Imagine being so bad at video games you have to cheat to make someone else you’ll never see in real life think you’re good.

I stopped playing altogether. Literally costing the game millions

EA could face a class action lawsuit if some clever streamers decided to read the TOS.

I’m a dad that plays this game with his sons, I’ve played since season one. 21seasons that’s 63 battle passes several heirlooms. I’m about done playing this game because it’s not enjoyable anymore for this very reason. Good on you Zeus for making this video.

Zeus doing commentary on ALGS would be epic

I’m on console now having played only solos. I also have had a 22 kill game so far. I’m convinced upwards of 70% of console “good players” are all on zens or xim whatever it’s called. I can tell you how many people I’m forced to spectate for a brief time have zero recoil over and over and over again. AND I KNOW ITS POSSIBLE TO BE GREAT AT IT, but not perfect every clip. the amount of casual grinders that need to either get banned or go pro is astonishing.

This is almost any FPS online these days… even XDefiant has wall hackers ruining the game already. The industry is doomed.

These dudes really put a 2nd currency in the game to sell more skins lmfao

Yeah this shit is sad. The new events are basically gambling and the cheating got so bad I don’t understand how this is so bad

I've always supported South Korean Laws when it comes to gaming. Link your SSN, Hacking/cheating is punishable by jail.

Bro, as a community of avid gamers and people that love playing we appreciate you being bold and unafraid to call out the corruption and problems that are ruining the game for so many of us. Hats off to you brother! Love the vids, keep it up.

Meanwhile I was permanently banned by EA by saying Rat in the game chat, what a joke this has become.

This is one of the reasons why I stopped playing Apex. The cheating is so bad that I legit think this game is now trash and Respawn/EA doesn't care.

Thank you for bringing attention to this issue with your platform, Zeus. We love this game and want to see it flourish, so thank you on behalf of the community!

You know the game has a cheater problem when they don't even try to hide it anymore

Zeus you should be an official commentary calling out cheaters mid game

Stopped playing any fps competitively. Cheating is too much these days.

I have 14k hours in over multiple fps games. Quitting is the best decision I have made. I always seem to hit that level of gaming where the skill gap jumps from 0 to a 100.

8:30 there was literally only one person saying he was cheating lmfao

Thanks for taking this up. So sick of cheats in every fkn game

make a database for verified people (ID/passport check), add verified ranked to every shooter in existence. banned in one game = banned in all games

Why you do Verhulst like that 🤣

Finally subbed to your channel, more or less because YT kinda stopped showing/recommending me your videos for about a year+ now (I'm lucky this video here even showed up for me now at this momen at all, to remind me of that!), I remember watching tons of your videos before (mostly the "tbag the TTVs" series lol), so I wanna be able to keep up with your content way more now. But the bigger reason why I'm subbing is because, you tell only what needs to be heard - the truth! I very much appreciate that. Hope all is well with you, my dude. Have a wonderful day/evening and the rest of the week!

Hi zeus. Thanks for shedding light on this issue as its a real eye opener, really. I last played apex a few days ago and it was the worst experience in any shooters I've played. My aim training feels like an absolute waste of time compared to other shooters that I i play...a sign to just never boot this up again.

Deleted apex. Terrible randoms that die on drop, cheaters plaguing the game and greed just ruined it for me.

Bro I literally bought a PS5 so I could play ranked and avoid the cheaters but it’s even worse on console with the 6 and 9 manning

They need to get rid of chronus zen on console it’s ridiculous cheating is just as bad on console

FPS in general, is infested with cheaters, reverse boosters, 2 boxing, etc. All thanks to the cheat engine owners making big bucks and ruining the gaming experience. I also blame the cheaters purchasing their cheats.

I hope this video gets the biggest traction in the best way!!! Thank you Zeus for your hard work putting this together 🙏

I know a few other of my friends just straight up stopped playing the game, genuinely gotta do literally anything rather than sitting on their ass doing fuck all. We’ve seen multiple instances of cheaters literally streaming and not being banned for a long while. There has to be some way to fix this from the devs

I've always said since the early Apex seasons that all these people are watching these fake tournaments with fake preds. Glad Zeus is finally pointing it out. And it only keeps happening because EA is turning a blind eye to all the cheating going on with all these "pros" because it brings in the money.

