Okay, so I've started being active on these forums for only a single day and I can't handle the amount of posts and replies about cheats on PC. This needs to be understood, there aren't as many cheat...

Thank you for this. I made a post exactly like this when I first came to the forums. You're as right now as I was then.
355 000 players were banned in march at the time there was 50 million players, that means on february 29th at the very least there was 0,71% cheaters in game. That is one cheater for every 2-3 games.
Basically the facts does not align with your opinion, so maybe you should stop presenting your opinion as a fact. 😉

The ban hammer is an undeniable fact that happened. Nobody made their opinion feel like they were facts though. As described in the many posts of this discussion, some players experience a lot more cheats ingame than others. It's all a matter of perspective.

I wonder what will be the numbers at the end of april!

How often do you personaly feel like you play with or against cheaters and what are the obvious signs that confirms your point of view?
Also, could you please provide us with the server you play on?

I play in Europe on PC. Here's the thing the speed hackers and the blatant aimbots does not make up the whole cheater population, infact i think you'll find they are a very small minority. The ones that use ESP hacks, triggerbots or aimlocks that look like flick aim are the ones that are abundant. You cannot tell if these people are cheating even if you watch them on twitch.

So the only thing you have to go by is blatant cheaters, i am talking speedhacks and pixel perfect aimbots. Despite what most console users say I have not seen many of those in other PC games and i have played in the same region on the same plaform for 20 years in all that time i have seen maybe 10-15 speedhackers and for some reason 7 of them have been in Apex Legends. In Overwatch a game i have thousands and thousands of hours on I have seen one aimbotter and zero speedhacks. In Battlefield 3, 4 and 5 combined i have seen two or three blatant aimbots and no speed hackers.

The only thing I have to go by is the blatant cheaters, i have to assume for every blatant cheater there is a certain amount of non blatant ones and if i go by that equation apex legends have more cheaters then any other game i have played except maybe APB.
