A cheater dropped right next to me. There was no armor and weapons on the ground. I was lucky to find meself a auto pistol. Guess what. Dude has level 3 pink armor. It was only less than 5 second for pick a pistol, he already got level 3 pink armor. Very nice game. Everytime when EA gets asked what they did in past years to fight Cheaters. EA says: 'We have banned how many account this season and we will continue to fight cheaters.' Well cheaters have level 3 armor when landed on the ground in a disadvantage because i was landed 1.5 seconds before him.

Consoles serve a purpose for sure. I have one. I don't pretend that it is somehow better than a PC (and that's why I do eyerolls when people yammer on about 'aim assist'...it is nothing compared to PC play). But one thing I don't have to do is worry about keeping my console 'up to spec'. Accepting less good play for less maintenance for me is a worthwhile tradeoff. Most games aren't worth the extra performance anyway, not to me. If I got into PC gaming it would be for a game with monster graphics that was a single player experience. Not to be overclocked SnipurxX01l33T. But that's just me, I understand for others, yes, enhanced shooty is what they like better.

And the first thing the game did was asking me if I wanted frames or graphics, and I was like, okay, let's try, this is what them PC's always rave on about... played for 1 minute, went to options, chose graphics... much better gaming experience.

@GopnikGamburger I had exact same problems when I was playing a PC-version of Apex but never came up to same situation playing on a PS5 with cross-platform turned off and on either.

@AowbaYup. I have to say that xbox is relatively free of that kind of garbage as well. Every time I hear a nightmare cheating story it's from a guy who plays on PC. It continues to astound me how anyone who plays anything on that platform can express surprise that they run into cheaters. And blame the dev. Yes, the dev could do more. But so can the player. Sell your PC and buy a console.

@reconzero Why would a pcplayer want to go back in time and play on a terrible device ?

Yeah, this happens to me quite a bit too. One time a wraith landed right next to me and I had a gun and she didn't have one yet, I emptied a whole clip into her and she one shotted me with her fist. Hahaha
Yeah, sometimes this is a game you just have to play for the pure humor value since there's so many advantage players that winning consistently or always getting kills is impossible.
I've been autokilled so many times now it's ridiculous, you just have to keep dropping again and again until you get a decent lobby with legit players. I have to do like 12 drops in a row sometimes before I get a lobby with players that are there to actually have a gun fight and not just delete you by pressing a button. Good luck 🙂

The difference between a console and a pc fifteen years ago is definitely not the difference between a console and a pc now. And if it was, the answer is simple: cheaters.

I hear ya, PC gaming is an Art, it takes work, you can't just turn on a game and play.

You need to, or you should tweak Windows
Install and adjust video drivers

And the list goes on, but, take it from a gaming geek, and I mean, I've been PC gaming a very long time, if you get into it, then you shouldn't run into problems, or that often. But you also have to build a good gaming PC with good parts.

I built a gaming box last year, Rog Strix B550F-Gaming, Ryzen 5 5600X with an EVGA 3080 FTW3 ULTRA, and it's been purring like a swiss watch, and all the games I play, Zero Issues.

Sure console gaming is less problematic, but you're never going to get a console game looking like NextGen high end gaming PC hardware, which is now 4090 level...

Don't give up, if you want to play extreme ultra next gen settings with games that are ultra realisitic.

HEY, I've modded out Skyrim, presently have over 300 mods on it, and I have it looking like a 2023 NextGen extremly realistic looking game, it would blow you away, how real I have it looking. 🙂

@AnyBrains for example I don't need an extremely realistic-looking game, I just want to have fun, compete and a decent gameplay, that's who I am. but apparently all I got from playing Apex on a PC was a bad experience at all.

@reconzero The reality is, that pc gaming is still ahead in literrly every aspect… sorry but when I read people talking about competing in gaming while playing on a 60 fps console that needs stronger aimasssist to make up for the terrible frames and stuttering I have to laugh my * off.

You talking about cheaters ? Where are the numbers of Cronus etc users ? How many of the high ranked people on console will use Cronus ? And probably even play with mnk and abuse the .6 aimassist ? Console is not this safe haven anymore people believe it to be… yea wallhacking/aimbots are much rarer on console because it’s a bit more effort to crack the console to go that way. But you have to put into perspective the amount of aimbot/wallhack vs cronus etc.
And for every wallhacker you will have like 20x amount of cronus users(pc is in that boat there just as much no worries)

And to posts like the one opened here, please show me some actual evidence of that happening, we in 2023 everyone that has a Nvidia card can clip anything anytime, pls show me the clips where someone does spawn in an armor… pls show me a clip of someone oneshotting someone with fists, theese kind of things if they are happening are hacking and not cheating, you can’t just change dmg numbers of your punch without interfering with the server and he doesn’t just eat everything you send him. Very easy to detect something like this. Or crap like I emptied a whole clip into someone and they didn’t die then he killed me. Please show me the clips to theese things happening. Played for 3.5k h this game and for more than 20k hours cs and never have I seen someone spawn in an armor or crap like that lol. And I played csgo on rank global elite and apex I have 1.7-2.3 kdr depending on account and season. Surely I should see that shot happening on higher ranks-mmr.

And wverytime I open profiles of people claiming such things without evidence it’s far below avg people reporting such anomalies…
Yes cheating is terrible yes apex has a problem there but it’s not as bad as people try to depict it. That ofc if we take Cronus etc out of the picture with it in we have a much bigger problem
