I swear I feel like such an asshole calling everyone a cheater but having 13k+ hours in this game I know when shit feels off. Wallhacks are ruining this game
Exactly I feel very similar Sometimes I’ll die like insanely fast (like fking exploded) and it’s usually to a pred team. If you’ve played this game long enough you’ll know or at least have a six sense for when something feels un natural. Yes sometimes you’re wrong but I’d say over half the times you feel like they’re cheating they probably are.
It feels like the cheating really kicks in once you hit plat. I had some sus moments in quite a few games on my way up to gold, but literally as soon as I crossed that line into plat it's just started to feel like every other team in every game knows exactly where I will peek or beams me from halfway across the map. Super aggressive teams will show up out of nowhere and kill my teammates and I will run to the ends of the map and be completely out of footstep range but they will still chase me down and find me hiding in tightest darkest corner. Not only do they know exactly where I go but they are confident enough to chase me that far without being targeted by other teams because they know there is no one else there. I have been playing FPS games for so long. I am nowhere near the best but am always a very competent player and you just start to have the feel for what is and isn't possible for most other players to do. Things like reaction times, awareness, aim, snapping, etc. When you shoot a guy that's like 200 meters out with a sniper from solid cover and he turns and hits you with half a mag of his AR within like .5 seconds off your head glitch it's already suspicious. When it happens every other game there is just no way. There are people that are good like that but how am I fighting Shroud every 2nd engagement in plat? It sucks because it really makes you question yourself. Is it really as prominent as it seems or have I just gotten bad at these games? I am leaning way more heavily toward it being overrun with cheaters just because of how abnormal a lot of engagements feel to what I have been used to for many years.
Even now im s22 ive never once felt like someone was cheating but then there was a rampart that hit me I heard 1 rampage bullet and was knocked.... Looked at my recap and was headshot instantly off a zip and hit for 170 in the time it takes to jump off zip and land on a floor inside building.. For reference I mean going up floors i was unlucky to jump off on their floor but was insta killed faster than ive ever been knocked and ive played off and on since season 0
@@Antassium was it finished bc 3rd left or duos. Or was it continuous damage to finish off knock... Hax definitely happen its just rare for me on console to have seen it
i also came to a conclusion that most of streamers who are known as movement streamers, i believe they all use speed hacks, not alot but something that is not obvious with no walls....
@@Commander-Mustangthere’s so speed hacks though unless you’re talking about the punch teleporting thing. Faide lemonhead are just good mechanically what they’re doing is not impossible
Issue is that this pushes the entire rank ladder down. There's people that could be a rank higher, but because of the cheaters, they aren't. They then gatekeep other people of lower skill level from progressing, and you end up feeling the effect of cheating all throughout the ranking ladder.
If cheats didn't exist, it'd be like some parallel universe where you see ppl who've been pushed down actually at the top and streaming or in esports. Names we've never even heard of. But the selfish cheaters are unregulated. This is in all aspects of life right now too not just gaming. Sucks
@@therealfunny-_6677 i still don't know why your steam account isn't linked to your real life ID and phone and if you get banned for cheating in one game you just get banned from steam and all other plataforms that also has your info, people will say its not safe to give that info to steam and riot for example but other much worst and less trustworthy companies already has all your info
Zeus is so fucking loud 😂 bro kept interrupting the guy he was interviewing, he could barely get a word in edgewise lmao, literally don't care tho, love the content brother, glad to see you still cooking 💪
@@8300dvo that's not really the point though. He was talking to him to get info and would ask a question and then interrupt him immediately. I could barely hear anything the dude was saying. Plus he kept asking the same questions over and over.
Crazy how this cheater and many other cheaters have stated how apex has the CHEAPEST anticheats. Huge L for EA, just goes to show they really only care about $$$. This honestly sucks i hate to witness my favorite game dying because they rather update the game with cash grabs, shit ass cosmetics, and heirloom recolors. Tomorrows update isnt changing shit either smh...
Idk why these expert marketers and business ppl of Ea and respawn don't realise yet that these skins and heirlooms lose their value/demand when the itself game is unplayable to the average consumer. Why would I invest a couple hundred more dollars into skins when my playtime is decreasing due to the cheating pandemic?
@@debilman9065Becasue EA don’t care how much you play, they want you to spend more money. Why every game studio they obtain fall? Because off money grab
@@angelofmercy6139To clarify, the game security team, the game developing team, and the marketing team, are all their own separate teams that each have goals to achieve. Just because the game security team is on fire right now (trying to fix these issues) doesn’t mean that the marketing team gets put on pause from meeting their goals set out for them by EA on their own schedule. Remember that the people working on patching exploits and their anti cheat are completely separated from whatever marketing does please. These guys come into work, and take all the heat from the community because the other team in their corporation has a much easier line of work to follow through on.
True. I used to climb Masters every season and suddenly this S20 I couldn't get pass D4 lol. I thought I was just bad but this explains everything + I only play Asia servers.
Next time turn the volume of others in game up and then yourself down. Every time I try to focus what those guys are saying, you flash bang my ears by shouting at them.
Imagine a BILLION DOLLAR COMPANY doesn’t invest in anti cheat. That’s like having a museum with thousands year old artifacts with no security I just can’t with EA.
While I feel you and agree with the sentiment. EA is the billion dollar company, not respawn. And apex is probably not at the top of their list. I can’t imagine how much money they make from sports games and the micro transactions in those games… just imagine FIFA’s revenue and they drop a new FIFA and a new Madden every single year
They made 2B in rev. Shareholders don't give a shit about the game they extracted the pockets and will just move on. Until gamers actually stop playing and paying this will continue to worsen.
@@Focus716 Apex is a billion dollar cash cow. There was leaked audio of a meeting where one of the EA executives was boasting about it one time. This game makes EA crap tons of cash being a online shooter, and yet they cheap out on probably one of the key things a online game shouldn't cheap out on? And then you got that numpty hideouts on holiday every other month, jumping into pro players chats, acting like he's all that. Unless they hire more experenced cyber security analysts who know what they are doing so they can implement the updated anitcheat into the system, the game will forever remain a joke.
Honestly props to the cheater boys for being open and honest and overall giving us an insight into how ludicrous this epidemic actually is, never thought i'de be thanking a cheater but honestly i appreciate their honesty. I've quit Apex as of now because I was having so much fun at the start of the season and thought this would be the season i finally get out of being hardstuck diamond and into masters but nope the second i get to d4 or even high plat its just cheater central. Also, props to you Zeus for the speech at 12:35 it's very much needed to highlight that this isn't the devs fault and that the everlasting grip of EA is really fucking them in the ass. It's no wonder they're having such a hard time when all EA gives them a budget for is new skin releases and other cash-grab cosmetic events while simultaneously getting rid of core members of the dev team that have been trying they're hardest to keep these cheaters out of our game. If this doesn't wake them up i don't know what will and I'm scared apex might meet the same fate as Titanfall 2. Respawn has made some beautiful games in their time and truly has some amazing talent in their dev team, its just a shame EA dosn't see how they impact this poor company (or worse they probably do but don't care aslong as they see $$$) and only focus on profit margins and squeezing that cash cow udder dry. Who knows maybe if ea wasn't so controlling and profit centric Titanfall 2 would be a house hold name and Apex would actually be playable but if they wanna ruin it for everyone at respawn and every fan of respawn then i truly believe people (at least myself) will never buy nor play an ea title game again.
