Is teaming with enemy players against the rules?

[CompleatBeet]

I know in most Battle Royale games teaming is strictly prohibited (namely Fortnite), but I have never personally seen a developer response to it for Apex. In my opinion it shouldn't be: you should be able to form temporary alliances with enemy squads as a tactic to take down other, stronger, squads.

I just wanted to know if it is technically against the rules and considered unfair play or cheating from the team and community.

It is against the rules to team up with enemy players, yes.

In that article is an embedded tweet by the developers saying they will take action after an investigation.

@CompleatBeet It is not allowed and never should be.

Okay! Just wanted to be sure that a group of 6 people attacking me in game isn't normal

I don't think i have seen bigger BS on this forum then that. :D Sorry

How do you even know a squad is stronger without killing it?

This is wrong in every way possible.

@CompleatBeet if you have clear evidence of teaming I'd save and report it.

@DaAceXD Just saying: in a fight to the death: you'd probably want to do whatever it takes to survive and win - even if it means teaming with enemies.

The "stronger squads" part was admittedly pretty... incorrect

I literally watched two different teammates both solos in apex at the end of the match help each other. One of them dropped a shield cell and they just lowered there health. Until the wraith finally took out the Bangalore.