Not watched you in a while Zeus, was not expecting to see your face but it was a nice surprise. 😅👌🏻🤘🏻

Sure they COULD fix that but I think they are busy on the next $300 heirloom for the cheaters

EA, Activision, Blizzard, Ubisoft,... all these giant game dev corp are now full of greedy goons sitting on top of the management ladder and they don't have a single clue of what gaming is about. All they care is money, quick and easy, not through bringing values to players but quick cash grab cosmetic bullshit. I'm not buy battlepass from this season onwards and also not touching the game for the next few seasons until they do something about the cheating in this game.

its actually horrendeous. played for the first time in 3 months last night. literally ran into a cheater in every game i played, even in gun run

Calling a cheater "bad" means absolutely nothing to them. They could not care less about it.

At this point I feel like respawn doesn't even care anymore

My squad had noticed this season were really not having fun. Playing had become a chore and difficult. We're masters level usually but are hard stuck in gold 1 lol. I find it hard to believe the average player base is that good now. I think it's just full of cheaters. Shame

The kill cam that they added has been SO helpful in deciding if someone is just really good at the game or cheating

Imagine not understanding your net code to the point that all clients are getting broadcast the final zone from the jump

they need to figure out a way to IP ban & block VPN usage as a workaround, then once the cheater gets caught once, he/she's done for

"What happened to the game I love?" -Mark Jackson

Thanks for bringing this to light😂 I stopped playing for a while.

It's like watching a powerlifting competition where everybody is roided out of their minds

I totally agree that It's all about the $$$. I haven't spent money on the game for 3 seasons and I'm sure I get terrible matchmaking because of it. EA are like, you don't give us money then we'll just give you shit team mates! I played a few hours in pubs last weekend and was dying to 3 stacks with 100k kills between them and my team mates were lvl 5's and 7's! After 100 games of trios and solos this season I have a kd of .3 lol. I used to be top pc fuse in AU ffs and it used to be fun and fair until they fcked the matchmaking system and then let every tom dick and harry cheat! Good video, Zeus! Spot on as usual!

new anti cheat idea: hardware bans.

I’m soooooo glad Zeus used his voice to call out what people have been saying playing casual for a long time.

This has been going on for about the last 15 seasons. No point in playing against majority of players having perks over you, defeats the object of playing.

I don't have brain damage so I don't cheat, but I genuinely can't even fathom what would be remotely fun about cheating, especially in a game like Apex. People wonder why I don't move to pc from console & this is one of the biggest reasons why. Sweats are annoying enough, I don't want to contend with cheaters too.

Meanwhile I bought 3 heirlooms back at Apex's height because I genuinely loved the game but then logged in one day and my like 300K+ Legend tokens were wiped to 0. Even after talking with like 6 different EA support Agents I got 0 help. I literally told them to just look at my account level and the weapon skins I have. It would be physically impossible for me to have less than like 200K tokens even I owned every single alt skin and legend but they still wouldn't help at all. Totally lost all motivation to play after that.

brother did you have to do even that dirty and have him in the thumbnail?!

Man, I'm glad someone is talking about this shit. I gave up after the season they first added the rank up challenges/promos after solo grinding to the gold/diamond promo. Not just Apex though, I've just given up on multiplayer online gaming. It's just not worth the frustration anymore trying to keep up with wallers/botters/etc. This is supposed to be a way to relax after getting our asses kicked all day at work and instead we're just fodder for no-lifer streamers and cheaters. It's just not fun and fair competition anymore, it's a slog through shit.

Game devs make the hacks sell them then do the banning after awhile my own two cents on cheats

I think that EA is in a bad spot with this issue. If they ban all the cheaters, they will propably lose 70% of their players and income coming from them. If they dont ban them, they will lose all of the legit players and content creators bringing in big money. So i think they just made a choice of raising their hands in the air and saying "well, lets see what happens"

I love tuning in to Zeus News ⚡

Mighty Zeus! 😂 Great video!

I love how apex players refuse to put blame on Respawn.

Let's go zeus

Rev had the serious disposition about that light mag 😂

its funny that nobody is talking abt console cheaters at all

Any game that embeds aim assist in cross platform play does not care about the quality of competition but instead the bottom line. That mentality makes it clear why these cheaters are permitted to play

Zues looking like a stud over here looking brother 🙏 great content keep it up 🎉

im not playing apex until all my other steam library game's main story is finished

Apex is never going to get better on PC. People who think there's hope need to abandon it quickly. I swapped to console and while there are teamers, there aren't very many of them - even in Solos. I've had more fun playing on PS5 than all of my time on PC combined. PS5 and Series X have 120fps framerates and good visuals, too. Also, to all the regarded people out there: Unless your friends on PC join your lobby (or vice-versa) you won't encounter PC players.

