EA needs to stop using the free version of easy anticheat

The new season has made high elo lobbies very competitive, and the main thing that’s done for me is make me realize how many cheaters there actually are. They were doing manual bans near the beginning of the split and some of my pred games would have 5+ people get banned. Many of which I recognized and had died to multiple times already. Wouldn’t be surprised if matchmaking gets turned down again just so cheaters will be more spread out and people think there’s less of them.

What we really need is a gaming vigilante like Batman. Where he enters cheaters homes in the middle of the night and severs their arms for cheating.

You’d think tampering with a billion dollar company’s product like this, affecting people who pay money for the product in a negative way, would be punished legally.

And not even three weeks later, we have pro players getting hacked and having cheats applied during a pro event.

This is really good stuff. Didn’t realize cheats were on this level.

Respawn needs to allow hosting game servers yourself, just like in the old days. Where you can admin your own (passworded) server, and create a community around it.

Why are you the only one talking about this. We need to send this video to Bobz and other creators so they can spread awareness too. You need more subscribers because this is gold content and yet not a lot of views or subscribers

This needs way more views

How ironic is Crypto in this entire thing... "I'm going to break the game"

I played a ton of S18, but skipped S19 as I was burnt out. I came back for S20, and have been loving it....until I hit Gold recently. I was lucky enough to wait for the higher skilled players to get to the ranks they deserve, but as soon as I approached the Gold ranks, I started noticing more and more cheaters killing me and my friends, many of whom are high Plats and Diamond ranks. Granted, I do not see anywhere near the amount that Pred lobbies see, but every rank I go up the numbers increase. I now make a habit of recording my gameplay and habitually reading over the Death Recap and spectating my killers if I think anything weird happened. For example, yesterday I got killed by some solo player who was ratting in the weirdest spot I have ever seen on Olympus, and he killed me with a Volt by doing 129 dmg in 9 SHOTS with NO ATTACHMENTS. My squad was able to kill him, but the short clip I saw of him clearly showed an aimbot. This was in a high tier Gold and Plat lobby, so just imagine what it is like as you approach Diamond/Masters. This season has everything it needed to be a great one, but EA and Respawn's failure to solve the cheater problem is going to kill this game, and I feel bad for the devs who made the amazing changes happen for S20, bc all their hard work is going down the drain. I'm on PC, and from what I hear the cheating problem is even worse on Consoles.

EA needs to invest into a cyber security team/ cyber defensive team.

Crazy editing this def deserves more views

This is incredibly well done for how small of a channel this is. You gained another sub ❤

I am watching this video after today's apex cheating blunder 😝😝😝😂😂

Currently uploading Road to Pred and yeah this game is raunchy asf. Cs2 has the same problem. What's really crazy though is that these kids will actually try to gaslight you and do their little song and dance emote routine as if they actually shit on you when they're clearly running Panda or use a Strike/Zen. Thank you so much for helping bring more attention to this.

Thank you so much for covering this, so sick of these dirtbags

This is hilarious in a sad way. Basically the NA servers are now exactly how the JP servers have been oh so many seasons. Japanese pro players STILL play with 160+ ping on the NA servers because there are fewer cheaters there. Regarding the anti cheat it's impossible to win this with client side solutions, not to mention that those often come with some serious security and privacy concerns. What we need is good server side anti cheat and a way to make it more difficult to register new accounts (like linking them to a credit card, id etc). No system is perfect and there would still be cheaters but it would at least be much better than what it is now. It's actually kind of amazing how you right now can cheat for months, the servers allow you to do things that should not be impossible (impossible aim, impossible movement), nothing is detected and reports are ignored, and then if you eventually get banned you can just register a new account and be back in a few minutes. EA will probably keep doing nothing, simply milking the game for as much money as they can while it slowly dies and then shut down the servers when the profit margin is no longer large enough to satisfy their investors.

Yooo i like your content good to see u uploading

Highest quality Video about apex i seen in a while please keep up the content❤

quality video, really good analysis on it all. your style of content gives me disrupt tv vibes, definitely coming back for more :D

As someone that's been playing FPS games for 20+ years I can tell that pretty much 50% of my lobbies have people walling

I've heard pros talking about how when they play ranked offstream on a different account they run into way more cheaters, I've also had my teammate get targeted repeatedly every game by a bunch of random cheaters, they would esp straight to her, kill her, then just run away usually leaving me and our other teammate alive. seeing as you can very easily closet cheat, you can cheat without getting detected, and you can almost entirely avoid manual bans by not fighting streamers and pros, pred lobbies are unnecessarily difficult for legit players

you deserve more bro

30-50% of all online servers and lobbies have cheaters now. That's how big the ego vs skill issue is.