@@drewdeathless idk i guess what i was tryna say is the minority of cheaters have started becoming the majority because so many of the newer cheaters (and some of the older ones) have become so sick of playing against cheaters every game when they've been playing legit that they've just decided to join the cheaters and its because they know so many people have adopted this mindset they feel it's justified and necessary to even feel happy while playing apex anymore. This is essentially what happened in my Minecraft factions analogy. Cheating has become so casual in this game that really to them it isn't a big deal at all and honestly it's not a big deal for me anymore aswell, I've moved on from apex and have hardly been playing it in recent weeks and I've had so much fun on all these other games. Ill never cheat or hack on apex because my account has memorys on it, the same way I've never taken any offers people have given me to buy my Minecraft account, sure I could and get some sweet $$$ but I have memories on that account so I never will inorder to keep them memory safe.
They're being upfront, but still fuck these guys. When I'm playing and just get shat on, to think these people are cheating and being so ok with it annoys me.
Please save titanfall 1 for the 10th anniversary The servers are alive You just have to get past EA'S stupid pc app and you're in You can still buy the first game but you HAVE to buy the delux edition
@@DankBirdGang52 fair enough bro your anger is well warranted, I've felt the same whenever I've tried hoping on apex in the new season, so I've started pickin up some old games I used to play and lookin at what the indie gaming field has to offer x). Sucks ik because apex is such a fun game, but there's lots of fun games out there, im sure u can find a new one you like or an old game u haven't played in a while or most likely you probably already have a game you enjoy. If apex really is the fix you want tho, try getting some friends together in the shooting range and play tag, use what ever guns you want as the tagger, runners can play as any legend they like and use any abilities they like, its quite fun especially if you get 2 mates in on it! :))
Bro I got to masters again and idk if I ever am coming back after the brutal reality that apex has become. It’s literally the nightmare Tarkov issue now has spread like a virus to every game and any good player can see that now. It’s jover
If cheats are relatively easy to use expect about 35-45% of players to use them based on years of anonymous polls. There is no point in playing games that allow it, the devs will never ban 40% of their players.
Holy shit, I knew I wasn't getting worse at this game. I watch a lot of apex for dumb entertainment here on yt. Zeus, I usually count on you for that. This was actually quite a presentation on how bad the cheating problem really is, and more importantly, that its become part of the cancer culture killing the game. I'll have to cheer for the bad guy on this one, cheers to the man that confessed the whole thing while he was being recorded. Cheers to you for not verbally stomping on him.
Same! I took a break for months because of this and I come back and it's still shit. It really annoys me... I spent 4k hours on this game since day 1. I'm not the best player, no pro at all but I'd consider myself decent. I'm a real team player and I support a lot.
I died to a fucking 20 man team in ranked today even on console mostly all preds and masters the cheating is terrible apex is just completely and utterly dog shit
How is it possible on console? How can you get a wall hacking or aim bot on console. To my knowledge it’s not possible, sure modded controllers and devices like cronos but they don’t auto aim or show thru walls
@@mikesmith279they are talking about 20 players teaming together. They aren’t talking about aimbot and walls and 6 to 9 man’s in general. It’s really bad in ranked on console apparently but I’ve been lucky not to run into any yet.
@@mitchyt7906 you would be surprised. I ran into a 9 man in pubs ☠️ they were farming damage and probably the 20 bomb. They kept crafting respawn beacons and kept killing players and respawning them
Insane how if you get bored of the game instead of switching games you cheat, then get ur main banned for cheating then continues to cheat. It just sounds like an excuse to cheat cause if you’re bored of the game then stop playing, I love apex and the titanfall universe but I got bored the season catalyst came out, so I stopped playing apex since then, I love the game, love the gun play, love the lore, but hate the gameplay so I stop playing.
Y’know, these guys, as sad as they are for using it, I at least feel bad for the fact that they feel they have to cheat cause of the unapologetic cheaters
the thing its EA for christ sake, they have so much money its unreal, and then they scratch their heads wondering why apex is losing profits when they keep firing employees to cut costs. crazy
Man, this season started out great. And the gameplay changes and ranked system is also good. It took me 2 days to reach my career high whereas it normally takes me half the season. - But I stopped playing because every game has multiple cheaters using wall hacks. Full purple shields, getting instantly downed out of nowhere with zero time to react. - And it’s sad because they are going to assume the player count dropping is because the changes were not good enough or something. Which isn’t true. It’s the F’ing cheaters.
@@ELpeaceonearth so it has nothing to do with wall hacks? Got it, and since you don't seem to know the difference between walls and aimbot I'm going to assume you've never one clipped anyone in your life 😂😂😂😂
@@ELpeaceonearth I've been playing for 20 seasons. The start of the season which is usually the hardest was fine. I ranked up in 2 days. After not playing for a month I come back, and I'm getting insta-killed out of nowhere. By this time my lobbies should be easier with everyone being distributed, not harder. And I know the difference between someone who is walling vs not. Not even talking about aim bot here which is hard to prove unless someone is rage hacking. Walling has gotten vastly worse in the past week or two. And I'm not even talking about "1 mag" where I see the person and lost a 1v1. I'm talking about not even seeing my opponent and I'm instantly down. Zero time to react.
2:05 there is no shot they actually fired the person responsible for banning people!? Do companies mass laying off even look at the persons position before letting them go or do they just randomly pick names on a list that aren't executives...
Already knew this. Started learning movement last month and still get destroyed all over the place by people with walls. Even had a random teammate that was cheating and using his walls. Took 9 of his kills and stopped his 20 bomb.
That dude was actually very transparent on why he uses cheats and wasn’t obnoxious about it. It’s the truth, if Apex anti-cheat wasn’t so dog shit so many people wouldn’t cheat. It’s still bad to cheat yes, but some peoples mindset goes like this “if everyone is cheating, and nothing is being done about it then I might as well too”. Chaos all around.
Bit of a weird comparison but that's essentially why i quit Minecraft factions, everyone in that gamemode closet cheats now (cheats but tries to not make it obvious) and its pretty much a requirement now to join any faction that you have and know how to use a hacked client without being detected. There is still some legitimacy in hardcore factions (or hcf for short) but its pretty much the same there aswell. I really don't want to see this happen to Apex Legends because sadly Minecraft factions isn't the only game that has met this fate. If people keep getting away with it, other people just adopt the "if ya can't beat em, join 'em!" mindset and honestly I don't blame em.
The fact its taking people this long to realize cheating in apex is bad is kinda sad. Its been a huge problem since the game came out in season one they banned millions of players and it genuinely felt worse... after the bans like it did nothing to fix the problem. Not much has changed since then... the company either doesn't know how to fix the problem or doesnt care because of the money theyd have to spend on it.
Couldn’t have said it better myself. The fact ppl were so naive about it for so long. I’ve been saying it from the beginning. If cheats are available, they will come. It’s as simple as that. Egos are fragile. They can’t handle people thinking they are bad at the game.
