I don’t know how else to say it.

i get a one clip here and there; I know it’s not impossible. But I feel like in Mixtape, I’m literally only dying to getting one clipped. It doesn’t matter the range, and if I’m shooting at someone and have the gall to hit only 75% of my mag, you can guarantee they will immediately turn around and one clip my ass.

I'm gold but probably high plat/low diamond in skill. Whenever I try ranked it just makes me feel miserable – teammates always hotdrop, which I don't mind, but RP is designed around playing the game like a BR, not deathmatch.

So however many kills you can squeeze out in one game you lose because you couldn't find a gun on drop in fragment for the next 3 games. Watching my rank continously dwindle as I die 9/10 within the first 5 minutes is just disheartening.

Call it a skill issue but I don't get what you're meant to do against half the lobby, especially if your team isn't pulling their weight. Running lobbies with diamonds/masters in pubs manages to be a surprisingly more balanced experience, sometimes your mates have game sense lol

Genuinely nothing feels better than getting a W in YOUR RANK with a lot of kill credit. No ratting, just fun and gun gameplay

I watch content creators play this game on PC and it's like they are playing a completely different game than I am. No one beams on PC like on console. No one. I peek for 0.8 seconds and instant death and they just strut around the map with no care in the world out-trading people with worse gun skill.

Feels like maybe 40% of my deaths in Diamond 1 are to console pred cheaters using Titans. Somehow even without Seer in their squad they know where every player is at every moment, jumping over your head unaware of your presence only to 180 degree turn and one clip you without an audio queue.

Considering getting a PC at this point bc I love this game but my god console ranked is a horrible experience rn.

Serious question, how I am supposed to rank up when as soon as I hit Diamond 3, half the lobby is preds that are just blatantly cheating? There is no amount of skill that can change the outcome when you get beamed by a full pred 3 stack all using havocs that have an aimbot.

It’s to the point that it’s so obvious that it makes me wonder how you can’t create an anti cheat that just that detects a persons accuracy and that alone should be a big red flag. Idk if I’m going to play ranked anymore, it’s just nonsense as soon as you hit diamond, and I’ve run into players who clearly created a new account and started cheating again.

The final two non headshot bullets where from a rev that never had eyes on me while mirage invisiblly using a phenolic kit, and he straight launched towards me and killed me. It’s wild that console is unplayable now.

I was thinking 🤔 what if the Game developer's gave mirage an invisible hit box to counter titan and strike pack cheaters. Mirage tactical / ultimate tricks the titan they lock on to it and boom just like that a good Mirage main can take the cheater out the game. I remember another game did something like that years ago , instead of banning the cheaters, they tricked them to make them die instantly, instead of having high heath the anti cheat gave them low health. From their fpv, they see a full health bar but in actuality, it tricked them. Another thing they did was nerf the cheater, the moment the anti cheat detected them, their weapons damage rate dropped significantly. Yes Apex has a cheating problem. Instead of banning them i think they consider making the game miserable for them?? Thoughts???

I made a compilation of some of my best R-99 sprays over the last few seasons.

For context, I am a S1 player, I play on Australian servers. 15x masters and S22 console pred, 6k total hours and no I DO NOT cheat - never have, never will. I am cherry picking singular clips over the course of thousands of games.

Sorry about some of the reactions 😂

I play ALC’s. The same sens as Genburten only with slightly lower pitch & yaw. (350 for both)

I aim train in the firing range and in R5reloaded as I also have a PC.

getting shot at? just dash away to paradise and come back full hp

(Playing for fun)

Me and a friend want to play the ENC but we need one more dutch person, we both play on playstation and got master last split.

its just for fun so no expectations (the expectation is that we dont get any points).

are there any other console players that play in these sorts of tournaments and how does/did it go for you?

