Why you should report almost everyone for Aimbot

Just a friendly reminder and a call to action for everyone.

As you know, Respawn doesn’t show a controller icon next to PC players' names in the death recap or spectate mode. If they are on PC, it just shows the PC icon. Because of this, it is literally impossible to distinguish between a controller player utilizing high-level aim assist and a literal cheater using a soft aimbot.

From a mouse and keyboard perspective, when you see a "PC player" perfectly tracking targets through the air, completely ignoring recoil, and one-magging people with zero human error, you are witnessing tracking that is mechanically impossible on a mouse without software assistance.

Since Respawn refuses to give us proper visual clarity and treats MnK players like second-class citizens - forcing us to fight against controller players who abuse and squeeze every single drop out of aim assist - we have to take matters into our own hands.

The logic here is simple: more reports lead to automated bans. The more controller players get flagged and banned by the automated system, the faster Respawn will be forced to acknowledge the issue. If they refuse to fix the balance and give us proper icons, we will use the tools we have to fight back.

Don't overthink it. You are just doing your civic duty based on the visual information the game provides. If someone tracks you perfectly like a robot, report them for Aimbot and let the automated system sort them out.

  • As soon as a player gets banned for cheating they will open a new account. Unfortunately that is the cycle. The devs can do better but they don't care 

  • You must be talking about professional players.

    Im not sure your hypothesis of "more reports lead to automated bans" is true. And reporting genuine honest players is a waste of everyones time, including yours.

    Your time would be better spent reporting actual cheats. It sounds to me like you would know the difference between a cheater and a genuine player, which I dont, as its all far to fast for me.

     

     

    Am i get it right you think its fair to spend another 5-10 minutes of your lifetime to spectate everyone that killed you, record a evidence and then pray it will work? You know most of the wallhack/aimbot reports doesnt work properly so you must record it by yourself and send video to discord channel? do you know Apex got huge optimization issues on 20 y.o engine in 7y.o game? so you mean i must add some specie latency to my stuttering gameplay on 20hz server and 90ms lagging ping with FPS jumping to 60 from 180

    Ok, a lot there.

    My son plays pc m&k and has a setting of 16,000 dpi on the mouse. It makes me ill to watch him play as he is like a whirling dervish. He does well.

    I play on pc with a controller, having recently moved from my obsolete xbox 1s. 

    From my perspective there is no way I could outclass him in any way. I only have 2 thumbs an 2 fingers to do everything in analogue, while he has a mouse with loads of buttons and massive rolling movement with pinpoint accuracy, and a keyboard for the other hand.