THANK YOU. FINALLY. I've been in ranked and I keep dying over and over again, people always know where i am in impossible ways or scenarios they absolutely should not with a scanner. I thought I was just a sore loser for calling cheats, but clearly i'm not the only one seeing it.
@@paperclip6377 Most of Respawn leaders are gone, replaced by greedy ghouls from EA. Devs are forced to make stupid Star Wars games and not Titanfall 3 or anything meaningful to Apex
I was honestly shocked they added it. When you see more cheaters than legit players based on kill cams, that’s just wild to me. And that’s just the obvious ones. Blows my mind.
Console isn't great either. A lot of preds and masters are teaming usually in 6 mans. Most are running console cheats like Cronus, Scripts, Xim, etc. And they get into silver and gold lobbies which I believe is also a glitch that's been in the game for a while but also it can be sbmm shenanigans
facts, a lot of console players cope immensely online about this but the cheating epidemic is a cross platform apex legends issue and has been for quite some time.
@@siniister710 yea usually I don't complain much but it's starting to annoy me and now that I've seen what pc players are putting up with I suppose I felt like I had to share. I have plenty console clips of 6 man preds in my silver gold and plat games, I have clips of their ridiculous recoil control which some may very well be good but I doubt every console pred has genuine Genburten high sens with zero recoil. Not to mention a lot of other games in the high ranks on console cheaters are an issue, Siege is a great example
Lmao it's definitely cheating bud keep lying to yourself. They aren't licensed that's why you can no longer use the old versions after Microsoft and Sony updated the consoles to not recognize them as legitimate inputs. Unfortunately these people always find a way around and now they're selling newer versions that do work. Until the next time they decide to patch them out again. @@pubplays368
This game is getting to the point where COD: World at war got to, like 80% of games you ran into a cheater, they would be invincible and just delete you. Ita craZy how they're just taunting Ea/Respawn and nothing is getting done 😂
@@nonon6482 yeah they all would've converted to newer cod titles by now haha but back in the day holy fk the amount of cheaters I encountered and on CONSOLE mind you haha
So I have known this for sooooo long. Literally in season 7, 1 in 3 games you would have at least one cheater. You can only imagine how bad it would be now. I have known and see the progression get worse and worse. THANK YOU for talking about it. This should have been fixed a long time ago. The more we address it and spread awareness the bigger the priority the developers will have to focus on it. Thank you!
Completely agree, it completely destroyed arenas from the moment it was released aswell which makes me so sad because arenas was really enjoyable especially when the match making did its job and actually gave you well matched teammates or even when they brang customs out. But nope it just got so riddled with cheaters they just decided to get rid of it entirely rather than addressing it. Can almost guarantee that was ea forcing respawns hand to put their efforts else wear than actually fix anything in arenas, not to mention the dev team were put so under pressure around that time they would've had no choice but to just ignore arenas and put their efforts into pumping out "content" in order to meet profit margins :/
no wonder I wasn't able to sneak up to the octane in LAVA SIPHON on the top of the middle building in mixtape control game mode, where its always gunfire and no footsteps
What is the worst is when they lag freeze you then you lose the fight because of it. Or when you put a lot of damage into them and they instantly knock you.
No lie, I never assumed anyone was ever cheating, legitimately, until I learned about the Cronus Zen, and me knowing how intrinsically shameless people are about doing immoral shit if they knew nobody would know. Now I can't kick the thought from my head when playing these types of games, with how frequently I get absolutely lasered by people in almost any fps. It's gotten to the point that running into someone that actually misses shots is more rare than being 360 no scoped from around a corner by a level 4.
Yeah dude. I don't even know how people take any tiny bit of pride doing it. Like... it's not their skill and they're ruining other people's experiences. It's just too absurd to me to understand it.
EA/Respawn has made an agreement with selected content creators, where they know they are cheating but avoid banning them. This is because the content creators are basically providing free marketing for EA/Respawn, and it is really powerful. They know that player retention is much higher if consumers are provided with a stable suite of "role models" on twitch or youtube. If these content creators would have to play without cheats, alot of them would burn out and stop making content. This would be bad for business for EA, as they then would loose their top marketing people.
The funniest thing here is the fact that cheaters are not secretive about it, there are a lot of youtubers who talked with cheaters and the cheaters just straight up told them everything. Most of these cheaters are people who, like us, wanted to enjoy the game but were faced with cheaters and then decided that if Apex won't do anything, they'll just make it as obvious as possible. There is one dude that is so open about it, he levels up quite a bit before Apex does anything. And even then, he just makes a new account and goes again.
People just have FOMO. Just quit the game. As long as everyone keeps cheating EA wins because people are still playing. People like him are the reason we can't have fun. It's not the rage hackers
my theory is that EA or respawn is trying to purposely kill this game in preparation for something new or some other reason. The next heirloom(s) are a cash grab before they announce something new like a new game or something. What does this mean for the pro players of this game? i have no idea but I'm open to hearing other theories.
I stopped playing apex cause at some point i just couldnt take it anymore, i was so good at the game, but the more i played and as time went by, i started noticing how much harder the game was getting, and it was weird to me because i wasn't lagging behind, every advanced movement tech, i knew and i had pretty good aim too, I thought damn, these kids are just getting so much better than me and improving at a rate faster than me so i just accepted my fate and called it, i quit apex and how you're telling me it's because of this infestation? Damn.
Thank you, thank you and thank you for this video Zeus, it’s not just PC though. I would love for you to do a console gameplay to see how bad it is on console- you’ll be astonished….or maybe not at this point 😂
@@Smokesu thing is it’s allot worse than that, cheaters are literally making a career out of cheating - levelling up accounts with badges etc. then selling them. Also boosting noobs from diamond to pred it’s a whole society and clans of cheaters doing this bs.
The problem stems for bigger than just the randoms. We’ve got name streamers who cheat, devs who don’t care. A company that’s money hungry, bugs out the ass every season every update. Server issues, they still run 20 tick servers in 2024. The whole game needs to be fucking thrown away. The biggest pulling point they had when they came out was independent operators abilities and movement. Movement being key. And they always remove some form of movement tech because a group of people can’t do it. The game was fun and is a fucking wash now
It shows the difference in the company behind Titanfall and Apex. Titanfalls Respawn put cheaters against one another to ruin each others fun, Apex's Respawn lets cheaters ruin everyones fun as long as they are making money
So glad an original player like yourself spoke on this issue. I hope something is done because most players that buy heirlooms might as well be investors.
ive realised in apex that mostly everybody has a seasen 19 masters or pred badge which as u know was the seasen of camping for rp....ive played with dudes with a masters badge and they were worse than me, their movement were complete utterly dogshit,i also realised that they cant even controll their camera sense
Man, I don't play Apex at all, played a few times with some buddies when it first released, but I've been recently seeing a lot of cheaters appearing on SF6 (which is what I play these days) and lots of other games ever since 2020, it's crazy to see the guy in this video say "I don't want to sweat, so I'm using the cheat", because he's basically saying that he doesn't want to play the game, so he turns to cheats to play-but-not-play the game, what a waste of yours and other peoples time. I might sound like an old dude, but this new gaming generation has a bunch of weirdos that feel that are playing by pure obligation.