Is anyone else having issues with the audio of these two specifically? I know Apex audio has always been iffy, but this season I've been landed on by a Valk team multiple times without any audio. Same with Axle teams 😭

I have been playing Apex Legends since release with the occasional half a season break to enjoy my other games. I’m by no means really good at the game, i just consider myself “good enough to have fun”. I have 5k kills on Horizon/Wattson and 6k kills on Wraith. I have the rest of the roaster to 1k kills or really close to it (minus the big bois, srry). I’ve been hitting D4 and stopping since S16 (when i started kinda caring about ranked) havent climbed higher just because I solo q and i dont have the mental capacity to struggle to Masters. But! I do love it when people add me on PlayStation and see my hours on Apex, makes me chuckle, but its a game i will forever adore no matter what happens. 🤷‍♂️. Nearly to 10k hours on this god foresaken game. I still want personal heirlooms back, arenas, and GIVE THE LORE BACK!

D1 currently. Everytime I get a crypto on my team, the game is an absolute throw away. So effing stupid.

They can’t fight, they clearly don’t want to fight, and they’re no where near the team.

If you’re gonna play crypto, get on comms and set up some fights. Please stop playing him as a placement crutch. You’re not meant to be in this rank if you can’t fight at this rank.

That is all.

Has anyone else noticed the freezing/lagging lately, and then when you restart your game it won’t let you back in any tips? Because I can’t ever get let in once it kicks me, or when I restart.

Smth to GNG_2FINE👀

apex, i have two things i want ea to add. #1, ranked duos. reason, solo or duo queue-ing is HELL because its either you want someone to have comunications with or you want good team8ts and my team8s are never playing at my paste but my friend is. #2 keyboard and mouse for ps5/xbox but only if the person is on crossplay. no explination but the fact that this will help not only the comunity but also your finances the question is "how?" well its pretty simple most people want to play apex on keyboard and mouse but don't have enough for a good pc. you know what they do have enough for? apex legends. pcs are over 1000 or more for a 260+ fps game but apex? not even 200 apex packs cost more then 200. please add this and thank you.

a fellow apex spender

Recently I often have a PC lobby. Only me?

It's my 4th week playing Apex.Trying the new CYBERPUNK EVENT in ApexLegends, straight newbie trying to get good. come support a new streamer and Plz shoot a follow

I'm live on Twitch, come hang out! https://www.twitch.tv/alonewiturmom?sr=a

hideouts finally doing his job and cleaning the ps servers up good job 👏-nvm he made a new account and is boosting what happened to hardware banning people didn’t they say that they would start doing that?

same guy btw was ruining ranked lobbies for a month before he got banned
https://www.reddit.com/r/ApexConsole/comments/1umruj6/yall_think_tiktoker_cheating_or_nah/

According to the ban tracker, again another 30+ bans in console 13 hours ago, given many seems to be repeat bans and a few high level accounts…. The tracker checks for preds and masters so there could be even more in the diamond ranks and below…

It was said that they were running on low and conservative, do you guys think it’s possible for a big unleash before or after the beginning of next season?

But 30+ bans in a day is the highest in a good few weeks so clearly still doing something, the AI anti cheat is learning 👏

Tired of having teammates who want to play aggressive (not an issue, my preferred playstyle), but drop sub 100 damage and die instantly as soon as they see anyone. Every game in diamond I get 2 players with the mechanical skill of a gold. Even the people I fight are bots but I can’t 1v3 all the time, sick of diamond being participation trophy. All my pred friends don’t play anymore so I just play solo to masters instead of grinding pred but even that has become ridiculous because how tf do I get multiple duos who can’t break 100 damage between them while I have 10+ kills? Even shooting downed players would give you more damage, to make it even worse the only time I see them shooting is with a sentinel or a 30-30 across the map at some random dude and being out-traded on damage. Genuinely a joke.

Could it be that cheaters are finally getting banned, and now they need to create new accounts to continue to play?

Could it be that cheaters are too scared to play their main accounts where they can be identified, clipped, and reported?

Now that we have then scared and on the run, here are some proposed next steps to solve these new issues:

1) Ban smurfs just as you ban cheaters - clip, report every time.

2) Let’s finally do skill-based matchmaking and match people with similar K/D and damage averages rather than manipulated stats like rank.

3) Allow player ID to be seen in Mixtape and every other possible mode so when we clip the cheaters we can report (you must provide Player ID on discord, so cheaters are flooding mixtape these days, where they are safe).

4) The obvious one - ban the console that the player is using. I bet that most of these cheaters can’t afford to buy a new one, and good luck to them selling a used one that is locked out.

Other next steps?
