Because it is nearly impossible for developers to eliminate the issue, cheats can be found virtually every video game. This is unfortunate. Although, happily, gamers have anti-cheat on their side, and despite the fact that it is not perfect, it is undoubtedly helpful in the struggle against cheats.
The community for Apex Legends has been relatively critical of the battle royale mode’s cheat detection, and members of the community have made multiple requests for changes. Apex players have been requesting that the developers take inspiration from Call of Duty’s anti-cheat system Ricochet, which had a significant update earlier in April. This upgrade improved a variety of cheat mitigation measures, including cloaking, disarming, and damage shielding.
Apex enthusiasts demand devs replicate CoD anti-cheat
On April 21, an Apex Legends gamer by the name of ‘pt_picasso’ wrote a thread on Reddit requesting that the developers of Apex Legends take a page out of Activison’s book and propose that they mimic Call of Duty’s anti-cheat system. “I simply wished to demonstrate the punishments that Call of Duty metes out to those who cheat. The gamer wrote: “How is it that the competition can do a better job at banning cheaters and humiliating them, while Apex just lets them run rampant and ruin it for the rest of us?”
Others, however, have pointed out that it will be more challenging for Respawn to reproduce despite appearances because the technology is still in its relatively early stages. You behave as if this technology isn’t still in its infant stages and has only begun to roll out. One of them wrote, “we don’t even know how effective it is.”
Conor ‘Hideouts’ Ford, a security analyst for Respawn, provided insight earlier this year into how cheaters can get around the anti-cheat software by explaining how potent cheating software can get around the existing system. The developers keep asserting that they remove “tens of thousands of bad actors” from the system every week, despite this.