I wouldn't be surprised if they let the game die. They've made plenty of cash, and it sounds like they haven't been hitting their financial targets/goals lately, so ... They'll just cut investments and ride-out the current state for as long as they can. In other words, there's no point for them to spend more money if profit is on a downward trajectory and if they can continue to make at least some profit with little-to-no expenditure. In a nut-shell: this might explain why we see so many terrible recolors as of late.
I want to agree but they do at least try to make changes unlike other popular games. Balance changes whether we like it or not. Stuff doesn’t get done in a timely manner in my opinion but they at least put in effort unlike other games
It actually blows my mind how a big company like EA seems to believe that rampant cheating will not affect their game's popularity or their bottom line.
Damnnnn this video was INSANE!!! Totally exposes EA and makes me see things in a totally new light. It’s late where I am so I didn’t get to watch the full vid, but I saved it and I am exited to finish it in the morning, keep it up Zeus your content has been amazing and ur my favorite content creator rn!!! Love u!!!🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️🐐
Honestly. I would prefer an AI to prevent cheaters at this point. Imagine an AI locking you out of all hardware, phone, pc, laptop because you cheated. This is what is needed. Hard solutions for a dire problem.
I have so many sus clips where either the other guy is cheating or it shows how bad theirs servers refresh / tick rate is. I think it is even more important to give the servers a higher refresh / tick rate. They still have 20 and other fps like overwatch and csgo have 64. Even fortnite has 30 and valorant has 128. It is literally the fps with the worst refreshrate and it is one of the biggest cash cows.
Thank you for a great video. Could you maybe also cover the more "invisible" cheats that most content creators on youtube use? I think those cheats (wallhacks, and prob a button for auto-lock-on) are even more widespread than the blatant cheaters in this video..
Yes!! Amazing content has been made right here. This is a piece of video game history!! Thank you for standing up for your community and for this game that people love, and even the cheaters love this game, you did not judge this young man but listen to his voice that he has always wanted to be heard, you're an amazing person bro don't ever stop being you! Have a blessed rest of your week, and Happy Easter from Texas! Let's go!😁
Fr, I had a 11k kill wraith account that got banned in like season 6 or 7 because I said the same shit back to what the kids were saying to me on the mic. Fucking insanity
Then they have the fucking nerve to release expensive ass heirlooms and mythic skins and useless ass death boxes like their priorities are fucked all the way up
I got life bann for trolling in ranked and these players are still playing on their cheating acc smfh this why I stopped playing this dawg shit game so horrible.
Played Apex from the beggining, stopped due to cheaters, the game is doomed if EA wont get their heads out of their investor asses and actually invest in a proper anti cheat.
Valorant uses kernel level access to do its hardware ban which is considered more of a security risk, If their anti cheat gets hacked the hackers have access to all information stored on user's pc . If apex goes about that route im definitely taking it off my pc lol I have way too much sensitive information on there for work and so forth.
Thank you bro 🤙🏾 I’ve been telling everyone about the Cronus zen problem but no one believed me or they were using one and were just calling me ass because I don’t have 100,000 kills on one legend… I hope this sheds on light on all those ignorant people cheating. Their still ass and nothing will fix it, there’s always gonna be a better cheater 😂
This has nothing to do with the video, but what's that rhythm from at 12:33. I've heard it before even done it myself, but I have no idea where I picked it up from.
honestly the strangest part to me is that they're so casual about the fact they're cheating. even while talking to you they're so confident in the fact they won't get banned that they freely discuss their hacks like they're just having a casual convo with a mate. fucking crazy.
What sucks is i got my account hacked recently and ea banned me because they where cheating in my account i sent in a dispute showingthe different ip addresses from ea's own data on the site snd they refuse to unban me like what? Terrible game 😂
This is one of those things where it sucks for everyone. Casual players suffer. Pro players suffer. Pro teams suffer, and eventually the game wont have the player base to justify keeping it around.
When you get to see the death cams in the LTM it makes you feel like everyone is cheating. Hard to know who is and who is just on roller anymore. I'm a dad who games, so I get at max 8 hours to play games per week. Every time I choose Apex I feel like I wasted my time playing and end up frustrated by end of the session.
If you stop for a sec and really get what he's saying, you'll feel the frustration, too. This game's got a lot going against it: lousy matchmaking, no solo mode, those annoying 3-stack teams, and cheaters everywhere. It's why plenty of folks, myself included, bounced from Apex a while back. It's a shame 'cause the gameplay's a blast, but dang, the problems never seem to let up. I get why some might turn to cheating when they're constantly getting wrecked by bad matchmaking, running into cheaters, and facing off against stacked teams.
I swear I feel like such an asshole calling everyone a cheater but having 13k+ hours in this game I know when shit feels off. Wallhacks are ruining this game
All of online shooter always have cheater inside it but not as bad as apex legends and csgo.
Wow I love your stream man, you inspired me to be better, hopefully we get this fixed but it's sad yes...much love
Exactly I feel very similar
Sometimes I’ll die like insanely fast (like fking exploded) and it’s usually to a pred team. If you’ve played this game long enough you’ll know or at least have a six sense for when something feels un natural. Yes sometimes you’re wrong but I’d say over half the times you feel like they’re cheating they probably are.
wallhacks ruined every shooter ever lol
Aimbot the same
It feels like the cheating really kicks in once you hit plat. I had some sus moments in quite a few games on my way up to gold, but literally as soon as I crossed that line into plat it's just started to feel like every other team in every game knows exactly where I will peek or beams me from halfway across the map. Super aggressive teams will show up out of nowhere and kill my teammates and I will run to the ends of the map and be completely out of footstep range but they will still chase me down and find me hiding in tightest darkest corner. Not only do they know exactly where I go but they are confident enough to chase me that far without being targeted by other teams because they know there is no one else there.
I have been playing FPS games for so long. I am nowhere near the best but am always a very competent player and you just start to have the feel for what is and isn't possible for most other players to do. Things like reaction times, awareness, aim, snapping, etc. When you shoot a guy that's like 200 meters out with a sniper from solid cover and he turns and hits you with half a mag of his AR within like .5 seconds off your head glitch it's already suspicious. When it happens every other game there is just no way. There are people that are good like that but how am I fighting Shroud every 2nd engagement in plat?
It sucks because it really makes you question yourself. Is it really as prominent as it seems or have I just gotten bad at these games? I am leaning way more heavily toward it being overrun with cheaters just because of how abnormal a lot of engagements feel to what I have been used to for many years.
Even now im s22 ive never once felt like someone was cheating but then there was a rampart that hit me I heard 1 rampage bullet and was knocked.... Looked at my recap and was headshot instantly off a zip and hit for 170 in the time it takes to jump off zip and land on a floor inside building.. For reference I mean going up floors i was unlucky to jump off on their floor but was insta killed faster than ive ever been knocked and ive played off and on since season 0
Well said... think alot of ppl share the same concerns but can't find the words.
Literally happened to me yesterday

