Re: Respawn stopping Cheaters/Hackers

It's not true, it's just a rumor. There is no official statement from the devs that they do hardware ban

  • Yes I agree with jaayel, I would like a dev to confirm that they really are doing hardware bans?

  • They are indeed doing hardware ban because i asked a cheater was in my same squad and he said that everytime he create new account by changing the HWID, they still got banned after few matches automatically. But the thing is, he managed can play for FEW MATCHES by cheating! and i remember he was lvl 20+! So yes, the HWID is useless based what you heard. Somehow the cheaters always come back with new ID and trolling us around ingame that the apex legends officially belongs to them. If you dont believe me, you can ask every cheater ingame with politely.

    Exactly. Do not trust people who tell you that you can get away with cheating. You risk losing access to Apex. The person who told you to cheat won't care. 💔

    EAC in fact does do hardware bans which is not related to respawn decision its an automatic response done by EAC servers if you are flagged more than once for hacking. Respawn does hold some power in banning people but EAC does most of the work. 

    I have already browsed through many of the public forums that post these cheats and seen many topics on being hwid banned by EAC and unfortunately how to bypass it.
