Apex Legends clamps down on teamers ruining ranked play Respawn EntertainmentRespawn Entertainment have banned top-ranked Apex Legends players on Xbox who were found \u2018teaming\u2019 in the competitive playlist, extending the devs\u2019 hard-line approach to cheaters. [jwplayer GCL7xjyu] Teamers have been prevalent in Apex since the game\u2019s launch. While the war against cheaters has been ongoing, Respawn have shown they\u2019re not afraid to swing the ban hammer once reports start to get out of hand. For the people who have poured hundreds of hours into the battle royale to reach some of the highest echelons of the Rank ladder, the devs won\u2019t think twice about banning you if you\u2019re caught obstructing Apex\u2019s competitive integrity. Respawn security team member Conor \u2018Hideouts\u2019 Ford has been slamming cheaters of all types with hardware bans, among others, and let over a dozen players know they had their last day on their respective Apex accounts. \u201cTo the 14 Xbox players who were teaming in high-level Ranked, I hope your time off is more fulfilling and well spent than what you were doing in Apex lol,\u201d Hideouts said. For those unaware, teaming is the simple act of coordinating with people outside of your squad. While there isn\u2019t any third-party software or extra application in use that cheat detection would pick up, it\u2019s still highly against the framework of a battle royale. People have teamed since the start of the game to complete challenges, unlock prestigious rewards, and secure incredibly easy wins to add to their record. If there was ever a doubt that teaming with your friends would result in a ban, Hideouts and co. spare no bans if they get a report with evidence to the infraction. To the 14 Xbox players who were teaming in high-level Ranked, I hope your time off is more fulfilling and well spent than what you were doing in Apex lol \u2764\ufe0f\ud83d\udd28 \u2014 Conor Ford \/ Hideouts (@RSPN_Hideouts) December 2, 2020 As Season 7 ramps up through its holiday festivities, Respawn have been really keen on cleaning up the game from every kind of cheater under the sun. Whether you\u2019re trying to be slick and get away with some light cheating or broadcasting your errant ways on Twitch, the Apex devs have a pretty solid record of tracking down people violating the rules. As long as Apex Legends has cheaters, the devs will continue to be active in community threads and direct Cheater Report channels to sift out the bad actors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