The other day, teammate and I were knocked mid-flight and fully finished before we even touched the ground.
It's rampant.

@@Commander-Mustangthere’s so speed hacks though unless you’re talking about the punch teleporting thing. Faide lemonhead are just good mechanically what they’re doing is not impossible
Issue is that this pushes the entire rank ladder down. There's people that could be a rank higher, but because of the cheaters, they aren't. They then gatekeep other people of lower skill level from progressing, and you end up feeling the effect of cheating all throughout the ranking ladder.
If cheats didn't exist, it'd be like some parallel universe where you see ppl who've been pushed down actually at the top and streaming or in esports. Names we've never even heard of. But the selfish cheaters are unregulated.

While I feel you and agree with the sentiment. EA is the billion dollar company, not respawn. And apex is probably not at the top of their list.

They made 2B in rev. Shareholders don't give a shit about the game they extracted the pockets and will just move on. Until gamers actually stop playing and paying this will continue to worsen.
@@Focus716 Apex is a billion dollar cash cow. There was leaked audio of a meeting where one of the EA executives was boasting about it one time. This game makes EA crap tons of cash being a online shooter, and yet they cheap out on probably one of the key things a online game shouldn't cheap out on? And then you got that numpty hideouts on holiday every other month, jumping into pro players chats, acting like he's all that.

