Apex Legends ban wave wipes out Predator players abusing Ranked exploit Respawn EntertainmentAn Apex Legends ban wave has hit cheaters abusing exploits to climb the Ranked ladder in battle royale and Arenas, including a total of 71 Predator players.

Whether it\u2019s third-party software, exploits, or DDoSing entire servers, Respawn is constantly battling to keep matches balanced and fair for the community. Although Apex uses the Easy-anti cheat system to automatically detect players using hacks, it normally requires someone to manually ban players abusing exploits. Well, that\u2019s exactly what\u2019s happened recently, with a ban wave hitting hackers and exploiters that included a huge amount of Predator players.
