The cheating epidemic is way more worse than you'd think

Literally out of 10 people that would kill me, 5 or 6 of them are hacking whether its smurfing, Aimbot, Wallhacks or aim modifications. I get matched with at least 10 hacker in just 1-2 hours session. Just yesterday I was playing wildcard on console and this Axle literally just peaked me from a distance, Turned directly to my position and had 4-5 headshots on me and knocked me down in less than 1 second. I noticed that it is way worse in mixtape but that is perhaps because the number of players are small and I could easily identify the cheater. I have run into countless smurfs and aim mods in mixtape alone. The moment the mixtape match starts and someone who is level 6 pulled a crazy play on me that not even a lvl 500 could pull, I know exactly whos team is gonna win. Are we just going to ignore this?

  • I agree and the devs know it, despite their ridiculous claims that the number of cheaters are in single digits.

    Again the devs dgaf all smoke and mirrors 

  • I have came to realize something as disturbing it is as true, Whats happening is basically the same thing for cod and its player base, When the majority of players are hacking, You dont just pull off the plug and shut it down even when you can, Simply because that would mean a huge loss of income. Most of these hackers spend a lot and sadly they are the reason this game is still alive and funded. Either that or the IT members at EA dont know how to get their sh** together lmao

  • In duos, the same person cheats practically every day on new accounts. It's like Titan. They can't hardware ban him, or they don't want to.

    And a broken MMR in pubs forces you to constantly play with the "elite" cheaters, because matchmaking takes an exceptionally long time to get the same unemployed cheaters into your lobby.

    Yes, the situation is critical.

    This is absolutely true. AE/Respawn have hardware banned some top-level serial cheaters, but to do that across the board would drop thousands from the online numbers permanently, something they cannot afford to do after this purchase where employees are doing everything in their power to keep their jobs.
