EA\u2019s war on Apex Legends cheaters just got even more serious Respawn Entertainment\/UnsplashElectronic Arts, the publishers behind Apex Legends, are stepping up the fight against cheaters and hackers by developing their own anti-cheat team. Like the vast majority of multiplayer titles, Apex Legends has suffered through a number of issues with cheats and exploits. Respawn Entertainment has already banned an eye-watering number of hackers and even taken their \u201cwar on cheaters\u201d to the next level with new learning software. Yet, that hasn\u2019t stopped those players who want to cheat from cheating \u2013 as some even take the misstep of showing off their cheats to the world via Twitch. Now, though, it appears as if both EA and Respawn are looking to consign cheaters to the trash once and for all and rid Kings Canyon of its problem. On July 22, EA posted an Anti-Cheat Program Manager position to Hitmarker Jobs, stating that they\u2019re on the hunt for a \u201chighly skilled Anti-Cheat Program Manager\u201d who can help drive \u201cvarious security initiatives\u201d solely for Apex. Whoever takes on the role will be tasked with clamping down on everything from low-level in-game cheaters to people who sell exploits, but do so without taking down the wider Apex community. There will also be an opportunity to build a \u201cdedicated studio anti-cheat team from the ground up,\u201d so only the best of the best will nr working on stamping out the in-game exploits. Of course, cheating isn\u2019t the only big issue affecting Apex Legends at the moment \u2013 with the community currently up in the arms about the game\u2019s current shift in meta. While cheaters are rewarded with insane accuracy, invincibility, or even knowing the location of enemy players, non-aggressive players and campers are being showered in ranked points for not taking fights and surviving until the late game. Unlike cheating, this new meta issue isn\u2019t something that either EA or Respawn can stamp out with new software or a brand-new team dedicated to the issue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
