Cheaters are already rampant in Apex

[The_Schipper]

How are you going to deal with cheaters that use ESP and aim bot on PC?

After spectating players that are aimlocked on their targets i am not keen on playing anymore matches.

Apex so far has been really fun. I am willing to pay for a version of Apex if that means that cheaters can't make free accounts.

We take these reports very seriously. Both EA and Respawn are committed to ensuring Apex Legends is played fairly.

Here is a recent update posted last week by the Respawn team.

CHEATERS

As of today over 16,000 cheaters have been identified and banned from the game. Cheaters suck. If you run into one, please try and capture the evidence and let us know here: https://www.easy.ac/en-us/support/apexlegends/contact/report/

Even if you don’t get proof, get their ID and flag it and we can investigate the account. We have heard your feedback about a report feature in the game. I’ll just say that’s a very good idea

I myself also really hopes "respawn" keep the EAC uptodate the anti cheats, and takes serious moves on cheaters,,, trust me you will get more player base by doing it,, i know some cheaters maybe slipped from EAC detection, but please takes serious about it,, i really loves this game,,

I am already dissapointed by the battlefield series where it was already a hackfield where i already have to buy the game to play with cheaters,  it is not about the money,  but it ruins the fun in playing to get bullied by somw cheaters, in the end i already stopped playing BFV.

Well thats all i wanna say,, keep rocking "respawn" go huge 👍

I also quit BF5 because lack of performance and hacks.

Got to love all the people who say "naw man, nobody cheats in this game" 

"did they pick that number out of a hat??

Because you know better than them right?  You know more than the people who work at EA right?

16000 on 25 million players is nothing.

there is way more cheaters than just 16 000

What i'd like to know is what they mean by "banned"...

If they simply managed to ban their account... well... big deal... they only inflate the numbers of banned cheaters and new accounts created (win / win for EA on short term we could say)...

[The_Schipper]

Banning cheaters in a free to play game is like trying to dry yourself with a wet towel...

Despite all the effort you just won't get dry.

They'll just make new accounts.

When there's a sale in non-free games it usually leads to a spike of cheaters in multiplayer matches aswell.

This leads me to think that having to pay a decent sum of money to play a game is a good deterrant.

every second game have people 2500 + kills with aim or wh, after killl just spectace person like that and you see, how to play with cheats in that game.
