Apex Legends fans slam \u201cgarbage\u201d anti-cheat after embarrassing hacker clip Respawn EntertainmentApex Legends has been targeted by hackers over the last few months and despite Respawn Entertainment\u2019s anti-cheat efforts, it only seems to be getting worse. Apex has seen a lot of turbulence over the last month, in particular. Whether it\u2019s been an influx of cheaters, the extended server issues that plagued the game after update 10.3, or the revolving door of problems that is Wattson\u2019s ultimate, some fans are starting to reach the end of their wits. A new clip over on the game\u2019s subreddit shows off exactly how easy it is for hackers to ruin an entire lobby, even if they\u2019re not very good at the game. Although this doesn\u2019t represent anything we didn\u2019t already know about hacking in video games, seeing it with your own eyes only makes it feel worse. Respawn recently made significant additions to their security team to stop things like this from happening, but it hasn\u2019t seemed to change the state of the game just yet. Apex Legends anti-cheat comes under fire from dedicated players In this clip, on World\u2019s Edge, a Pathfinder \u2013 who has only reached level player level 3 \u2013 decimates a team in a fight outside on the highway outside of Fragment. After winning the first fight, they take off towards an unsuspecting solo and eliminate them before moving on and eventually winning the game without using a single ability. It\u2019s clear that tension is escalating in the game\u2019s community, as several players have already suggested boycotting Apex Legends until major changes are made. While that may not happen anytime soon, Respawn could be dealing with an exodus if things don\u2019t start to trend upwards soon. One commenter highlighted how Apex\u2019s anti-cheat initiative is not doing enough, saying that it\u2019s pushing her away from the game: \u201cI, personally, came seeking this very thing today. I played last night and I\u2019m over it,\u201d she said. \u201cI came really close to deleting my game last night. I\u2019m tired of the cheaters and the people who never move from the spawn so no matter how well I do, we still lose.\u201d Many others in the thread seemed to echo that sentiment, and another acknowledged how reporting players has not been effective at deterring them in the past. Another user said: \u201cThe thing that bothers me the most about this is just how blatant it really is\u2026 he\u2019s level three, with a 4K, and 20 bomb. This dude is so unashamed because he knows that nothing is going to happen to him.\u201d If Respawn isn\u2019t able to get the hacking problem under control, the long-term effects could prove disastrous for the game\u2019s future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
