive- THROUGH WALLS, and then rush over to take you both out. I'm sorry, but that's piteous.. this is ok I guess if you're not cheating and I'm fine with chasing you over rooftops if you're not cheating- but you all catch my drift... otherwise I have to run this equation in my head, "is he cheating? does he know my position? oh crap I have to play safe. is his squad cheating? oh crap I have to really play safe." It gets old pretty fast.. fool me once season 1 😪

Let's focus and improve together people, great leaders shine their light even in the darkest places, even if they stand alone, your unpopular opinion resides with many. You don't NEED your cheats at ALL! Using cheats to make people mad or ... get a couple better ranks ... is a REALLY bad reason to use cheats. Get a rank you're happy with using your own skill; you might need to practice in normals for awhile- so what? Make a stand in your discords and try Apex out the way it was meant to be played for good, each time you play it. And remember that we are your friends here, I don't dislike anyone just cause they use cheats, I just hate cheats themselves, big difference.

Maybe we're a bit early but as the Apex community, we can help expedite the process instead of hurt it, move past it already ❤️
