Using macros on Apex Legends
Can I get banned for using gaming peripheral macros?
Forum Discussion
So then I take it you'll be banning Dieagosaurus the Twitch streamer and some others? There's plenty of his highlights where he has his mouse cam on clearly showing P2020 macros, Mastiff Animation cancel Macros etc. Just watch the finger on the side of his mouse when he uses those weapons and how fast the p2020 shoots like an r99 and the mastiff is basically as fast as double tap eva with no delays between the 2 shot bursts.
He simply holds down the side button and blows people away in .3 seconds. He's a good player, good aim but abuses the hell out of macros as do a TON of streamers.
So are they getting off because they bring attention to your game and have a camera in front of their face?
If you want a youtube video link with Timestamps I'll happily give it to you, I have nothing personal against the guy but watching streamers that are average/slightly above average get predator because of the insane amount of exploits or, we'll just say methods against your TOS and clearly stated here should be dealt with then, that's a lot of popular people showing your game.
Since the Logitech G502 and the P2020 have been mentioned, I'm curious what people view the "scroll wheel" trick as.
For those that don't know, the G502 has a feature where you can unlock the scroll wheel and spin it freely (called like infinite scroll or something). The idea being, that by binding your fire key to say, scroll down, you can unlock the wheel and give it a good flick and your p2020 will max it's fire rate and SHRED.
I've heard of this being used in other games like CS:GO, and if were being honest I've tried it in Apex (I don't care for it, the wheel is super sensitive and a p2020 going brrrrrrrrrrt is hard to control). I am curious whether this kind of thing falls in the same vein as macros when it comes to whether or not it's "cheating".
- @blkarmphoenix Anything that automates actually pressing the buttons or circumventing game mechanics is cheating to me.
