Game isn’t worth it anymore tbh.

The amount of players blatantly walling is embarrassing.

Respawn touting these big numbers are meaningless in the context of Apex. They act like we're that stupid. It's a F2P game... it's not hard to make new accounts. Apparently you can buy a bunch of accounts for dirt cheap as well, and they're already leveled up.

With how bad the sound is, hit registration, lag comp, desync, server instability, game instability, there's just no way people are that consistent in this game. I've seen hundreds of Longbow shots pass through enemies. Lot's of time, they were standing still.

Cheating needs to be the number one priority of any studio releasing an FPS game. That means from the ground up they need to design it with that in mind. Which is another thing Respawn seems to have given up on with the introduction of Axel, a cheaters wet dream. Apex already has a cheating problem, 20 tick servers, and you want to introduce someone who zips around... hmm, I wonder who is going to be using them all the time. It's things like Axel that take away any hope I have for this game.

Personally, I'm not spending ANY money on games anymore. If they can't 100% guarantee they have the cheater problem under control, not spending a freaking dime anymore. All these big studios could absolutely solve it if they truly felt motivated, so start motivating them people. I'm tired of being gaslight into "it's really hard", "it's a cat and mouse game", and all that BS. Not a chance that's the case. Cheaters inject code and change what's possible in the game.

Hey everyone. Our team is still making their best efforts to combat bad actors everyday.

I will be sure to share this thread and your suggestions for account making restrictions.

Are you sure? Since season 0 before watson was released we always get cheaters everywhere. You guys cant even fix the AMD and Easy Anti Cheat conflicting, it still is going. The game is still crashing. For a huge company with many employees, you sure take your time fixing bugs, cheats, crashes, purchase problems.

every. lobby. i. was. in. today. had. 2-3 trios of cheaters. EVERY ONE, NO EXCEPTIONS. played for 5 hours. gained more points than usual just by ratting because the cheaters dont wait and will go on to fight everyone else. take your pick as to what the cheats were. anywhere from wallhackers that could not only see but also shoot through terrain, through snap aimbotters, to... i dont even know how, individuals that could break evac tower balloon from 100 to 0 in less than a second with one shot.

thats not how combatting cheaters looks. all games in gold/gold-platinum pools. very few occasions it was new accounts (sub level 100), very often it was level 400+ accounts. some of them ttv names, most of them some random username

by the way it is still the very same suspects, always octanes with 100% accuracy, only-headshot vantages, 100% accuracy peacekeeper wraiths etc. nevermind all the zero recoil horizons and valkyries

How to gain RP in season 28 of Apex:

Hope you match with a cheater. Only way a regular solo player can gain consistent RP. lol

Just encountered one of the most obvious cheaters a few minutes ago. Clearly walling, tracking people behind rocks. We're talking like back and forth shamelessly tracking them behind geometry.

I died to them when they stepped out from cover and one-clipped me within a single tick. They should not have known I was even there. We scanned them, saw they were pushing from like 300 meters away. We had better positioning, but nah. They just rushed straight to us, no hesitation, no looking for us, then beamed us. The cheater was a Silver btw.

This is the type of cheater that needs to be banned automatically within a round, maybe two at most. If someone being that blatant can't be automatically detected, there's not a chance in hell Respawn will ever be able to effectively combat cheaters.

This person was as close to rage cheating that you will see now days. Now imagine all the players using cheats in a more subtle way. Like an aimbot cone, or walls but within 100 meters, and so on. These guys are running around without a care in the world.

I'll post an update if this cheater gets banned. If they don't, all my faith in Respawn will be completely lost. This will be the clearest indication that they've completely given up to me. I say this because I'm 100% certain this player was cheating.

Which conflict are you referring to specifically? Team is looking into other crashing issues at the moment.

Regarding bad actors, in Season 26, the team rolled out a new bot detection model and expanded DMA detections in collaboration with EAC with the intention of disrupting the market for pre-leveled accounts. These measures should make it significantly harder for cheaters to operate and should improve the overall health of the lobbies.

Here's our full post with more data for you to review:

https://steamcommunity.com/games/1172470/announcements/detail/497214077375874823?snr=2___
Regarding devices such as Strikepacks, Cronus, XIM, and similar hardware, please note that our teams are actively developing detection improvements that will feature a multi-layered detection system specifically designed to identify the use of input-manipulating hardware with a high degree of confidence.

You can check our full blog here:

We also recently shared some data about the number of accounts being suspended in the game recently:

We really appreciate everyone contributing to our community every day, and we will keep sharing anti-cheat data as often as we can.

Don't count on getting a reply from this mod. If they do, they only responds to say "I'll let the team know" and nothing ever happens.

Also I'm an ACM not a mod, and we will definitely let the team know about how most people feel in here.

Another update on this topic. Over these last few months, the anti-cheat team has been validating a new detection system which resulted in identifying and removing 1,000 accounts for using unauthorized software/gameplay enhancements, in its first week alone! These bans also targeted Xim and Titan users.

Additionally, we executed a highly focused and targeted ban wave of the top 100 positions on leaderboards The wave resulted in the following bans: Console - 79, PC - 7.

We will continue monitoring, refining, and expanding our anti-cheat capabilities to stay ahead of emerging threats and help ensure a fair experience for all players. See the full announcement here:
