Shroud catches blatant Apex Legends hacker in Ranked Play Respawn Entertainment \/ Mixer: shroudMichael \u2018shroud\u2019 Grzesiek might be one of the most talented first-person shooter players there is \u2013 but even he isn\u2019t good enough to counter a blatant hacker in Apex Legends ranked play. Hackers are somewhat of a given in any game, especially when you\u2019re playing in competitive matches against elite-level players. For that reason, questions were immediately raised when shroud and his trio were utterly decimated while running through World\u2019s Edge. While it\u2019s certainly possible for shroud to get outplayed from time to time, you rarely see him be killed in such a way, and before the team had even been completely wiped out they were already crying out \u201ccheater\u201d at their opponent \u2013 but had to be sure he was actually cheating. For the next couple of minutes, they decided to spectate the players who had killed them \u2013 and knew within seconds that there was definitely something funny going on. In the first clip, which sees the squad being outplayed in all aspects, suspicions were raised and the trio decided to keep watching and see what happens. \u201cCheater!\u201d one of the team exclaimed, before saying \u201cmaybe not\u201d and just that the enemy had \u201chit all their shots,\u201d which is definitely plausible considering it was a high-level lobby. However, shroud agreed with the initial call, saying without a doubt that \u201che was cheating.\u201d After deciding to watch them for a while, they quickly noticed some impeccable shots coming from their opposition, and immediately burst out laughing at how obvious it was, with \u201cOptimuslvl\u201d raining damage upon an enemy from a ludicrous distance. Shroud admits that he wasn\u2019t sure at first, assuming that the players were \u201cjust insane,\u201d before saying the manner in which they died was \u201cjust absurd.\u201d Straight after saying it he spectated Optimus railing an enemy team from miles away and, once again, burst out in laughter and disbelief. Shroud goes on to explain how they were able to spot that someone was hacking so quickly, saying that once you get to a certain level, you are \u201cused to the timings of gunfights and what weapon does what.\u201d \u201cMe and Matt died almost instantaneously,\u201d he continued. \u201cWe both died at the same time from a decent bit away, so that\u2019s how you can figure out if someone\u2019s cheating or not.\u201d \u201cIf it\u2019s one person that died, maybe he got lucky, but if two people die, you can\u2019t get that lucky\u2026 unless you\u2019re on controller,\u201d he finished. He did clarify, though, that even controller doesn\u2019t get aim assist from that distance. While shroud wasn\u2019t sure at first, he quickly realized that he must have been killed by cheaters, obviously a little annoyed at the situation. That said, if you watch out for the signs, you\u2019ll be able to better identify when there really is a cheater in your lobby, making it much easier to pick them out and report them. So, while hackers are always going to be in these games, big streamers calling them out might just make it a little harder for them to do.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
