Imagine being so bad at video games you have to buy a second computer to cheat so you'll feel better about yourself 😂

The fact that dozens of the top players got caught cheating just made me not want to play anymore. Not only as a solo player do I have to fight 3 stacks of legitimately good players, I also have to fight cheaters.

Is it cheating is such a stupid question. There is no debate. IF YOU USE ANYTHING THAT PLAYS THE GAME FOR YOU, YOU ARE CHEATING. Also all the weirdos who use configs for controller on pc are also cheating.

as a day 1 mnk player on this game....it's so hard to enjoy it anymore. I feel like I only get killed by players with 4k 20 bomb badges or level 8 wraiths and there is no in between

One of the greatest decisions of my entire life is that I stopped playing Apex after encountering numerous amount of cheaters, for almost 6 months now. I had big hopes from Apex but it's in EA's hands so this was expected.

Very informative video on the state of the cheating epidemic on apex, transitioned from apex to the finals and I’ve already run into aimboters and bullet curve cheaters i just hope all dev teams of all games can find a permanent solution to the hacking crisis we’re in right now with gaming as a whole

It’s pathetic to see just to what extent people will go to

Valorant announced a few days ago that they now have an anti-cheat for DMAs, a best-in-class technology. It seems like they are one of the first who can start fighting DMAs, which is a significant step forward! Hopefully, other developers will keep up with them and start implementing similar things, especially in Apex.

The saddest thing about cheating/cheaters is that most of us come to video games as an escape for what we deal with in life. The real world is the exact same thing as the cheating epidemic in gaming. IRL, people cheat and get caught, go to prison/jail. Other people fool everyone and make it to the 1%. Everyone else playing life fairly never leave lower class or maybe make it to middle class and thats it. I cant even escape life through gaming anymore 😂

I hate players that use zen and strike packs. Had one guy say he uses zen for recoil control which is still cheating. I shouldn’t be getting shot from across the map from an r99 that’s meant for close range fights

I guarantee 75% of the "top players" in any FPS game are cheating in one way or another. It is so common these days, especially near the top. Sucks that most companies either can't identify the cheats (Chronos, Xim, Configs etc.) or they turn a blind eye if it is a big streamer or content creator.

I have to agree with this video. Not everybody is that good at the game, but somehow people never seem to miss anymore. It's rare if I run into a player who can't hit me. Everyone I run into now always beams me for 100+. I only play mixtape and it's interesting considering you run into the same people several times. Running into the same player hitting every shot in every engagement is just unrealistic. I keep trying to tell people I feel like cheating is worse than they think, and they always tell me I'm coping. This video is perfect proof of that statement. Not to mention the soft aimbots that make players look legit. You never know what's on someone's PC.

The last month I have been nuked over and over and over by hackers. Zero fun. Lobby after lobby, after lobby, and got tired of it. EA app and Apex uninstalled. Playing The Finals now and having way more fun.

7:44 i swear i had an almost same situation happening to me in pubs or ranked - this part i don't remember - but it was on olympus around the edge of the map near fightnight (north) and we first had two teams stopping shooting each other to focus my team that was 3rd partying and my teammates died. I survived as bangalore. We had an supporter in our team so i ratted for like 3 minutes till the ring closed on us and crouchwalked towards the replicator - no sound, always behind cover - till the surviving team randomely sprinted towards me, still behind cover(!) - and shot me down instantly. Nobody saw me. I didn't sprinted. No a single hint that i was in the area. Same thing happened a few seasons ago when my team died and i needed to ratt in a crevice between plants (!) on stormpoint. I had the camouflage ash skin holding my gun out in a position where nobody could have seen me. I was there for 5 minutes doing nothing. What happened? A mirage sprinted straight towards me across 150m and instantly shot me down. Like literally running up to me *in a straight line*

One kind of newer cheat you missed talking about is the AI/ML based cheats that use capture cards and such and just use the screen data to do aimbot. They started popping up in recent years especially in games I frequent like CS. They are even more undetectable than the DMA cheats, unless they plan on banning eveyone with a capture card lol.

The length that these cheaters will go just to win in a video game, wow.

