What is with the quantity of hacking in this game?

What is with the quantity of hacking in this game?

Literally every single game. Is there any point in playing PC Apex at all? Are you doing anything about it? Why is this such an obvious issue with Apex especially when playing mixtape. I thought it was bad over on Overwatch but after coming back to this after a multi year hiatus I'm positively shocked by the sheer quantity that this community is tolerating. It is really bad over on Overwatch but it is MUCH WORSE here. Shocked.

    @Awooflewhen the Experts (Anti Cheat Developers) say : its roughly in the ballpark of 30% (for nearly every mainstream shooter, also accounted for forbidden scripts, controller addons ect.), then its roughly in the ballpark of 30% ... But those 30% might also be battlepass and skin customers ... so you dont bite the hand that feeds.

    16 seasons, same bread, at least it constant, just shows how bad devs are or care about the player base.... 

  • Things could be worse... maybe?

    I found that "Eve Online" is a Pay to Cheat system.  You pay $20 per month for an Omega account which is allowed to bypass cheats.  For example; They allow Omegas to multi-box and Alphas (free accounts) can get banned for multi-boxing.  CCP will allow you to cheat as long as you pay them.  Which is very sad. 

    I can't really say for sure ( I don't read minds yet ) anyone I have been killed by is a cheater.  In a solid year of game play, I only saw odd movement from a guy that appeared to clip through a wall.  I reported this odd movement to the proper authorities.  If you are wrong, no harm is done.  If you are correct, they will ( or should ) check the logs and follow the player around in game,  to find out for themselves.

    Cheaters only end up depriving themselves of honest wins.

    @XubunnytwoIn the past 6 months I've spectated 2 players that were 100% without a doubt cheating. They absolutely did not give an F and it was blatantly obvious. Everyone else I've spectated that has insta killed me without missing a shot while weaving in and out of my shots and somehow knowing exactly where I was at all times, was either just really good or using a pretty good cheat. It is just tough to tell most of the time because of how high the skill ceiling is in Apex.

    @buffett78there are exceptions to the rule i guess, might be not the best game for everyone , but it seems they care a bit more :

    Part of the Cheater Problem is the most stupid Ranked System there is,  with its Hardcore Grind and holes like swiss cheese that allows high skill players to farm lowskill lobbies and other fancy horse-crap like the Roller Addons you can literally buy at Walmart/Amazon/Younameit. When players get crushed by Masters/Preds even in Bronze lobbies (doesnt matter if they hacked their way into that lobby or as a smurf that does a YT challenge Bronze to Pred ... which is picked up by literally every second highlevel Content creator ) it might be remotely relatable why people take the route of the unfair advantage, they simply have no other options left ... Bottom line, a lot of the Problems can be sourced to Respawns way to handle things and when it gets out of hand they will just abandon the game as they did with Titanfall.

    Agreed, this is far from the first complaint about this thread, locking it down now.
