Apex Legends dev confirms \u201ca lot\u201d of anti-cheat improvements coming soon Respawn EntertainmentRespawn Entertainment\u2019s Conor \u2018Hideouts\u2019 Ford has confirmed that Apex Legends will receive a number of improvements to its anti-cheat systems in the \u201cvery near future.\u201d Despite the impressive popularity of Apex Legends \u2013 hitting 100 million players in 2021 \u2013 it has struggled to overcome issues posed by hackers and cheaters. While other battle royales, like Warzone, have been regularly criticized for their failure to combat cheating, Apex has faired slightly better. It is still a work in progress though, with hackers fairly common, especially in high-level games. However, speaking on April 30, Respawn\u2019s Security Analyst Conor Ford (better known as Hideouts), confirmed that changes are in the offing for Apex Legends\u2019 anti-cheat measures. https:\/\/twitter.com\/PlayApex\/status\/1382378457808699396?s=20 Hideouts was in the Twitch stream of Apex streamer Christian \u2018Nokokopuffs\u2019 Feliciano when he confirmed that improvements will be coming very soon to Apex Legends\u2019 anti-cheat system. \u201cWe have a lot of improvements coming for anti-cheat in the very near future,\u201d he said. Unfortunately, he didn\u2019t qualify when the \u201cvery near future\u201d is, but it doesn\u2019t seem likely to be with the Season 9 update, for which we\u2019ve finally got our hands on some complete patch notes. Hideouts did not specify on the form the anti-cheat improvements would take either. Many hoped that it would improve Respawn\u2019s ability to identify and punish DDoS abusers. This has proved itself to be a frustratingly common offense recently, with YouTuber WaterGotHim reportedly banned for DDoSing in Apex Legends Ranked matches. Respawn have also said that they will be willing to take legal action in the most serious cases.
