Please do not name any player you suspect may be cheating, this is called "Naming and Shaming" and is not allowed on Answers HQ.
If you suspect a player may be playing unfairly you can use the steps detailed at the following link to report them.

EAs policy is the same logic as dont call out names of pedophiles because thats naming and shaming. It doesnt matter that what they are doing is morally wrong what matters is not shaming them. EA policies were made by garbage people who promote exploitation rather than a positive community. But hey what else can you expect. Thats why they rarely ever have games that last very long because the community is encouraged to be toxic. So as soon as something remotely close comes out people quit and go anywhere else.

Naming and Shaming policies are an industry standard for the same reason people are considered Innocent Until Proven Guilty. Comparing such things to *'s is hardly reasonable. After all, how would you feel if I reported you as a Cheater And Pedophile? But don't worry, I didn't stop there -- I made numerous posts on various forums Naming and Shaming you. But don't worry, I didn't stop there -- I might also find you ingame and make sure everyone there was also aware of my accusation.
Do we live in a Guilty Until Proven Innocent kind of world?
Use ingame reporting tools and let the admins do their jobs.

You seem like the kind of person who would defend a pedophile while he's in the middle of tearing through a kindergarten class.

Lots of work for such a common issue. I think it'll be another good ftp to die in the hands of cheaters. So sad.

Apologies about this I guess but your actually a * imbecile to take into account that naming and shaming will be a problem. How are you have no system in place for hacks given that you knew this was gonna happen. PUBG died due to hackers. why don't developers put a statistic graph up and have a look at what causes the problems properly? Cause in the end whether the game is paid or not, will not stop anyone from hacking unless you make them use a social security number to sign in like Korea and Japan. where the hacking is most likely at a minimal compared to other countries. and yes naming and shaming the Chinese since so far I have people like [Removed - Admin.]. now i have many more names on this list and many of the videos. i will keep an eye on this post for you responding in such an inhuman way and using this as support on how well you do in responding to the biggest issue in the community. I will use this information and ship it off to many of the mainstream content creators to make sure this issue is spread. however, if you deal with the hackers by ridding them from the game I'll consider doing the same thing with a positive review.
step up your game. you guys need it at EA after your blow over with Battlefield 5- 7 years agolol what a badass, "however, if you deal with the hackers by ridding them from the game I'll consider doing the same thing with a positive review"

I have reported hacks now to EA twice and nothing is being done.
Today I played Apex, emptied an entire Hemlock magazine into a player, sounds registered, blood was seen, yet player did not drop.
I was then killed with one shot from them.
At end of match it said 350 damage caused by me, yet the player did not drop and killed me with one shot.
Next game, a player was moving around the map at about 20 times normal speed. They had looted an entire area before we even landed here.
Again all have been reported but I am told that the action taken will not be disclosed to me.
Pity as initially I enjoyed this game in its first few weeks of release but now its just a pool for hackers to annoy honest online gamers.Remember to send us invites to the funeral for Apex coz its gonna happen fast and furiously at this rate!

Same thing today (March 25) as what happened to djkevnic.
Was matched with a Chinese guy, who ran at about 10x normal speed. We landed in an instant. In 8 minutes he killed 26 players dealing 4000+ damage, winning the game.
Next game, paired up with a Chinese screaming aimbot spammer that now absolutely directly and blatantly advertises the hacks. No more wechat ID or anything obscure, straightforward and direct advertising of hacks, full text. If need be I have screenshots, I only regret not capturing the video as well.
And before the admin goes bananas that I am slandering a country - no. I am not saying all Chinese are hack spambots or cheaters themselves, but I am yet to encounter a single non-Chinese on an East Asia server that would be cheating. Take a look at PUBG and learn from the mistakes. The way things are now, this is utterly unplayable!
Also, please add "hack advertising spambot" to the reasons for reporting a player.
Thank you - although I fear my complaints shall fall on deaf ears and maybe even be used against me seeing how the admin responded to previous comments of others.
