Will crossplay allow console players to use mouse and keyboard?
With crossplay will it allow us to use mouse and keyboard so we can compete with pc players?
Forum Discussion
@xayeeejacob Console is already 80% mouse and keyboard users, they just won't admit it because they're all to busy abusing scripts and macros on third party software to eliminate their recoil on Havoc rifles and rapid-firing the Hemlok/G7 🙂 They use mouse & Keyboard, and scripts to eliminate recoil, whilst also taking advantage of the aim assist because the game is tricked into thinking they're using a controller. It's in a really bad state.
It's a fact, I can prove it with the millions of clips I've saved to my HDD of laser beam, zero recoil, mouse/keyboard movements. It's just a crying shame that no one is happy to acknowledge the problem, or even allow us a way to report people.
I even have a spectator video of someone inputting a "code" to change which gun their anti-recoil is assigned to - and yet, nowhere to send it.
The game is absolutely rammed full of cheaters on console now.

@littlxr
While I will agree that there are many KBM players (specifically in Diamond/Masters/Pred) it is NOT 80% of the community.
The majority of the player base on console are actually controller players. If I had to wager a percentage, I would say about 90% of the players on PS4 and Xbox are controller players.
Your point stands though— KBM on console needs to go.

- @Axs5626Sxa5001 I should clarify; 80% of people I get killed by are on KBM. Perhaps not the population, but it is in every game lobby I play in nonetheless, and I play the game a lot.
And there are both logical and mathematical explanations for this:
Logic: I play with my partner who isn't as seasoned in FPS gaming, so we play very quietly when we're online together, survivalists if you like. The opposite of aggressive players, relying more on good old fashioned surprise tactics and effective flanking, and a lot of luck! So, as the players get knocked out of the match, the probability of encountering an "elite player/cheater" increases, logically. In the top 5, you can almost guarantee at least one team will be cheating due to their pure advantage over the rest of the lobby in reaching the latter stages of most matches. I then get killed in the top 5, spectate my killer, only to find that he has the complete absence of recoil on his guns, and the movement of a mouse user.
Mathematical: Let's say 1 in 60 active players use mods on console now (which they obviously do, based on the many available threads, videos, streams, forum posts, sales, tutorials, Tweets, bans, etc). This means that every lobby will have a probability of at least one modder per lobby. More, due to the fact that they tend to stick together and mod together, so that makes three modders per lobby, at a minimum. Again, as the game ticks on into the later stages, let's say I've survived until the final 3.. I'm suddenly against a of modders (usually two, because they really are everywhere and are blatantly obvious to spot) so again, I will die to them, and spectate their gameplay only to predictably find a complete absence of recoil on any gun (usually the Havoc and R99 for obvious reasons).
This is a perpetual cycle and I experience it daily, without fail. I save video clips on my HDD of it happening for the rare possibility of being actually able to do something about it one of these days.
I think for some people, seeing the gravity of the issue is impossible due to not meeting the criteria of:
SBMM putting them in lobbies with "players of a certain skill level", combined also with making it to the late stages of most games. It's easy to die immediately and spectate your killer to find someone shooting and playing normally. I could do that too, and I'd be ignorant of it too. The issue is that, beyond a certain skill level, you get matched with these knuckleheads in every match, and if you survive long enough on average, you'll see them ALL the time. And I really mean all the time.- @littlxr I'd love to see your clips. Can't you report them in game?
I play this game a ton and about half my games end up top 5 with 10% overall as wins. I do not share what you believe tho. There are moments I get killed by crazy stuff and suspect something fishy but it is more like 10% of the time max.
You've mentioned the havoc a few times. It barely has any recoil at all. It goes straight up and with the headshot multiplier fries people quite easily. You dont need a recoil macro for it. Watch Itempz or backoffmyjankz to see how easily they control it. @littlxrJust cause ppl seem to have no recoil doesn't necessarily mean they are on m&k, nor does it mean they are cheating. Ppl use strike packs and modded controllers which is unfortunately not considered cheating (to the Apex devs) although I firmly believe it is. But as for blatant cheating, you can obviously report anyone that you come across and if they are in fact hacking, they will be banned. I too play the game a lot and to say every lobby has cheaters in it just isn't true.
- @Axs5626Sxa5001 They need to make it like war zone where it’s not by which console but who has keyboard and mouse. It’s a simple fix
I honestly wish i could play kb&m on console with apex every game i play i use keyboard and mouse and i'm terrible with controller so it's not really fun for me and i love apex