Snake move putting Verlhulst in the thumbnail. Clickbait or not.

I got mad respect for you zeus you are the ONLY creator that doesn't really complain and bitch about cheaters you just give us the facts and solutions to the problems at hand

That Mirage at the end reminds me of Winter Express. I miss that mode

Think about this. EA has an employee "unkowingly leak" data, or open the code to a hacker. They develop the cheats, sell them. Gives EA a slice. EA lets them in the servers. They both profit.

54 seconds and no views? Fell off

zeus wouah it's been so long i didn't heard about u or seen your videos

The man, the myth, the legend-Zeus! Been a while!

great vid.... keep up the excellent work :) (Love from London)

Zeus and Mande squad would be chaos

Also, there is a bunch of videos on youtube advertising cheats on Apex. With quotes like "75% off link in description" and youtube isn't doing anything about it. Had to quit playing apex until this is fixed. Extremely sad. I'm more then willing to send you or anyone interested these video links. All from this season. Great video.

I don’t even play BR or ranked anymore and yet I still run into cheaters on mixtape and I find myself playing less and less of Apex altogether! It’s beyond lame.

Thank you for finally bringing this to light man... I thought I was going crazy, it feels like everyone is cheating. I used to really enjoy this game, and I want to love it again... now I just keep playing knowing im going to die right away, hoping the next game will be evenly matched.

So, what you are saying is that if I buy the 180$ Heirloom my account that has everything on it will get unbanned? I only wrote "F@@k" each time I got micro-banned.

Great video! I hope someone takes action, thanks for doing your part

This is ridiculous, keep dropping these vids man people need to see this shit

Zeus rolling up on 1million subs! lets goo!!!!

Played a game yesterday where a mirage respawned himself while my team was actively gunfighting his two teammates. The cheats are absolutely crazy these days 😂

I was masters seasons 17-19 and season 20 had so many cheaters I couldn’t do it. Stopped playing because it’s so bad now.

It would be cool to see the game improve with less cheaters. I would also love to see a cool out there adjustment of being able to have the characters hold the guns lefty

Zeus Journalist arc going crazy

Yeah i was heavy into this game for awhile, the higher rank I got the more cheaters I ran into. I quit a year ago, and seeing this video come out 3 days ago just insures I wont come back.

Even in plat lobbies you see them, my buddy threw down a Seer ult and got perfectly mirrored by a dude who knew his exact movement. Also got beamed/clipped by a dude riding a zip rail lmao.

Yesterday, I had a full team of cheaters who were on ttv streaming it. They had the balls to say we were ass when they deliberately cheated, wiping us.

thank you for making this man

You're fighting the good fight Zeus. Thank you

I'm just gonna say it, if counter strike can't fix their cheater issues (a billion dollar company btw) Then Apex Legends has no hope..

This video was suuuper insightful, thanks.

knowing I hit masters in a sea of cheaters feels kinda good ngl

As if pro players getting hacked mid tournament wasn't enough

Genuine speaking, I feel like even if they were to fix their issues with the cheaters it’s been happening for so long nobody would even want to give it a chance

i haven't played for multiple seasons now. i had a lot of fun playing with my friends but got sick of the crap for sure. here's to hoping it gets better and i can come back!

When the new season drops they always change the opening credits to the game and the respawn logo. Ive figured out that this is how we can tell ea has given up on this game by how much effort was put into the respawn logo.

I am so glad you are talking about this! More people should be talking about this! It’s crazy how bad the cheating is. For example, I’m on PC now, and I came from console. Now people on console, NEVER get banned. People can’t hack on console, but they do cheat using a zen. ALL the top Preds except for the top Preds I played cheat. They all zen. EA can get away with never banning them because the console players spend so much money, and can just cheat away with nothing to worry about because console doesn’t have any well known players or streamers to get everyone’s attention and make EA look bad. And since I’ve switched to PC, it’s insane how many people are cheating. I think a lot more people are cheating than we know!

I'd assume there needs to be an automatic "lockdown" of the app when it detects a spoofer.

Big waltzy with the verbal gotta respect that guy what a legend

Thank you the truth needs to be heard it's literally bad I got to play with people that don't know how to play the game it's worse playing with people that are better than me and always leave me to die then dealing with the cheaters is the ice in on the cake