Recoil scripting and aimbot are two VERY different things. A Cronus is not capable of aimbot, which is software that aims for you. All it can do is modify your inputs based on preset parameters - counteract recoil, etc. Both are cheating and wrong, but it’s an important distinction to make, especially considering the educational intent of the video

Little editing tip, make sure that you "nest" a clip in Premiere Pro after applying blur, especially if you've attempted to obscure something. This precaution prevents plugins or transitions from disrupting the blur when using a parallax transition preset. 👌Great video though!

I had no idea on how to cheat or what kinds of cheats there are, but thank you for sharing detailed info on how to cheat, devices to get, sites to use etc…..

Im glad this video popped up. Started playing apex 3 months ago and noticed how sometimes, people have 0 recoil from miles away, theres no way theyre hitting all their shots. Makes no sense.

Imagine if these people put the same effort into just being good at the game

This is why I stopped playing Apex. I was able to reach top 100 Pred on Xbox multiple times, but each season the grind became less and less worth it as I noticed more and more people using Cronus and XIM. On top of that these last few seasons have had storm healers and certain exploits (Revenant invisible glitch for example). Overall, it has rendered the achievement of hitting Pred meaningless to me. It seems Respawn has made the minimal effort to address these issues. Finally got tired of it all. I dropped the game a month ago while the invisible glitch was rampant in ranked.

Love how at the 5:00 mark you don’t censor the F word but at the end you do 🤷‍♂️ but a great video with an insight about cheating I had no idea was possible.

Earned my sub. He's super informmative and easy to understand. Actual legend in the making here fellas.

Thank u so much i found this to be VERY alarming and informing. all this does is make any pc player look worse now and this is probably y so many actually took the chance n time to learn controller bcuz the bs this can do legitimately cant be overlooked and it makes me wonder (someone who played since day 1 release on console and recently switched to pc thanks to cross-progression) other than there long distance aim, binds to do lore with there layout of inputs, better graphics,Options in general to adjust gameplay via audio and video, and so much more, there awareness was better

I’m on console and this last year has been pretty bad for me with cheaters. I run into a lot of lag switchers and no recoil zen abusers in high ranked lobbies. I even have a clip of an invisible 3 stack that ran up and completely wiped me and my friend. 😂 This never really used to be a problem for me until recent. Hope they do something about it soon cause this game is slowly dying.

Awesome video ... I would like to extend this video to other gaming series too! Through this method, COD, BF1 and many other games can use similar method without actually have a cheat program specifically for each game. Thank you bro for the enlightening video!

All these games dealing with the same problem, it would be a shame if someone found out where the creators of these cheats lived and someone went to visit them

You can never stop cheating. The cheaters are better programmers than the game developers.

Apex will end up like titanfall sooner or later in terms amount of cheaters that will destroy the game

Damn only 188 subs bro keep it up this was a great video can tell you invested yourself into this, got my sub 💪🏼

Huge W vid. I had no idea about the second pc thing to hide cheats. That kinda blew my mind. I can't believe the lengths that ppl are to going to for cheating.

Pretty sad to see that people will go to such extreme lengths to cheat like this, I haven't played for a good few months because it just seems like the cheating has been getting worse and worse

Great vid. The time for willy-nilly making an online game and tacking on anti-cheat as an afterthought, has been over for a long time. Nothing will change before competitive integrity is on devs' mind from the first line of code. It's an engineering problem. The good news is that devs have been slacking so hard in this department, we have yet to see what the same kind of genius that goes into cheating can do on the anti-cheat side. I stopped playing Apex after last season. The legal and illegal cheats, combined with atrocious matchmaking, renders the solo-queue experience soul-crushing. I'm glad to have lived through the past two decades of multiplayer FPS on the PC. Had my fill and am willing to tap out for a decade or however long it takes for the glory days to return. Not gonna sit around through the dark ages, that's for sure.

