They have to do something about strike packs

It's ruining the game. Nearly every single round I'm getting eliminated by people with 0 recoil. Either start banning their accounts or just completely remove recoil from the game so that we are all on equal footing.

They can't say it's not a huge issue. You can find endless youtube accounts dedicated to setting up the anti-recoil and aim-assist mods. These accounts on youtube often have tens of thousands of subs. If you go to their discussions their subs boast of how this has finally made them good at the game or thank the channel for helping them set it up. 

The people who create this content often have their gamer tags showing in their videos. You can look them up on apex tracker and find out that they are still playing. You can also go back through their content and see they have been doing this for multiple seasons. Just a mild amount of enforcement effort could have some huge impact. You can then go through the comment sections of their videos and click on the commenters channels and find hundreds of accounts running strike packs. They comment on the video talking about their strike packs, then proceed to load videos to their personal youtube account of them playing, which show their gamer tags.

If they are worried about harming the player population then just suspend the account for a month for the first offense after that perma ban them. At the very least perma ban the people promoting the mods, that's about as egregious as they can get in terms of a TOS violation.

the game is fun for about first 2-3 weeks of each season. My stats then push me up into the lobbies which are loaded with "high skill" gamers, many of which run mods on their controllers. These people miss next to no shots all they have to do is aim and fire without putting any effort into recoil control. That in turn allows them to completely focus on strafing. Mean while I have to control recoil, strafe, aim while dealing with the strafing movement AND take into account their strafing movement. It's exponentially harder for the honest players.

One of these channels has 18.9 thousands subscribers..... How and why?!

  • @DarthValtrex I remember playing with a predator on playstation last season when the sentinel could be spammed fired. He'd be downing players from hundreds of meters away, even with the glitch not many players would have that level of accuracy. And this dude was a predator during the kings canyon split of ranked last season. 

    Also ive never been absolutely lasered, like i have recently, by headpeeks since they added crossplay. 

    We're both headpeeking but you're not missing anything, but when i close the distance all of a sudden you're straight garbo? Huh, weird.

    Also its very apparent whos cheating when they have AMAZING gun skill but ZERO game sense.

  • @DarthValtrex Tbf I've seen the videos you're talking about and I've had strike packs come up as adverts on YT xD Banning accounts that make tutorials and the people commenting would be a much needed leap in the right direction but I'm sure a lot of them would just make smurf accounts.

    @Slender-v1 Too true. You either see them completely melting you or firing a little too fast (which admittedly is a bit dicey with trash servers). Then they play like utter trash whether it's; 0 awareness, game sense or they just don't know how to use their legend at all. Dw tho they all have the 20 kill and 4K damage badges xD

    @Slender-v1 I've gone on some fairly crazy sniping streaks. I've also had friends do it, I have one who's amazing.

    The guys running anti-recoils are fairly obvious.. There is very minimal or no recoil to their guns. You can watch high skill players who just control it well. They still have some recoil, even at long range. They also typically use single fire guns with a rapid fire mod.

    I think what bugs me the most are the channels on various outlets. Those people promoting cheating.. It's really easy to identify them and do a hardware ban. Trust me if their xbox or PS5 gets locked out of Apex..

    @GH0STEDbyME The strike packs in themselves are not the issue it's the mods people put on them. Having some paddles to make other functions like sliding/jumping or healing a little easier is not a huge deal. But when your running software that turns a 99 into a charge rifle there is a major problem.

    @DarthValtrex I know but as soon as you get adverts for them then you've got people searching for them on YT which just promotes the issues you mentioned.
  • Same here, I'm fed up of this thing, now I don't even try too understand anymore, a player kill me without recoil, with * moves or with a wtf tracking/aim assist ? Report.

    I'm gonna drown respaw/EA/Sony/Microsoft, or whoever the * receive those reports, under these spamming.
