Despite numerous fans calling him out, an Apex Legends player has been cheating on stream for a week and has yet to be punished.
Apex Legends, like many of its battle royale competitors, has had issues with cheating and hackers in recent years, particularly at the top of the Ranked competition. There are, however, a lot of casual cheaters.
While Respawn has attempted to combat hacking with additional security measures and ban waves, plenty of god mode and wallhack cheaters have managed to slip through the cracks, causing players headaches on a regular basis.
While some cheaters prefer to remain undetected for as long as possible, others are more than happy to flaunt their advantages in the most obvious way possible.
AutismGaming999, a notable cheater on Twitch, has been streaming for a week straight using wallhacks, an aimbot, and even speed boost cheats.
At first, the channel was relatively unknown, attracting only a few hundred viewers for short streams. It has, however, gained traction. On April 10th, their live stream had a peak of nearly 5,000 viewers, with the VOD being viewed nearly 50,000 times.
Many players have also flagged the channel on social media, tagging Respawn and their security team in the hopes of getting them banned sooner rather than later.
The player, who has also managed to have their name removed from the in-game feed, has stated that they will continue to stream while using cheats until they are banned. They haven’t yet been sanctioned by Respawn or Twitch.
They’ve been climbing the leaderboards while playing Ranked games, robbing some players of their experience. As a result, it’ll only be a matter of time before they’re hit with the banhammer.