It was already confirmed in a Microsoft conference we had that only licensed Xbox accessories will be compliant for consoles. All 3rd party “non licensed” devices/accessories will no longer work in maybe first quarter “or second” 2024. Pretty much most of the market is licensed, but Cronus will never be.

soild content bro will keep watching from time to time

You can use config files but being able to bunny hop and heal was "too strong"

DMA, while scary, is not as scary as some cheats that run on your own system generally speaking, DMA cannot perform actions for you without begin detected, at least not without delay which would make the cheat unreliable (i am talking about aimbot specifically, what he was talking about in the beginning regarding the cronus zen, that was just recoil cheats, not aimbot). Aimbot works by getting the specific location of any given hitbox by accessing the draw commands sent to the GPU by the CPU (this is very low level access and is very easy to detect, very few legitimate programs do this), then calculating where it has to move your mouse to place the center of your screen on that hitbox. the interesting thing is that while the aimbot gets the information it needs, it can also feed this information to a wallhack process which can then draw skeletons or just highlight player model related textures through walls. all this has to run locally for either of those to be reliable, which is the exact opposite of what DMA cards do. therefore DMA cards, while they can give you an enormous advantage by providing you with radar, they cannot aim for you or show you things through walls. what scares me more are some cheats which i won't name that run locally on your system and are injected through the most interesting ways possible, like for example Intel's VMX feature, which is used mainly to improve virtualisation on windows machines (anyone that has used WSL, Windows Subsystem for Linux, knows what i'm talking about, and probably had to turn it on in their BIOS for WSL to work). VMX provides cheats with the perfect amount of access to do everything, except for writing to memory of the process it is reading. Aimbot, wallhack, radar, you name it, can be ran, and is virtually undetectable. spooky shit

I have been rating and had similar thing happen where a team ran out towards the ring in a random spot just to kill me.

Worst cheat out there is dipping an entire mag into the enemy only to hear "tink, tink, tink" and see those connection errors pop up, only to skip frame rates until youre a death box 😅. Hardware bans are the only way.

There is a lot of one player carrying a squad in trios, clearly cheating, must be making money from the carry as the other two in the squad separate and do very little in the game. Watched this at least a dozen times. I would also mention there are way more cheats / hacks out there. The one that is a real pain at the moment is their ability to not get killed, and teamed with the increased damage makes it so much fun to come up against.

Great informative video. Appreciate it. However the last video on the player ratting, imo, its just a normal thing to go and look for rats in the final circles. Specially when there 9 squads and 14 players..

There should be an option in matchmaking to only play with people who are using the same input device as a means to dodge controller players. It's insane to me that a competitive game has controller support that is borderline aimbot territory with how much it compensates... FPS games were never meant to be played with a controller.

I absolutely love, the way this man, explains stuff!

YOU SIR ARE 100% RIGHT ABOUT D.M.A... GREAT VIDEO!!!!

First of all, I must express my respect for your work on this informative video. I've been playing Apex since Season 2 and when the time came for even MNK Pro players to switch to a controller, it was my time to hang up the baby game. The fact that this game even has "professional tournaments" is an absolute joke! The game was only released to generate money and never to provide a good shooter. Packs for cosmetic items are the manufacturer's number one priority and never fixing problems with the game itself! Therefore, I can only recommend everyone to really turn their back on this game, as it is the BIGGEST waste of energy and passion from a gamer's point of view. Unfortunately, there is nothing more to say about this game. I'm out.

I enjoyed on and off plays on Apex with my brother but Season 19 made us quit completely and instead spend more time with Division 2. The cheaters are so blatant and rampant now that it's impossible to enjoy a good match. The last time I tried cheating was during the days of the Gameshark era. It made the games boring very quickly and sold the damn thing soon after.

Cheating is about as scummy as it gets. Like, your only enjoyment comes from WINNING? Yet you know it wasn’t YOU who won, so surely it feels empty? I guess they’re just sadistic people, who get enjoyment out of other’s misery. I feel for them, genuinely. How miserable does their life have to be to resort to THIS for your kicks?

I dont like apex, and cheating is wrong in any game. But, I am truly fascinated on how these scripters do their thing. Especally with the DMA card, I would imagine that a good amount of anti-cheats have this vulnerability as well and not just apex. But holy crap, the lengths that these people go is absolutely nuts.