The sell it 😂 the cheat
Talking to this guy is like talking to a legitimate soulless psychopath.
Honestly props to the cheater boys for being open and honest and overall giving us an insight into how ludicrous this epidemic actually is, never thought i'de be thanking a cheater but honestly i appreciate their honesty. I've quit Apex as of now because I was having so much fun at the start of the season and thought this would be the season i finally get out of being hardstuck diamond and into masters but nope the second i get to d4 or even high plat its just cheater central. Also, props to you Zeus for the speech at 12:35 it's very much needed to highlight that this isn't the devs fault and that the everlasting grip of EA is really fucking them in the ass. It's no wonder they're having such a hard time when all EA gives them a budget for is new skin releases and other cash-grab cosmetic events while simultaneously getting rid of core members of the dev team that have been trying they're hardest to keep these cheaters out of our game. If this doesn't wake them up i don't know what will and I'm scared apex might meet the same fate as Titanfall 2. Respawn has made some beautiful games in their time and truly has some amazing talent in their dev team, its just a shame EA dosn't see how they impact this poor company (or worse they probably do but don't care aslong as they see $$$) and only focus on profit margins and squeezing that cash cow udder dry. Who knows maybe if ea wasn't so controlling and profit centric Titanfall 2 would be a house hold name and Apex would actually be playable but if they wanna ruin it for everyone at respawn and every fan of respawn then i truly believe people (at least myself) will never buy nor play an ea title game again.
it was pissing me off how casual he was about it tbh.. like its not a big deal..
@@drewdeathless idk i guess what i was tryna say is the minority of cheaters have started becoming the majority because so many of the newer cheaters (and some of the older ones) have become so sick of playing against cheaters every game when they've been playing legit that they've just decided to join the cheaters and its because they know so many people have adopted this mindset they feel it's justified and necessary to even feel happy while playing apex anymore. This is essentially what happened in my Minecraft factions analogy. Cheating has become so casual in this game that really to them it isn't a big deal at all and honestly it's not a big deal for me anymore aswell, I've moved on from apex and have hardly been playing it in recent weeks and I've had so much fun on all these other games. Ill never cheat or hack on apex because my account has memorys on it, the same way I've never taken any offers people have given me to buy my Minecraft account, sure I could and get some sweet $$$ but I have memories on that account so I never will inorder to keep them memory safe.
They're being upfront, but still fuck these guys. When I'm playing and just get shat on, to think these people are cheating and being so ok with it annoys me.

If cheats are relatively easy to use expect about 35-45% of players to use them based on years of anonymous polls. There is no point in playing games that allow it, the devs will never ban 40% of their players.

This was actually quite a presentation on how bad the cheating problem really is, and more importantly, that its become part of the cancer culture killing the game. I'll have to cheer for the bad guy on this one, cheers to the man that confessed the whole thing while he was being recorded. Cheers to you for not verbally stomping on him.

Man, this season started out great. And the gameplay changes and ranked system is also good.

That dude was actually very transparent on why he uses cheats and wasn’t obnoxious about it. It’s the truth, if Apex anti-cheat wasn’t so dog shit so many people wouldn’t cheat. It’s still bad to cheat yes, but some peoples mindset goes like this “if everyone is cheating, and nothing is being done about it then I might as well too”. Chaos all around.
Bit of a weird comparison but that's essentially why i quit Minecraft factions, everyone in that gamemode closet cheats now (cheats but tries to not make it obvious) and its pretty much a requirement now to join any faction that you have and know how to use a hacked client without being detected. There is still some legitimacy in hardcore factions (or hcf for short) but its pretty much the same there aswell. I really don't want to see this happen to Apex Legends because sadly Minecraft factions isn't the only game that has met this fate. If people keep getting away with it, other people just adopt the "if ya can't beat em, join 'em!" mindset and honestly I don't blame em.

The fact its taking people this long to realize cheating in apex is bad is kinda sad. Its been a huge problem since the game came out in season one they banned millions of players and it genuinely felt worse... after the bans like it did nothing to fix the problem. Not much has changed since then... the company either doesn't know how to fix the problem or doesnt care because of the money theyd have to spend on it.
Couldn’t have said it better myself. The fact ppl were so naive about it for so long. I’ve been saying it from the beginning.
If cheats are available, they will come. It’s as simple as that. Egos are fragile. They can’t handle people thinking they are bad at the game.

And that’s just the obvious ones. Blows my mind.
Console isn't great either. A lot of preds and masters are teaming usually in 6 mans. Most are running console cheats like Cronus, Scripts, Xim, etc. And they get into silver and gold lobbies which I believe is also a glitch that's been in the game for a while but also it can be sbmm shenanigans
facts, a lot of console players cope immensely online about this but the cheating epidemic is a cross platform apex legends issue and has been for quite some time.
@@siniister710 yea usually I don't complain much but it's starting to annoy me and now that I've seen what pc players are putting up with I suppose I felt like I had to share.

