Hackers. Yes old problem but today i was destroyed in 2 games from 2 hackers level 100+ with over 1000 kills. How this people are playing so long hacking?
I observed both of them and im pretty sure i was the only one reporting (view count on death cam) them since when other people see their kills,level,badges etc they decide its legit and and do not wait a little bit to see that this people use aim bots and wall hacks.
Im wondering are my reports going to be sufficient enough that this people dont play anymore.
Edit: Some streamers use programs to detect people on the map. My team was in the ring for 2 min edge of map, early game where ring dont do much damage, then out of nowhere team of 3 streamers come exactly on our spot and killed us. Out of any logic to move to circle they come inside ring to us. There was no gunfire for atleast 1min. How the hell they knew where to come exactly in the ring.
Edit2: Met a hacker with 4000 kills playing Octane just 10 min ago.
Edit3: Hacker in my team, reported and asked why he is doing it. No answer. He got killed so i guess by another hacker at the end.

The team is aware of these concerns and scaling up their anti-cheat resources. Here is their latest statement on this from an earlier check-in. We know coming across them can be extremely frustrating and I can assure you this is an area of the game they have a lot of eyes on right now.
CHEATERS
As of today we’ve banned over 355K players on PC through Easy-Anti-Cheat. The service works but the fight against cheaters is an ongoing war that we’ll need to continue to adapt to and be very vigilant about fighting. We take cheating very seriously and care deeply about the health of Apex Legends for all players.
We are working on improvements to combat cheaters and we’re going to have to be pretty secretive about our plans. Cheaters are crafty and we don’t want them to see us coming. With that said, we can share some high levels things we’re doing:
We are reaching out and working directly with experts, both within and outside of EA, in this area that we can learn from.
Scaling up our anti-cheat team so we have more dedicated resources.
We are adding a report feature on PC to report cheaters in game that goes directly to Easy-Anti-Cheat.

This copy paste answer is not satisfying enough. 4 games this morning another cheater with 21 season wins. Again people dont spend time spectating the person who headshot them to dead which means he dont get enough reports to auto ban him instantly. The cheater keeps playing until and if anyone actually see my ingame report. Until someone actually review his game logs the cheater will ruin so many people's fun including mine.
The game must have build algorithms that track headshots and if they detect impossible patters like every hit is headshot auto ban.
