Apex Legends players worried by \u2018kidnap\u2019 hacks ruining matches Respawn\/EAApex Legends players have voiced their concerns about the rise of \u2018kidnap\u2019 hacks that are stealing streamers and other fans out of matches and placing them into the Firing Range. Just like many of its other battle royale rivals, Apex Legends has had its fair share of headaches stemming from cheats and hackers over the last few years. Respawn Entertainment have attempted to crack down on hackers with constant ban waves \u2013 and they\u2019ve also just teased some upgrades for their anti-cheat system \u2013 but things have gone above and beyond the typical aimbots and wallhacks recently. Over the last few days, there has been a rise in hackers being able to take players directly out of their match and place them into the Firing Range all by their lonesome \u2013 prompting some fans to label it as the \u2018kidnap\u2019 hack. Naturally, some players are concerned by it. Apex Legends fans concerned about hackers \u2018kidnapping\u2019 players As noted, the kidnap hack is exactly what it sounds like. One minute you\u2019ll be locked in an intense firefight with enemies, and then you\u2019ll be sent to a loading screen before being placed in the Firing Range. While streamers and high-level players have been the main targets so far, it can happen to anyone, and that\u2019s got fans pretty spooked. \u201cPretty insane hack. They actually triggered a level load on a remote client. This better be patched asap. What\u2019s next? Malware injection?\u201d asked Redditor mobani. \u201cI already haven\u2019t been playing Apex because of the bugs, but just the fact that this is even possible has me pulling out permanently,\u201d added another. \u201cDude, if we see some CoD theater injection sh*t I\u2019m gonna lose my sh*t,\u201d commented another. Some suggested that the hacks have meant that Respawn has \u201clost almost all control\u201d of their own game, and the battle royale could go the way of Titanfall 2 \u2013 which has been taken by hackers before. It remains to be seen as to whether or not the devs can get this exploit patched up before it becomes widespread and ruins the experience for everyone, not just a select few unlucky souls.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
