there is SOLID fix for cheaters, so a new players keep getting killed and then finally decided to use cheats. eventually they get ban , but they still keep coming like roaches.

I used to play a lot of Apex but now with the amount of hackers, It's just too frustrating to play. I know EA has the Report a Cheat but it clearly isn't enough. The way spectating works now is not good enough too and it is a lot of work.
I really think a Death Cam (to see how a player is actually killed by someone) would be a great feature after the whole squad has been wiped for those who want to check if they just got killed by cheaters. It's very obvious when an enemy is just locked onto another players head and is spraying bullets into his skull with a Spitfire and gold damage numbers just keep splashing out. Right now, after a player has died, he has wait till his own squad is wiped, then only can he spectate the enemy that killed his team. Then, he has to wait till the enemy he is spectating enters a battle(which could take a long time), to see if he really is cheating. But even with the Death Cam, it still doesn't stop hackers from hacking. It only helps to identify a hacker. Game after game after game I'm being lasered by hackers. It's getting close to impossible to play with the amount of hackers in the game now.
For the Death Cam feature to truly be beneficial, players should be given the feature to save a Death Cam clip after being killed so we can upload it to Report a Cheat. Then, of course, players should also be allowed to save the gameplay of an entire match to view later. Then, players can jump around all 60 players POV to again, see if anyone is actually hacking while viewing the clip and to also enjoy the highlights of the match too.
Even after a player has been banned for cheating, all he has to do is create a new account and play with his hacks and cheats again. It's just not working. It's just Hack>Ban> Create New Account>Hack Again cycle at this current situation.
I really hope EA can find a way to truly punish hackers and cheaters because with the game being free, hackers and cheaters would not be afraid of being banned.
1 idea that I've thought of is the need to add mobile numbers to accountsand then having to verify that mobile number. 1 mobile number can only be used for 1 account. That way after an account is banned, that mobile number can no longer be used to create a new account, or it can't be used to create a new account for a month (temporary ban).
I feel Respawn and EA should fix this problem quick because hackers and cheaters can really drive player base down. How much can a player take, after joining a game that is ruined by a hacker, then joining the next game filled with hackers again? I stopped playing for a few days because I got fed up with hackers. I tried again today and all my games are ruined by 100% headshot players again. It also feels like the population of hackers and cheaters are increasing every day.
Let's hope this issue can be resolved before or with the release of the 1st Battle Pass, which I really am looking forward to.

The phenomenon you said is also very distressing for me.
Compared with the better solution to the problem, it still relies on the official anti-cheat ability. It is very good in this aspect of Tencent in China.

How about you guys do something about this. If I reported every [Edit - Admin.] hack spam, I wouldnt have time to play.
If im not fighting the millions of hackers ingame, Im listening to their * advertising at startup, then they drop out when the game starts.
Why dont you band the people that drop groups 100s of times a day. Couldn't be any easier to find them.

Don't ban them, just move them to a realm with all of the other hackers.
Banning is useless in a free to play game
So is banning hardware ID's. Really easy to spoof all of that.
Have an AUTOMATED IN GAME REPORT SYSTEM. So that if 10 people or 10+X people report someone for hacking, it triggers a review by some human at hq, or even auto ban to the dark realm.