Those are accessibility devices that are licensed by the publishers. An advantage? Yes. Cheating by definition? No.

They aren't licensed that's why you can no longer use the old versions after Microsoft and Sony updated the consoles to not recognize them as legitimate inputs.

The more we address it and spread awareness the bigger the priority the developers will have to focus on it. Thank you!
Completely agree, it completely destroyed arenas from the moment it was released aswell which makes me so sad because arenas was really enjoyable especially when the match making did its job and actually gave you well matched teammates or even when they brang customs out. But nope it just got so riddled with cheaters they just decided to get rid of it entirely rather than addressing it. Can almost guarantee that was ea forcing respawns hand to put their efforts else wear than actually fix anything in arenas, not to mention the dev team were put so under pressure around that time they would've had no choice but to just ignore arenas and put their efforts into pumping out "content" in order to meet profit margins :/

What is the worst is when they lag freeze you then you lose the fight because of it. Or when you put a lot of damage into them and they instantly knock you.
No lie, I never assumed anyone was ever cheating, legitimately, until I learned about the Cronus Zen, and me knowing how intrinsically shameless people are about doing immoral shit if they knew nobody would know. Now I can't kick the thought from my head when playing these types of games, with how frequently I get absolutely lasered by people in almost any fps.
It's gotten to the point that running into someone that actually misses shots is more rare than being 360 no scoped from around a corner by a level 4.
Yeah dude. I don't even know how people take any tiny bit of pride doing it. Like... it's not their skill and they're ruining other people's experiences. It's just too absurd to me to understand it.
Literally everyone has a Cronus and it’s not even funny.. I don’t understand how their brains work so hard to justify it.
Insane
EA/Respawn has made an agreement with selected content creators, where they know they are cheating but avoid banning them. This is because the content creators are basically providing free marketing for EA/Respawn, and it is really powerful. They know that player retention is much higher if consumers are provided with a stable suite of "role models" on twitch or youtube. If these content creators would have to play without cheats, alot of them would burn out and stop making content. This would be bad for business for EA, as they then would loose their top marketing people.
10000%. I also think it's why Aceu left the scene
The funniest thing here is the fact that cheaters are not secretive about it, there are a lot of youtubers who talked with cheaters and the cheaters just straight up told them everything. Most of these cheaters are people who, like us, wanted to enjoy the game but were faced with cheaters and then decided that if Apex won't do anything, they'll just make it as obvious as possible. There is one dude that is so open about it, he levels up quite a bit before Apex does anything. And even then, he just makes a new account and goes again.
People just have FOMO. Just quit the game. As long as everyone keeps cheating EA wins because people are still playing. People like him are the reason we can't have fun. It's not the rage hackers
Then they aren't like us because true gamers don't cheat
Bro I think I was in your lobby so many times to the point I was like no not Zeus again not realizing you streamed/ did TH-cam as well😭😂
my theory is that EA or respawn is trying to purposely kill this game in preparation for something new or some other reason. The next heirloom(s) are a cash grab before they announce something new like a new game or something. What does this mean for the pro players of this game? i have no idea but I'm open to hearing other theories.
I stopped playing apex cause at some point i just couldnt take it anymore, i was so good at the game, but the more i played and as time went by, i started noticing how much harder the game was getting, and it was weird to me because i wasn't lagging behind, every advanced movement tech, i knew and i had pretty good aim too, I thought damn, these kids are just getting so much better than me and improving at a rate faster than me so i just accepted my fate and called it, i quit apex and how you're telling me it's because of this infestation? Damn.

@@Smokesu thing is it’s allot worse than that, cheaters are literally making a career out of cheating - levelling up accounts with badges etc. then selling them. Also boosting noobs from diamond to pred it’s a whole society and clans of cheaters doing this bs.
The problem stems for bigger than just the randoms. We’ve got name streamers who cheat, devs who don’t care. A company that’s money hungry, bugs out the ass every season every update. Server issues, they still run 20 tick servers in 2024. The whole game needs to be fucking thrown away. The biggest pulling point they had when they came out was independent operators abilities and movement. Movement being key. And they always remove some form of movement tech because a group of people can’t do it. The game was fun and is a fucking wash now
It shows the difference in the company behind Titanfall and Apex. Titanfalls Respawn put cheaters against one another to ruin each others fun, Apex's Respawn lets cheaters ruin everyones fun as long as they are making money
If you cheat in a game you deserve jail time 😂 only way I can see it slowing down.
I feel like that team is the definition of "if you can't beat them, join them"

So glad an original player like yourself spoke on this issue. I hope something is done because most players that buy heirlooms might as well be investors.
ive realised in apex that mostly everybody has a seasen 19 masters or pred badge which as u know was the seasen of camping for rp....ive played with dudes with a masters badge and they were worse than me, their movement were complete utterly dogshit,i also realised that they cant even controll their camera sense
So; actual humans playing? You'll be amazing EVERY game for sure....
Man, I don't play Apex at all, played a few times with some buddies when it first released, but I've been recently seeing a lot of cheaters appearing on SF6 (which is what I play these days) and lots of other games ever since 2020, it's crazy to see the guy in this video say "I don't want to sweat, so I'm using the cheat", because he's basically saying that he doesn't want to play the game, so he turns to cheats to play-but-not-play the game, what a waste of yours and other peoples time.
I might sound like an old dude, but this new gaming generation has a bunch of weirdos that feel that are playing by pure obligation.
I wouldn't be surprised if they let the game die. They've made plenty of cash, and it sounds like they haven't been hitting their financial targets/goals lately, so ... They'll just cut investments and ride-out the current state for as long as they can.
In other words, there's no point for them to spend more money if profit is on a downward trajectory and if they can continue to make at least some profit with little-to-no expenditure.
In a nut-shell: this might explain why we see so many terrible recolors as of late.
I want to agree but they do at least try to make changes unlike other popular games. Balance changes whether we like it or not. Stuff doesn’t get done in a timely manner in my opinion but they at least put in effort unlike other games
It actually blows my mind how a big company like EA seems to believe that rampant cheating will not affect their game's popularity or their bottom line.
Damnnnn this video was INSANE!!! Totally exposes EA and makes me see things in a totally new light. It’s late where I am so I didn’t get to watch the full vid, but I saved it and I am exited to finish it in the morning, keep it up Zeus your content has been amazing and ur my favorite content creator rn!!! Love u!!!🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️🐐
My brother hit pred and he said it was the best fun he ever had, cheating in this game is fun cause you gotta work together and it’s hilarious
I was psyched you got that outro.. crazy
Honestly. I would prefer an AI to prevent cheaters at this point. Imagine an AI locking you out of all hardware, phone, pc, laptop because you cheated. This is what is needed. Hard solutions for a dire problem.
2:16 damn loving your hair bro
that's slick 😎💪🏻

