Ok, I report several cheaters a day! And so what?!? What will stop them to make another account and troll players again and again? You banned 355K cheaters? The next day they are back in the game. That's it, you just admitted there is atleast 355K cheaters! Good luck trying monetizing.

The speed hack is the * worst I see them in every match now. They land in like 1 second then punch you to death when you get there.

i bet they dont even care like how valve wont care about their customers,implementing the intrusive anti cheat was the best idea to keep game free of hacker 100% but nobody wants it so why the hell you cry?

An absurd amount of cheaters in the past weeks. Today I've met my speedhacker aswell. How freaking hard is it to autoban someone who constantly moves at abnormal velocity? Why is the algorithm like that still not in place? They didn't expect speedhacks in 2019???
Devs are just failing miserably as EA is counting $$$ from battle pass already. Seems like they never were interested of milking this game long term just a cash grab.

I don't think a lot of you realize how difficult it is to come up with a program to catch these cheaters.
First off, these cheats are 3rd party programs, meaning that they don't directly communicate with the server; which means that Respawn has no way of tracing these cheats unless you want to give Respawn permission to scan your entire computer every time you start a game.
For example, an untraceable aimhack could be done in the following manner:
1. When the information concerning location and movement of enemies reaches the client from the server, a COPY of that information is sent to a 3rd party program.
2. The 3rd party program also intercepts the movements of the mouse, before tricking the client into thinking that the cheat is the mouse. When any alterations to the "mouse's" movement is required, the 3rd party program can rewrite the information to match that of the location of the enemy before sending that information to the client.
3. The client believes that it received mouse movement from the 3rd party program and relays it to the server.
4. The server then receives the update and since the game files of both the server and client are unchanged, it cannot detect the cheat.
An example of this application was seen being used in Counterstrike's professional scene when a pro-player was caught using a cheat that was installed into his mouse.
Also, there are many different fields and specializations within game development. A game designer most likely will NOT know how to create an anti-cheat software... only people who specialize in anti-cheat would be able to effectively combat anti-cheat. So there is nothing wrong with them continuing to develop the game while they hire more anti-cheat professionals to deal with this issue.

best thing is, you even die quickly, cause your team jumps into a meat grinder spot, or you actually have a good game and then run into a cheater eventually... really loosing the will to play this game.
saw at least 4 cheaters today (confirmed ones after spectating), maybe more, but can't say anything about the others, cause i couldnt spectate.
even 2 in one game. killed one that had the * movement aim bot running, but was even then too stupid to kill us, just so we could run into an aim botter several minutes later, that unfortunatelly knew how to use his cheat (that one obviously won the round).
so yeah, i think i might be done with this game for now, definitely not spending a single dime on it in this state.

Cheaters are cheetahs.
As soon as EAC plugs the leak, the hack is back up and running within 24-48 hrs. It's a losing battle of back and forth.
Hack publishers probably make more money than EA/Respawn - also tying up EAC/Respawn/EA resources in the process.
Hardware ID bans are a good idea - but it wouldn't be hard to change the software serial numbers/signatures and configs to confuse the detection program.
You would think that as soon as a hack is detected, the player would get banned - EA need to regularly release these figures to restore confidence.
If I ran EAC, I would have agents subscribe to each hack site and be reverse engineering every change 24/7.
