Hey there!
Please don't name and shame on the forums.
This is against the AHQ User Rules - Guidelines.
If you suspect someone is using cheat please report him here.
Please note some players have skill and do have really good aim and game sense.

Community ManagerGot to ask? What is the problem with identifying cheaters on forums, not just this one. If someone’s cheating why do companies have a problem with them being called out when evidence of them cheating exists. Just curious of the reason.

Once you ban the account, what stops them from making a new one and coming back? How does reporting help solve the problem? The idea of banning cheaters in a F2P game is just laughable.
I would've paid $60 for Apex Legends, and I believe it should've went at a price so at least if you're banning accounts they have to pay money to get back in.
Paywalls don't help. A lot of people pay for the cheats to begin with, since the best and hardest to detect aimbots are "private" and must be paid for like a Netflix subscription. Also, Overwatch is proof that griefers/cheaters don't care if they get banned, they just buy another account, it doesn't matter if a game is F2P. Counter-Strike has had a hacking problem for 20 years.
There is no fix, you can't stop that industry anymore than you can stop the identity theft industry or the drug industry. All you can do is try to slow it down. It's the sad truth. I do believe EA and Respawn need to aggressively punish cheating with HWID bans and IP bans as often as possible...although both of these can be countered via spoofing programs (which are usually included in the private paid cheats).
One thing they should consider is allowing community-run servers so that we can police our own playgrounds. Imagine if starting your own Apex server was as easy as starting a Discord and you could open it up to your subscribers or friends and when there is an obvious cheater you can just perma ban them instantly from your server.
We need an easy to use, in-game cheat report function. Having to follow links online to do the reporting is a tedious process that a lot of people just won't bother doing, but if you implement it in game, similar to Overwatch, it will be much easier to use.
Me too, i rather buy apex and have less cheaters than free but wallhack and aimbot players everywhere.
If only the company you work for was as zealous about blocking/banning cheats as it is about blocking all discussion about cheats and cheaters. We wouldn't be in this mess right now.