It's the beginning of the end for Apex, this is pretty much what happened with Titanfall.
I have so many sus clips where either the other guy is cheating or it shows how bad theirs servers refresh / tick rate is.
I think it is even more important to give the servers a higher refresh / tick rate.
They still have 20 and other fps like overwatch and csgo have 64. Even fortnite has 30 and valorant has 128.
It is literally the fps with the worst refreshrate and it is one of the biggest cash cows.
Thank you for a great video. Could you maybe also cover the more "invisible" cheats that most content creators on youtube use? I think those cheats (wallhacks, and prob a button for auto-lock-on) are even more widespread than the blatant cheaters in this video..
Love how he keeps saying on PC but it happens on consoles to
I'd love to see a Zeus and Gen collab! Aussie lads smashing ranked, reckon that'd be really entertaining
Yes!! Amazing content has been made right here. This is a piece of video game history!! Thank you for standing up for your community and for this game that people love, and even the cheaters love this game, you did not judge this young man but listen to his voice that he has always wanted to be heard, you're an amazing person bro don't ever stop being you! Have a blessed rest of your week, and Happy Easter from Texas! Let's go!😁
At this point it's probably harder to find someone not cheating
Holy cow dude, haven't seen you reccomended to me since quarantine. Glad I saw it! Keep up the good work
ea is too busy banning people for game chat instead 🤣
Fr, I had a 11k kill wraith account that got banned in like season 6 or 7 because I said the same shit back to what the kids were saying to me on the mic. Fucking insanity
Not even consoles is safe from cheaters lmao. There are a bunch of cronuz zen and xim.
Then they have the fucking nerve to release expensive ass heirlooms and mythic skins and useless ass death boxes like their priorities are fucked all the way up
I got life bann for trolling in ranked and these players are still playing on their cheating acc smfh this why I stopped playing this dawg shit game so horrible.
EA rn: yea lets just fire some ppl in the security section
Played Apex from the beggining, stopped due to cheaters, the game is doomed if EA wont get their heads out of their investor asses and actually invest in a proper anti cheat.
and the sad thing they have the money for it
Kinda funny how the cheaters cheat so casually bc they know how much of a joke EA’s EAC is
" apex has cheapest version anti-cheat "
Apex AC is free so yeah
Lol, billion $ company doesnt have an anti cheat and you know damn well some EA employees know their pros and high ranked players are cheating
Valorant uses kernel level access to do its hardware ban which is considered more of a security risk, If their anti cheat gets hacked the hackers have access to all information stored on user's pc . If apex goes about that route im definitely taking it off my pc lol I have way too much sensitive information on there for work and so forth.
Easy Anticheat is kernal level access.
I remember people making a fuss about the level of access valorants anti cheat has on your PC. But obv it's necessary
But, what anticheat doesn't have kernel level access?
So it's actually just a "cheat or be cheated" game now
Thank you bro 🤙🏾 I’ve been telling everyone about the Cronus zen problem but no one believed me or they were using one and were just calling me ass because I don’t have 100,000 kills on one legend… I hope this sheds on light on all those ignorant people cheating. Their still ass and nothing will fix it, there’s always gonna be a better cheater 😂
This has nothing to do with the video, but what's that rhythm from at 12:33. I've heard it before even done it myself, but I have no idea where I picked it up from.
Your fault for investing in EA, my fault for investing in need for speed carbon back in the day.
honestly the strangest part to me is that they're so casual about the fact they're cheating. even while talking to you they're so confident in the fact they won't get banned that they freely discuss their hacks like they're just having a casual convo with a mate. fucking crazy.
Zeus had gone from soy jack to Chad
What sucks is i got my account hacked recently and ea banned me because they where cheating in my account i sent in a dispute showingthe different ip addresses from ea's own data on the site snd they refuse to unban me like what? Terrible game 😂
Holy shiiit! I can't believe he sent you a video of the walling. Great interview Zeus.
This is one of those things where it sucks for everyone. Casual players suffer. Pro players suffer. Pro teams suffer, and eventually the game wont have the player base to justify keeping it around.
When you get to see the death cams in the LTM it makes you feel like everyone is cheating. Hard to know who is and who is just on roller anymore. I'm a dad who games, so I get at max 8 hours to play games per week. Every time I choose Apex I feel like I wasted my time playing and end up frustrated by end of the session.
If you stop for a sec and really get what he's saying, you'll feel the frustration, too. This game's got a lot going against it: lousy matchmaking, no solo mode, those annoying 3-stack teams, and cheaters everywhere. It's why plenty of folks, myself included, bounced from Apex a while back. It's a shame 'cause the gameplay's a blast, but dang, the problems never seem to let up. I get why some might turn to cheating when they're constantly getting wrecked by bad matchmaking, running into cheaters, and facing off against stacked teams.