The relationship better hackers and gamers never ceases to amaze me

def see you got a style you're working on developing, excited to see the direction you take

Moch, this video is so well done! Keep grinding man, you're doing great!

I am consistently seeing cheaters with strike packs, scrips, wall hacks and aimbot more than ever in Apex. The worse thing is that they have 3 plus predator badges and haven't been banned. That means they have been cheating do 9 plus months without punishment.

can wait for EA to drop the $480 anti-cheat collection event where you get put into normal lobbies after buying all 24 items

binge watching this channel right now lol this feels premium

Good vids bro, can you explain Apex Cola to those of us who aren't as tech savvy? When I google it, there seem to be alot of people selling cheats under this name. Is this still an active exploit? Doesn't seem as hidden as the other cheating avenues you mentioned in earlier vids.

Fire video bro

Good work on this. Definitely subbed🔥

oh well this is awkward

Good, informative video. To try and answer the final question, I genuinely think they will take action in the following months to counter the problem. The game is set to have a lifespan of 10yrs according to some dev itw. If they want to keep their scene and cc/pro players, they WILL have to take action quick, otherwise the next good FPS will instantly absorb what’s left of this community (cf. Valorant, The Finals when it released)

Very nice video, the editing is top notch. Very smooth and not too long, keep it up can def see 100k subs in the near future :)

One true solution to cheating for any game ever would be for Sony and Xbox to create a console that allows true mouse n keyboard gaming at 240hz and to constantly update the systems so people can’t jailbreak them and play online

Liked and subbed, as a veteran apex player I agree! playing highly ranked games nowdays only at D3+ level feels so illfull

nice vid bro i was entertained all the way through

This aged very well with recent hacking drama

Very informative video, you are one of the few people who actually seem to care about the state in which this game is in, something most players and even content creators are not

We need a kernel level anti cheat, like the most intrusive shit ever at this point

I think the hard truth is that competitive integrity can never be guaranteed in PC online gaming.

You can never prevent cheaters on PC, it was never meant to be a multiplayer gaming platform (devlopment only) Xbox has a locked bootloader, no point spending big $$$ on PC if you like multiplayer. It's hillarious to anyone who understands how computers work that you expect this to ever change. Plug your MnK into an xbox, turn off cross-play and find out how good you really are/aren't

Anti-cheats will never be able to ban hardware cheats unless the cheater is being very obvious

Perfect timing 😂

Damn the editing 👀

This is A professional quality video for such a small channel

It isn't just Apex having this issue. It's the FPS genre in general. People will always be scummy no matter what. They will take the shortest route to feeling like they're "good" at the game without putting in the time to learn anything. I genuinely believe that we need an anti-cheat that can look at inputs and behavior with deep learning.

What a fantastic and informative video. I have been gaming since the days of the NES when I was just old enough to hold the controller! Now I have twin sons who are better than me at gaming 😹 Over the years though, when playing online, I have noticed many "suspect" players. I knew cheating online was a thing but I never knew how lucrative it was. I remember when the first Call of Duty back in '03 used Punkbuster Anti Cheat and it was pretty good as a deterrent to cheaters / hackers. It's such a shame that people sink to these depths just to win and ruin everyone else's experience. I really wish that something can be done to combat this (but I don't hold out much hope) Thank you again for this video

This needs to blow up

Someone save us

During your research how widespread would you say this problem is on Console? Or does it only target pc lobbies?

really good video

It's not like they aren't trying to ban the cheaters. They banned 72 preds and masters yesterday, including two preds in top 50. It's just about preventing that these people can play the game in the first place

Good research and video, man.

They just (early last year?) stood up a new studio to develop/play test content for Apex Legends. I'd wager that the content we've seen in the last two seasons (19/20) is likely their efforts/contributions coming to fruition; furthermore, they've released back to back solutions for long awaited capabilities (cross progression and next generation) while also addressing the terrible rank situation and ring healers/exploiters(stuff along the lines of farming badges). I believe this may be (fingers crossed) a new development tempo and I'm hoping over the next few seasons we'll see additional improvements/systems/investing to solve other long standing issues (like audio, netcode, and cheating).. 🤷‍♂a person can dream... lol

I love this game and this season but unfortunately this is by far the worst that cheating has ever been since I’ve started playing the game hopefully something can be done thanks for this amazing video and shedding light on this situation

please provide links to the music used in the video

"I guess, the question now is.... Where did everything all start?" **Camera slowly pans and zooms into the cat** 👀

This also goes ALOT DEEPER and I would LOVE to give you my insight on a video. I have been around on the game since season 3. I hung around boosters a couple Season ago because my irl friends became boosters but I would LOVE to give you info. I have 1.8k subs just so uk I'm not bullshizzin.

