Apex Legends streamer stunned by the true extent of in-game hacking Respawn EntertainmentAn Apex Legends streamer was bewildered to find a squad of hackers who used basically every cheat available on their way to a Champion screen. Typically hackers try to at least conceal their cheats so they don\u2019t get outright banned, but streamer \u2018AndySlaps\u2019 couldn\u2019t believe what he was seeing while spectating a hacking team \u2013 but he was even more surprised that they weren\u2019t banned. After seeing what the hackers were doing, the streamer decided to shadow the player while \u201ccasting\u201d their game to truly capture the absurdity of the gameplay unfolding before him. Throughout multiple moments in the clip, AndySlaps couldn\u2019t believe how the cheats escalated to include speed hacking, ultimate cooldown resets, aim cheats, and instant shield batteries \u2013 just to name a few. \u201cThis guy is literally ice-skating,\u201d AndySlaps said before switching over to full-on commentator mode. \u201cYou know what, I think this guy is legit, and he\u2019s so good, I\u2019m even going to cast this game.\u201d It was a mystery to see the hacker\u2019s account in the same lobby as AndySlaps at all since the streamer achieved the Apex Predator rank and the cheater is only Bronze four. But the satirical banter of the streamer-turned-caster showed how \u2018impressed\u2019 he was of the hacker\u2019s \u201craw and incredible skills.\u201d The Apex community was equally astonished, and the laughs turned into calls of help from Respawn to come in with a fix to the hacker problem in the game. \u201cThis is the craziest thing I have ever seen in Masters\/Predator Queue,\u201d AdamSlaps said. \u201cSo I logged off and my friend continued to queue. He said he ran into another 7-8 People using whatever insane client was used in the first clip\u2026 I hope someone at Respawn sees this and can help in some way.\u201d The battle royale has had a long history with hackers, but more players have been reporting \u201ca massive influx of cheaters that seem to have popped up in the past 48 hours,\u201d according to the streamer. Whether it was a new type of hack or a vulnerability in the Apex Legends backend, the community will look forward to a fix from Respawn to keep the cheaters in check.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
