One step forward....

According to Zeus new video apparently most of that is on PC and there's copious evidence that nobody is getting banned on console or minimal bans. Cheating is a cancer in Apex which is why I stopped playing.

Its an ongoing process afaik, more positive news as far as I am concerned, the more bans the better imo.

anti cheat update Sept 25

2026 Roadmap

~50,000 cheat preventions per day

yeah this is an outright lie

I have seen on a previous post that there was a large ban wave of Cronus and Titan users.. Truly I don't think that really means anything. Unless you are full Console/PC banning...

Are we doing MAC and IP Banning? 

The reason I ask is, once you "ban" these people who are operating with these third party tools, wont they just create a new account and continue doing the same thing we as player base has complained about for years?

Really it comes down to accountability, these people will continue to cheat and go against EA's Terms and conditions. "Banning" their accounts won't mean anything if they can just spoof another email and create a new free account. 

I believe I also read somewhere EA was taking action against these big companies in regards to the cheating problem, however due to loopholes they are still able to operate... Why not just change/update terms and conditions and its wording to include these tools? 

The sentiment is nice, and its not an easy game of cat and mouse finding and removing these exploits. However, there needs to be accountability, and unfortunately its at a point where it needs to be harsh. 

Everyone is at the point where we cannot tell a cheater from a good player, and that ruins the fun, and ruins the game. We need change, start fully removing these people and I'm almost sure people will return. 

Take care of your real player base, start giving real accountability.  

I really hate the feeling of not knowing if the other person is skilled or cheating. I've heard diamond and Masters have a lot of these cheaters and I don't really play ranked but unfortunately for me my pubs lobbies absolutely smothered in diamond and masters players, so much so that I find myself getting lazered by smgs at assault rifle range and wondering what's going on. Also my teammates are often dog water levels of braindead and neither my wife who plays with me or myself have ever gotten past gold 3 so I don't know why I'm forced to play with these kinds of players. It's extremely frustrating for my pubs lobbies to be literally dripping sweat.

There's been plenty on there the last four nights while I've been playing.  Some have even been randoms I've been placed with, one had an R99 with absolutely no recoil at all and it emptied the whole thing out at lightspeed, a fraction of the time the R99 normally takes to empty the whole mag.  Also, I know a few have accused them of lying, and I don't think it is a deliberate lie, just that there is way more than 3,000 accounts on there that are using cheats, each server probably has more than that during the course of one day, I don't know how many games are usually going at one time on one server.  Also, Xim and Titan are only part of the problem.  There is also Chronus and various hacks and scripts being used.  I just hope this 3,000 ban wave is only an experiment and they can take out a much larger chunk of them next time.  It is just getting annoying when people are hipfiring from the other side of the map and getting perfect headshots and swimming in the air without landing like the water level of a Super Mario game.

That's one of the most sad parts too is these players aren't even cheating just to make themselves look better, they are also invading pubs lobbies to just to feel overpowered and crush the dreams of people just playing the game for fun. That's super messed up and believe me if apex dies, cheaters are going to be a huge part of that if they don't fix that crap.

Here's an example of what happened in my pub lobby once 

Round 1 was 40seconds til ring close and there were three squads left on Olympus. I'm playing Valk and panic because that's crazy to lose the whole lobby that fast. I run over to solar array to scan the beacon and on my way it drops to two squads a few seconds before round 1 ring closes, I scan the beacon and it marks them at the outside of terminal facing me. Immediately I get shot down to 40 hp from purple shields by smg fire literally from all the way over the huge pit, across the grass by the rocks and small buildings. I took cover popped a shield battery, and see that they are octane launching across the gap. I valk ult behind the pillar and over to my teammates on that building in between solar array and grow towers. I took additional damage while flying and had to pop a Phoenix kit when I landed. 

Immediately the entire enemy team was sprinting across open ground (they did not use cover, toward us) from the opening archway between those two pois I dealt 25 damage with my r301 before I instantly died to an r99 at that range with literally just my head poking over cover. Both my teammates got lasered within the next fives seconds.

Round ended and they were triple stack preds as well

AymCTL I think you are correct. I think it worked very effectively as a scare for a few days,  then it was back to the normal god shots and "dances in air". 

I can only hope that they get AI to analyse the game data in real time and auto ban these bad actors. Their stats must stick out like a bulging sore thumb thats brightly luminous.

They can't even fix the audio, imagine banning people. Respawn is a complete joke 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
