There has to be some kind of exploit/cheat to see where people are
I'm going to provide the full story just because I feel like it.
I started playing Apex Legends today with a goofy mindset. All I wanted to do was to use fuse, find a purple backpack and stack up on all kinds of grenades. I know, it's silly and it was more so meant as a few joke rounds to have some fun. besides, it WAS fun watching people freak out as you barrage them with Thermite grenades. Even scored some kills when I got my hands on the Kraber because I'm good with snipers and stuff.
Fast forward a few minutes of grenade search and eventually I found myself at Skyhook. No one seemed to be there, and the third ring was closing in - it was directly on top of Skyhook. So I chose the smallest, most unobvious house of them all and hid inside there. Only 3 teams remaining consisting of me and two enemy teams, presumably all 3 being full squad. I heard one squad having a combat inside the tunnel between Skyhook and the train station. I haven't seen the other squad.
I thought to myself... "You know what? I'm going to attempt to win with only grenades" - So I continued to hide. Ring 4 countdown was starting and I heard some distant footsteps. Which was great because that could mean a fight is going to happen soon. Just to note it beforehand, whenever I hide inside buildings, I try my best to stay away from any door or any window to not be seen. Otherwise hiding wouldn't make sense. And I assume when I don't see enemies, they cannot see me either.
The footsteps were coming closer, stopped for a moment, then resumed.
They came into my building. I was panicking a little, not just because they chose one of the 7 buildings that were "inside" the ring, the exact building that I was in, but the one the next ring wasn't going to be on top of all the way. This is where the weird things happened. They came upstairs, I was behind a corner so they literally could only seen me with Bloodhound. All I saw next were two people shooting at me directly with their weapons. I didn't even have the chance to process what just happened, I was just dead.
And when I think back, that's how I (and my team) died a lot of times. With people knowing exactly where you are despite you not physically seeing them.
So here is the thing. If there is really an exploit or a cheat that allows you to see people through walls or see their location at all times, I feel like a ton of deaths could be avoided if it was removed/made impossible. Because not just does it seem to be undetectable, but in a lot of cases too subtle.
Has anyone made similar experiences?