EA shouldn't ban cheaters. They should put all of them in a lobby together and just let all the cheaters play with each other

I think that this is only going to get worse, to be completely honest. There are now thousands of game developers with bills, no income, and good reason to hold a grudge against some of these companies.

Like the vid but I see no point in blocking the url the first time when we can see the url in ur browser after lol

Rip Modern day multiplayer gaming, Ai winning

He gives the vibe of "its over" like guys this company dont care they probably got people on the inside getting paid for this shit

This is really entertaining, big thumbs up

we need more content creator like u for more information . nice video

Probably a “zero-day” cheat. For the super exclusive cheater club. That why it haven’t been detected yet

Really well made video. Glad The gaming Merchant reacted to it.

Once you realize how many cheaters there are (whether its soft x-ray, scripting, Zen, Strike, Panda, etc. you get it) you'll understand why guys like Bobz, Thordan, Jankz don't talk about this more. Its bad for business. If half of your audience are fking cheaters you probably won't want to talk about it how awful it is as much. That's just my cynic brain though.

Its not just the aimbots and other obvious cheats, etc What annoys me the most is the wallhackers

we need to make the VHS filter illegal fr

You need to get a class action lawsuit going against Respawn/EA, but gamers won't do it. They are selling a knowingly broken product, that is a scam.

My highlight is being on the hitlist

Great video production.

You want to stop cheaters? Make EA take action? Become that cheater. Find whatever way to gift people Apex Packs just like that one cheater did with Hal but do it to a massive amount of people. EA will not let that pass as this is direct money loss for them. You will likely get banned, you will likely get sued if they find out. But that would be the 100% foolproof way to make EA care; hurt their wallet.

You can guess if a company management has a low quality culture by the fact that an hidden ragequit ranking hasn't been introduced in order to match together people that respect their team and don't insta quit when downed. It hasn't been done in 5 years, the company has a very low quality culture inside of it so cheating will never been tackled in a serious way

Great work exposing this issue. Keep up the hard work, your content shows!

I've been an fps gamer for 15 years. I've seen many different waves of cheating across many titles over the years. It's never been like it is now cheating is the mainstream and nothing is being done about it. I think we are at or nearing a breaking point.

Clean your mic bro

I think the best way to fight cheater from company perspective is, do not make the game free. So when someone want to cheat and got banned, they need to buy the game again and again. Make it free mean they have nothing to lose, so why not try using it. For example is PUBG, when the game is not free, its really rare to see anyone using cheat. But now when its free, you can see them on every single lobby.

Someone speaking truth and im all for it....... Bro this video is a absolute banger. Protect homie at All Costs!

I'm from Brazil and on my country's servers this season there are many hackers appearing with their nicknames all in Chinese using aimbot. In 5 years of playing the game I had never seen a hack in matches and this season things are getting worse respawn/EA needs to do something

So what I’m-getting from this video is focus on reverse engineering games like apex while doing computer science and make cheats so I can make boohoo bux’s?

why is the resolution weird

if this doesn't blow up soon the algorithm is broken.

amazing content, new sub here. keep it going dude

Cheats are being created by the developers themselves, or the companies producing the games. You cant convince me otherwise.

Has a Titanfall 2 player i see this has a absolut win

I have not played Apex since watson was released, downloaded apex for the first time in forever last night first game got in to a lobby with someone rage hacking. I play call of duty, so I’m used to people cheating with ESP and things of that sort But it seems no matter what game you play nowadays it is getting out of hand. For my fellow xbox players In the settings you can block cross platform play in your account settings on the xbox forcing the game to put you against only console players this works for cod as well as Apex Legends

Three ways to demotivate cheating: 1. Hosting private lobbies for you and your friends only 2. Crowdfund a team of programmers and engineers to design a game LOOSELY based on COD, making fun of the hackers and corporate using silly easter eggs in the game 3. Crowdfund a team of programmers to strip the game down to its bare essentials and have it work only on a Private LAN. Of course, last option isn't a good idea due to copyright but if you were able to design a war game similar to Warzone or COD that at least 100k ppl would play, COD would lose their customers and clients, leaving them with rooms filled with cheaters that have no real incentives to actual play the game 😎

This video need to get viral! 😢

Could they make an anticheat that if any other program is runnin in the backround the game wont load .. the game can be the only program running

There is only one way to combat cheaters now, and that is to allow gamers to once again host their own games entirely. This brings its own problems in that over zealous game admins can sometimes ruin community fun but its far better than the current situation.

Thank you for exposing these jackasses, this is main reason i went back to single player games. Time to finish Ninja on the PS1.

high quality video , keep it up

Subscription model cheats is WILD.

I swear bro I was loving the game then on Thursday the the 15th feb just cheater after cheater walling or aim bot it’s like a switch got clicked or the devs stopped doing something
