Apex Legends dev confirms fix coming for Pred lobby \u2018stream-sniping\u2019 exploit Respawn EntertainmentAn Apex Legends developer has confirmed that a fix is on the way for an exploit that allows Bronze players to sneak into Pred lobbies and stream-snipe their favorite players. Apex Legends has dealt with all kinds of cheaters in the past. Despite working harder than ever before, it\u2019s a problem that Respawn can\u2019t seem to get completely under control. That doesn\u2019t mean that they\u2019re not trying though. One of the most used exploits in recent memory is one that allows freshly made accounts to sneak into high-ranked lobbies without ever climbing the ranked ladder. While this wouldn\u2019t be so much of a problem if it were happening on accident and a noob was occasionally tossed into the deep end, in the hands of the a capable cheater, it causes some major collateral damage. Now, the devs are ready to tackle it. Apex Legends dev comments on Predator lobby matchmaking exploit While talking to pro player and former #1 Apex Predator HisWattson on Twitter, Apex\u2019s Security lead let the community know that they\u2019re aware of how game-breaking this kind of behavior can be. He wasn\u2019t quite ready to say when exactly a fix would be on the way, but he did mention that the team is looking into it and that it might not be a problem that the pros have to deal with for too long. \u201cI can say that the bronze issue is currently being worked on as well so hopefully you won\u2019t be seeing that soon,\u201d he said. I think it\u2019s also fair to keep in mind that we didn\u2019t have the team that we have now during all of that. I can say that the bronze issue is currently being worked on as well so hopefully you won\u2019t be seeing that soon \u2014 Conor Ford \/ Hideouts (@RSPN_Hideouts) June 25, 2022 The reason this exploit is such a big deal is that it allows anyone who has been banned before to largely bypass the intended penalties of losing their account. Not only does that mean they can jump right back in and start terrorizing more lobbies, but it also makes it easier to hunt specific players at the highest level of the game. Like in HisWattson\u2019s case, one \u201cspeed hacking\u201d Gibraltar was successfully able to land on him multiple games in a row, making it impossible to play the game as normal and also draining hundreds of RP along the way. It will likely still be a while before this fix does land in the game but we\u2019ll be sure to keep up with the latest updates as they come.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
