What's the current situation on cheating?
The question is in the title. And let's stick to the topic and verifiable information. But the reason why I'm asking this, is that there's some suspicious activity to be seen in-game. And I've heard ...

@ArmoredBurbotPeople love crashing the servers as well when the game doesn't go their way. Just had a round where I was trying to finish a downed Lifeline, and all of a sudden, the server crashes. Of course I get a 10 minute penalty... it's happened twice this week so far.
It's almost like EA doesn't want people feeling comfortable spending money on this game?!
The general estimate, like you said, is something like 20-30% people are cheating to some capacity every single match with online shooters. There might be a couple exceptions like Valorant maybe?
When games are competitive, or you can stream and make money being "good" at a game, people will cheat. Games need to find ways to make their games a bit more casual friendly and not rely on solely winning 1v1's to gain any satisfaction from playing. Apex does that to some extent, but it needs to go further in my opinion. Obviously, they also need to continuously work on anticheats as well.

Just how exactly does one crash a server of this size? I know there are DDoS attacks in world, but we are talking about a gaming server. Those things should be able to withstand most minor and moderate DDoS attacks.
