Greetings everyone!
Today at 10:00 AM (european time) I have seen a real hacker in the multiplayer mode Turf Takeover. I have proofs that it was a real hacker.
(Below is a link to a video which I uploaded on google drive where you can see the hacker and his actions)
The hacker used flyhack and aimbot. I think he used a hack menu because he was flying in the air as cactus and everytime when the hacker moved he teleported left, right etc. Depending of the direction he moved.
And I am very sure that the hacker was also using aimbot because the weird thing was that the hacker had a red glow around his body. Like an ESP or however it is called. And everyone of my teammates in the zombie team were able to see this red glow at this hacker too. So the hacker probably used an aimbot where he sees at the enemies a red glow, but all other people are able to see at him a red glow as well.
Details about the hacker:
-The hacker played as cactus
-The hacker is called on Origin <removed by CM>
-The hacker stopped using his flyhack after he saw that I was hiding with my parrot drone behind a rock to record his actions, then he walked on the ground like a normal player but he still used aimbot.
Watch the video here:

Sadly I couldn't found out how to report a hacker directly to the developers. So wrote everything in here.

Thanks for wanting to report cheaters. I'm afraid we are unable to take any action on reports we receive on the forum (and must remove links, images or mentions of the suspect players name shared on this forum per our forum rule: name and shame) but we do have official channels for reporting cheaters (EA Help article).

Might not be a hacker. The flying cactus is actually a bug that I have experienced a few times when exiting the drone. The cactus flies off the ground and moves fast. Fixed by respawning.
The red glow I think was added in the recent update to highlight enemy players.
So yeah, not so sure.