You have to be the biggest scum bag if you go through all of that, instead of just enjoying the game and having fun.

nice informative video bro..subscribed

I understand so much now Companies can only do so much it’s really getting crazy

The big issue with the Chronus shit isn't really even the scripts, or people "spoofing" mnk... it's the other way around, they play on MnK, but they use a Chronus to trick the game into thinking they're on controller. This way they get all the benefits of MnK while also getting one of the most broken strong Aim Assist systems ever put in a game... At this point it's honestly starting to feel like crossplay has brought more problems than benefits, back in the olden days, AA wasn't this strong and it didn't have to be because controller players were mostly confined to consoles and MnK was entirely confined to PC. Then came crossplay, we started seeing more mixed inputs and game devs juiced up the AA to try and keep all the casual console crowds from being completely stomped by MnK players. However, in order to make this happen, AA needed to be so strong it has literally just shifted the scales in the other direction and now it feels like being on MnK actually puts you at a disadvantage. You can see this just by looking at the pro scene, most players are now using controller, several pros have chosen to switch from MnK to controller just to keep up. So when you have aim assist this strong and you can fool the game into giving you that Aim Assist on MnK then that's practically the same as a soft aimbot, but much harder to detect...

Cheaters cheat cause they suck and need cheating to be good

glad to hair someone talking on this problem

same problem with rainbow six siege so many cheaters these days its unplayable 9/10 games has cheater this is realy sad. thank you for sharing this info bro.

I think the next way that they will be able to control the cheating in a competitive game is cloud gaming if it gets out of hand. Meaning players will not be able to access the game files at all. Only stream the games from the company directly...

That first thing you said is cheating plan and simple. Sadly apex has been on the decline. Cheaters and sbmm sucks. My moto is if you cant solo queue and it be fun or fair its time to move on. I stop in and play like once a month and find my self saying this games just not fun.

Crocus zen can be used wjth mnk users aswell creating no recoil

web radar explains the instant 3rd parties especially when youre stuck in storm after finishing a fight and people push into the storm in master/pred lobbies.

Yep. Most Apex players utilize some type of software, script, or straight up hack etc. Wall hacking is very predominate in the game as well. Everyone who shoots me beams me. I highly doubt all these kid's are THAT good. No other FPS I play is like this for me. I'm slightly above average with a 3.11 KD when I quit. I'm no pro but I am pretty good at most FPS I play and now I just get 1 clipped every single time like I'm standing absolutely still. I quit about a week ago. No plans to go back ever again. I refuse to believe most of these guys are legit and that's just how I'll handle that, by walking away. Apex has lost a lot of us players due to all the hacks and the games community in general being ignored by the devs. It was fun for a while though. Had a blast.

Valkyrie has got the passive hability to scan people's locations while flying .. don't you see her flying over the Revenant ? She saw him from above, and located him legitimately I guess

Thank you for making this video

This is a clear violation not only to the devs, but, also to the player. If you allow a machine to auto correct your aim, you gain no experience. Thus, you learn nothing on how to aim in apex, which defeats the purpose of the devs sensitivity option settings. The devs, including this feature, and configured it in such a way that all players have a chance at being top ranked by their own efforts, so using a machine to correct player aim, naturally goes against TOS. Besides, the x and y coordination works great.

Make the game 50$, permaban everyone who use cheat by IP and account , and there will be no cheaters!

0:50 ur address is visible

Well Put together

I learned some new things from this. ❤❤

A.i. anti cheat is being worked on and expected to roll out by the end of the year. The a.i. is being trained to distinguish between human and inhuman reactions and gameplay. Cronus or 2nd computer won’t matter. cheating will be a thing of the past.

As a former Valk main, I can clearly confirm the clip at the end isn't cheating. Even having it sped up 1000x, you can see plain as a day the Jump tower in the back, and at some point the Revenant was scanned by the Valk.

I feel you man. I just did a video on crossplay. On how crossplay is inciting cheating. True the days are gone to know who's legit and not.

Just so you know in the beginning of the video I'm not sure if you noticed or not but it does show your address or most of it.

Editor was drunk while making those blur boxes 😂

Finally someone talking about DMA :D this has been available for over 10 years and is basically the reason I have always denounced anti cheat efforts, any anti-cheat can be bypassed using a cheap network card with a modified hardware to gain DMA access

Maybe that Valkyrie hit a balloon and seen him ping as a green triangle. With that being said it doesn't really prove anything right?

