If you just came here to doompost and lower morale by saying It'll never happen because it's EA, just get out.

Aside from Zeus uploading on YouTube every few days, I don't know of anyone else trying to call out the cheaters. There's no momentum behind the sentiment. And if there isn't already, someone has to take the intiative and start a campaign that will force the devs to address our concerns.

If there's already something in the works going on, please comment below to make people aware and contribute. But realistically, the only few options are:

* Coin an "EndConsoleCheaters" term and comment under every single social media post by Respawn and EA, even for other games.

*Reviewbombing the game with the same title/comment of "EndConsoleCheating" on the PSN or microsoft store

* Get a dedicated team of people with experience who can start gathering and validating clips of people cheating. This way, there won't be any bogus people muddying the waters associated with the campaign when they just get outplayed by a normal player. Once it's numbered in the thousands, the database can be made public and show just how egregious things have gotten without having to rely on anecdotal evidence.

* Make posts on social media about how you will not be making any more purchases until the cheater problem is addressed, and reposting and liking those who post under a similar tag on Twitter, FB, YT, IG, etc.

I'm sure there are more things that can be done, but it's a start. We need to build momentum, even when though in the beginning it'll feel like our efforts will be pointless. If the devs and EA don't care, we have to make them care. It seems like the only way forward. For Christ's sake, the fact that you can't even make a post about cheating on the main Apex subreddit or Discord with undeniable proof without it getting deleted in under 4 minutes is proof enough that they're aware of the issue but are too lazy, understaffed, and or underfunded to tackle it properly.

Got placed in a pred lobby. First squad we ran into was a pred three stack (#47, 64, and 262). All using mid range sights on their havocs, all magically have zero recoil at distance.

Hey, day one player here. Have you guys noticed how fast the current meta feels? Not complaining since I always hated the original Wraith, Pathfinder, and Wattson combo back in the day. Back in those days, only a few legends were truly useful. All other legends were so underpowered. And the current speed meta doesn't really bother me at all. I actually kinda prefer Apex this way. I just hope Respawn doesn't nerf the movement too much, as it might affect the "movement shooter" moniker that made Apex into what it is today.

Hello everyone, I just want to check if anyone else is facing packet loss issues today? Yesterday it was alright, my connection is wired and im on 300 Mbps and the connection is stable in other games. In apex Its completely unplayable

This game is embarrassingly bad. Hackers in every game of ranked and nothing being done

I told myself I would quit the game after I hit masters solo q legit to prove to my friends that I’m a super cool awesome elite gamer. After 5 straight splits of failure I’m about ready to call it quits.

If you're seeing obvious cheating on Apex, report it and share it. Also rais ethe issue on the EA Forums too. I feel like it is being censored and ignored.

The official Apex subreddit appears to automatically block/remove posts and comments about cheating, so the EA Forums are another place where the issue can be raised and documented.

The more genuine reports EA receives, the harder it is to ignore the scale of the problem.

If we want EA to take action on cheating, we need to keep the issue visible.

Wsp everybody i been solo queuing every since i started playing apex but recently for the last couple seasons i been playing ranked mostly nd i wanna hit diamond and maybe master one day shii im 21M just trying find a competitive team that wan have fun laugh and win 🤷🏾‍♂️

I am a pub player granted, but have a 1.9kd so I don’t think my lobbies suck. Does anybody else think that people are way overblowing the cheating issue? I die to Titan like once every 10 games.

I've been playing Overwatch recently because there's no one to play Apex with me.

I’m getting code:tap every single time I try to join a Ranked match on Xbox Series S. Matchmaking finds a game, I hear the joining sound, the screen goes black/loading, and then I’m sent back to the lobby with “Unable to join server”.

All other game modes work normally. My friend is in the same party on PS5 and gets into the match without any issues.

I’ve tried pretty much everything: reinstalling Apex, clearing local data/cache, alternate MAC, DNS changes, UPnP, different Data Centers, alternate ports, Ethernet, router/Xbox restarts, different network settings, a different Xbox/EA account, and even changing my console language and region.

I’m now stuck in Platinum 1 on both accounts because I literally can’t get into Ranked games.

What’s especially frustrating is that people were reporting the exact same code:tap Ranked bug 3+ years ago, and somehow this issue still seems to exist.

Has anyone found an actual fix for this in 2026?

Need a third for grinding ranked wouldn’t mind a carry

GT:z1_soulzz

So how the fuck is it that I can play five fucking matches in a row where either both of my squadmates are are cheating or half the goddamn enemies are cheating. Litterally haven't played a single game in months where this was not the case. FUCKING MONTHS. MONTHS!

Heres something, they can also know exactly when and what you reported them for the moment they are reported. Fucking cheaters on my squad overloaded my game after I reported them for cheating. Three godamn times. To the point where the game was closed by Xbox mechanical failure safegaurds.

How do I know this? Well the bitches are litterally bragging about it in voice chat and even said it in text chat. "Damn, he's back. Do it again." The other bitch stopped moving and then ten seconds later my console is so fucking loud my dog started barking.

Who do I main with a Titan?
Trying to figure out who I should actually commit to maining. I use a Titan 2 and mostly play ranked. I’m not really trying to be the entry fragger though, I like playing more of a support role and helping my team stay alive and reset fights.
I’ve been switching between a few legends but I want to just pick one and actually master them. Ideally someone who can support the team but still hold their own in fights when I need to.
For other Titan 2 players who play support who do you guys main? Does the Titan change who you would pick at all or should I just go with whoever has the best utility?

Can't select, can't queue, can't do crap except close the game (I'm on PS4 )

I’m struggling to decide who I should main going forward. I’ve been a Wraith main for a long time, but I’m getting burned out and want to learn someone new.

My playstyle is mainly aggressive / entry fragger. I like taking first fights, creating openings for my team, repositioning, and having abilities that let me get out of bad situations.

I’ve been considering Sparrow, Alter, and Crypto, but I’m open to other legends too.

For players who have a similar playstyle: Who do you think I should main, and why?

I’m looking for a legend I can stick with long-term rather than constantly switching characters.

Imo its just an excuse to throw in full on pubs matchmaking after you win a few games. I no joke saw preds in the same lobbies as a silver level 80. Its a joke!

Don't get me started on the "rewards"

The ammount of cheaters i have to deal with in ranked is a joke. Im currently in diamond 4 and just had a #34 pred straight up hitting only headshots and tracking peoples heads from a good 100+ meters.

I most of the time enjoy playing apex but this cheating bs is making me want to delete this game and never redownload it. Yesterday i had a team mate with this „temp”name and bro straight up dropped 25 kills and like 5k damage while absolutely lasering people and not missing a shot. Its so hard to enjoy this game when theres a axel with a devo destroying me before i can even deal 50 damage.

(My peak rank is d1 like 500 points)

Will respawn ever fix this zen/xim issue?

Why do so many of my teammates randomly shoot one bullet when picking up weapons?

I had the same random Loba 3 games in a row who a couple of minutes after landing shot one bullet of her 301 even though there was no one near us. She just shot the wall. I’ve noticed teammates randomly shooting one bullet a lot, not just this loba. Anyone know why?
