Stop screaming about cheater and Give feedback/way how to stop them!

We hate cheaters, it ruins the game, but we're adult, not cry babies, so we should stop screaming & crying about the cheaters and give feedback/way to the developer how to stop them!

I see two major cheats:

1. Movement cheat where player "zip" from one place to another place in an abnormal way.

    This cheat is easy to detect and ban since player coordinate is recorded and reported to the server, so any abnormal zip should be easy to detect and ban. A developer just needs to define what is consider possible movement and what is consider abnormal then give warning/ban whatever consider abnormal.

2. Aimbot cheat where player always hit headshot even on crazy distance or during crazy movement.

    This cheat is a little tricky to detect since we need to distinguish if this's a cheat or really good player.

    Dev can define what is considered "normal" accuracy of a new player (which usually < 60%) or certain distance with certain gun recoil.

For example:

if a new player, who account is brand new, never play apex before, but suddenly able to register 95% accuracy in their first few matches, we can warn/ban them.

If normal accuracy for 500 meters with gun x is around 50%, but this new guy can hit 90%, we can warn/ban them as well.

I open this thread especially to discuss this. Go ahead and show some brains.

  • U win the forums sir!!

    Best idea ever.  identify cheaters and stick them in a purely cheater cue!!

    Would be a new game mode where u are supposed to cheat!!  would be totally fair too!

    I love this idea, they wont make new account until they figure out they been caught!!!

    Yeah, that's a good idea.

    Once the detection software detects them as a cheater, or many users reported them as a cheater, flag them as a cheater and let cheater play against cheaters. I'm sure they will have a good time 🙂

  • "Give Feedback/way how to stop them!"  

    Excuse me!  I have a full-time job.  It's not the player's responsibility to figure out how to stop cheaters.  Why the hell the developers are putting all this effort into a reporting system is beyond me.  It's obvious it does not work.   I played for eight hours yesterday and there where cheaters every game and occasionally I got one of the a$*Hats on my team.  So easy to see there esp cheat when they're grouped with you.  They often try to leave the group so you don't notice there odd standing around behavior before running directly to out of sight, no noise, enemies.  Today I reported two people and each won the game for there team, we took second.  Impossible shots that downed us in seconds and we where full geared and playing well.  I'm sick of this attitude that it's somehow our responsibility to report cheating and somehow that's the solution.  I'm not sure why Respawn can't stop the cheating, it's out of hand right now.  I suspect it has to do with the free to play.  In a standard game, you would have to find a workaround after getting caught AND repurchase the game.  In Apex it's simply finding the workarounds.  When you don't hit there pocketbook they will not care.  Time to sue the cheat developers and create China-specific servers, we don't need them in ours.  Real solutions, not this crap half baked report system they tossed us.  

  • I just found a PC hacker and he shares his cheating in youtube and free download for his hacker software.

    Basically how it works:

    1. He injects his code into the game, like a virus  using like .exe/.bat file. That means he has access to source code and knows exactly what to change.

    2. He opens a hacker menu where he can control setting for :

               a. Wallhack for a player: Highlight them behind object, select color, show distance, show health, etc. Basically, like having bloodhound ultimate forever plus more information.

               b. Wallhack for items: He can see all items so he can quickly grab great items without need to loot everywhere. He can select radius of the items and show distance of the item.

               c. Aimbot: He can select how smooth his aimbot moves to avoid * movement that easy to observe. But since he already has wallhack, he knows exactly where the head is and with just little aimbot help, he can land headshot all the time.

    No wonder so easy to get killed by this hacker. 

    One way to block wallhack is to make it impossible to show enemy location/highlight unless bloodhoud ultimate enabler.

    But if the source code is exposed, he can enable it again. 

    So the key is to make sure the source code is intact:

    The player can only play if the source code is original/intact/not compromised.

    Hey all, please do not share links to any cheats you may see as doing so is technically a breach of the AHQ User Rules and Guidelines.

    From here on out, any sharing of videos or naming of users and accusing them of cheating or linking to cheating sites will result in bans.

    If you are in game and suspect a user of cheating then please report them by following the steps in this link: https://www.easy.ac/en-us/support/apexlegends/contact/report/

    We take all reports very seriously and will fully investigate.