Just trying to get back into apex and this the first video on my recommended...

Crazy how widespread cheating is across basically all live service gaming right now. It amazes me how much time, effort and money people will sink into something they suck at to completely remove the joy from. So many cheaters im sure think they're just that good, or deserve the skill those kinds of things give them, and its disgusting . Whats more unfortunate, is how little the companies who run these games seem to do in response to these kinds of things, weather on purpose, or because they can't figure out how to solve the problem. Valorant seems like the only game who's devs care enough to try and seriously solve these kinds of issues

Great informative vid.

Thanks for great 👍❤ reasearch.

i havent played this game in years and i finally come back to see cheaters beaming me with one mag everywhere, so sad

7000+ bought in last month is gross, companys need to gang up n sue em till they cant make em

You could see the Valkyrie just before in the air she seen him on the scan haha

Thanks man.

Never knew the cheat but I have had people find me a good bit of times and definitely shouldn’t know I’m there. It’s all freaking annoying. I’m not a master rat but I do my best to solo play because majority of ransoms I get suck. I only about 3 percent of the time get players of my skill level and also benefit from actually using there mic . Most only speak am when they die and say how crap I am when they leave it’s sad how things are on apex but still for the moment ill continue playing it

2:01 Hello, James

I've hid in places after my teams died that no way anyone would of known I was there YET somehow 3 stack preds will instantly sniff me out even though I'm not moving or switching weapons....ANYTHING. I have screenshots of giant pros that somehow found me ratting? Ain't no way a lot of the time these mofos knew where I was unless they have wallhacks or some kinda cheat. I've always suspected most of them are cheating in some way to stay ahead of the pack.

I use a chronus zen to play keyboard and mouse on a xbox to play certain games with my friends that dont have a pc. Because i developed a condition with my right thumb that freezes up when i play using the analog. Am i a cheater trying to play with my friends?

nah what that dma method is genuinely insane

Liked and subbed

Cheating in video games is now so accessible that I think most of us have resolved to the point of accepting it. Because anyone can buy physical mods, accounts, and/or softwares to cheat, the issue is worse now than it's ever been and because the smartest way for Devs to ban cheaters is to wait and do it in waves (keeps cheaters from figuring out how anti-cheat systems caught their software/hardware and flagged it for cheating), we really only get 1-2 good weeks of game here and there before they are all right back on the servers. It sucks butts, but honestly I think our only option is to just report people when we notice, and pay attention to when ban wave updates drop.

Yeah ive had sus situations like that valk all too often. Im the last one standing out of all ny friends who used to play, and its only more painful to play solo.

Okay i check for rats too...but the valk def looked like she knew hes there lol

This is why I quit seasons ago. Me and my pubs in casual got demolished by a predator with a badge over 11,000 Wins. I did the math, and it just wasn't mathing, so I quit.

Most of this should apply to any shooter out there right now, or am I wrong?

2 out of 3 casual games are now mod lobbies so self evident. My only concern is though they are trying ti call it a free to play game as soon as money has changed hands it is apaid for service that should be subject to all the regular consumer protections. A corrupted lobby might be argued to be a faulty product that should be replaced or refunded, most consumer protection laws dont allow for faulty products to be sold at all. No revenue stream no apex?

I am so happy you made this video because ive been saying it for the past 3 seasons. But thank you for clarifying because I just called out 4 youtubers for this then asked to explain the aim mechanics they used and they couldn't. They just started talking crap. And I was shocked because they make content on KZfaq and if your gonna do that be professional if you get called out and asked to explain what mechanics you used to aim in a game that requires it don't start talking crap own up to it. It just make you look unprofessional. Am I right what's your opinion on that.

I've been saying people were doing this since season 9 when i stopped playing consistently.

He only caught a few people, he never scrolled down in the cheater cord so idk what to think tbh.

The cheating problems also extends to other games such as rust console

I quit playing last month, and it makes me sad cause I've been playing since day 1 and i used to really enjoy this game. Now its just a giant headache.
