Apex Legends players exposed for \u201cteaming\u201d to get rare 4K Damage badge Respawn EntertainmentPlayers have noticed a growing trend in Apex Legends, with some people \u201cteaming\u201d in order to obtain the highly sought-after 4K Damage badge. Respawn Entertainment loaded their battle royale with a ton of badges for players to unlock, but the particularly challenging Wrath Level 4 badges require someone to deal 4,000 damage in a single game. Since they are specific to every Legend, they\u2019re colloquially known as \u201c4k badges.\u201d The badge demands someone to get super aggro from the very start of a game, since even a match-winning team can have players topping out at only 2500 damage or below. However, the fanbase has been noticing \u201c4K badges lately, often on average skilled players,\u201d which started to raise some eyebrows. A couple of recorded instances have surfaced online, in which a player\u2019s squad is \u201cteaming\u201d with other people. Since there\u2019s a max of three members to a squad in Apex Legends, two friends load by themselves into a match, with others linking up with them while on another team. \u201cAfter solo queuing, I ended up in a team with those two players who had a friend join the same game in a different team,\u201d Reddit user \u2018Yurishirox\u2019 said of their own experience against a \u201cteaming\u201d player. \u201c\u2026 Using Lifeline for heals and Wattson for endless shield recharging, [allowed them] to \u2018earn\u2019 the 4k damage badge.\u201d The kill feed in the clip above shows the same names appearing then reappearing as Yurishirox looks from a distance, lest they get lumped with the cheaters if they get caught. Another instance recorded by user \u2018goldfish18\u2019 captured a similar event, where a group of players are huddled around, repeatedly knocking each other down. \u201cThis Pathfinder was knocked and revived over 40 times while I was spectating,\u201d goldfish18 said. \u201cTotals about 5,000 damage from that Caustic alone. It\u2019s too bad there isn\u2019t a way to report things like this in game on PS4.\u201d The exploit has been drawing a lot of attention from the Apex community, as some are starting to notice the allure of the badge diminish due to the rise of teamers. Respawn have been vocal about punishing cheaters in the past with an upcoming \u201cJudgement day\u201d punishment in the works, so it\u2019ll be interesting to see if they tackle the issue of the 4k badge exploit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
