Strike packs need to get disabled/banned.
I almost refuse to mention these but seeing that bigger streamers and youtubers advertise them (you gaming-ruining shills), the strike packs for consoles either needs to be limited by ingame mechanic...

It's a shame in the first place that Sony does allow this kind of cheating...
Imho Strike Pack users with mods enabled (anti recoil, rapid fire, aso.) should be banned from playing Apex Legends!
I would definitely call this cheating and it shouldn't be tolerated by EA! It's crazy enough that some people use apdaters on console to play with mouse and keyboard in certain games but using these kind of mods with the strike pack is like having a cheat programm running on PC.
Still isn't cheating in my book, and PSN/XBL ToS. Is it frowned upon...sure. All you're doing is modifying a physical device you own. Everything consider this is purely an ergonomic upgrade for players.
Rapid Fire: You're still only able to fire at the MAXIMUM rate the game is allowing you to shoot. I could care less what/how anyone is playing on/with as long as there no actual in game manipulation with the programming/connections.
Next we'll be dictating what type of couch or chair you're allowed to sit in while playing.
that might explain how some people fire their p2020 faster than a r99
- @NaRnIaaa I can fire mine as fast as it will allow. But I can type 90-120wpm.. not many can do that.
lol it's not cheating? Because there is a MAXIMUM rate at which the game allows you to fire your weapon? You really can't be this stupid.... Why not just pull the trigger yourself everytime? Is that too hard for you? oh, right, because you want something that will make it easier and shoot as fast as possibly and always be consistent... That is game manipulation my friend, if they wanted the gun to be fully automatic don't you think it would be fully automatic? Because that's exactly what you are doing is turning a semi automatic gun into a fully automatic.. Here's the definition of Fully Auto Vs Semi Auto because you don't seem to know what it is..
An automatic firearm continuously fires rounds as long as the trigger is pressed or held and there is ammunition in the magazine/chamber. In contrast, a semi-automatic firearm fires one round with each individual trigger-pull.So i'd argue making a semi automatic gun into a fully auto gun is actually game manipulation..... and that's without even bringing up anti recoil which elminates 90% of the difficulty of the game.Strike Packs and things like it are literally ruining the game.Are there any bans happening for people using macros/anti recoil/rapidfire mods with their controllers? I mean we all know it's some sort of cheating! Is EA doing anything about it? Imho people which are using this kind of mods/cheats should be punished as they are ruining the game for every legit player out there!
@AceHoodmanI assume that they would. EA has never been hugely vocal about the action they take against cheating. I sort of understand why, but some areas could definitely use some improvement and cracking down on the various content creators who put out content supporting the use of macros, how to's and so on would be really nice.
@AHungryAlpaca Yes the Elite controllers and paddles in themselves are not cheating. That's my understanding at least, I have and use an elite controller. But the macros people run on some of them of the modified controllers are IMO. They automatically counter recoil, will rapid fire semi-auto guns and so on.
@AceHoodman I think the huge increase I've seen it is due to crossplay and Sony. I don't remember seeing nearly as much of it before crossplay. Crossplay drops and literally every round I'm bumping into people running them. I was not making a huge deal about it at first because most were just running rapid fire mods. I could still kill someone running a rapid fire hemlock.
If it's mainly a Sony problem then I have no understanding why people even buy the console.
Yes! Thank you. This is just common sense. The ones arguing this fact, clearly are the ones that use the garbage and depend on it to compete. Why would they want them banned. Just practice in firing range, learn and memorize the spray patterns - get better through hard work and consistent practice. Have some integrity and some honor when you play a game against real opponents. You wanna use that cheating crap, use it all day long in campaign modes and against bots, but how can you feel good about a win against real players when you use a device that allows you to do things others cannot. To yes, manipulate the game. People defending these mac controllers and strike packs just make themselves look stupid. Its no different than someone trying to justify using aimbot, wall hacks and so on. No real difference. Changing the game from the way it was meant to play is still a form of cheating. Period. Grow up, play fair, or don't play.
I think we can see who uses cheats on a strike pack by the comments in this thread. Seriously, if you deny these devices are cheating and don't help people win then you are either the most naive person or you use one. It is that simple.
How can a device (any device) that allows you to add rapid fire faster than the game allows for all users or reduced recoil which changes the recoil pattern design in game to give one an advantage not cheating in your book?
Yes you are modifying a physical device you own.... but your modifying allows to do more than the game was intended to do. Remember it is a BR meant to be a fair competitive online experience across the board.
But then what am I saying....Respawn making Seer just throws that theory of mine clean out the window.
