Apex Legends is undoubtedly one of the most popular battle royale games out there currently. However, just like many popular online multiplayer games out there, this game too has a severe problem in regards to cheaters. Cheaters ruin the experience for players in almost every online multiplayer game out there, and Apex Legends is no exception. That is not all, there are also server DDOS that do the same thing, which is ruining the player’s experience. However, now Respawn has tweeted it would take new measures to improve the scenario regarding cheaters, and server DDOS in Apex Legends.

In a new tweet from Respawn, they have made it clear that the team is actively working on reducing the number of cheaters, as well as preventing the chances of servers getting DDOS’ed. According to the tweet, the team is firstly going to get new people for banning players manually. Secondly, it would also be implementing more tools, and that would automatically detect these attacks and stop them. Thirdly, there would also be investing more ways in which they can quickly catch the cheaters, and remove them from the games.

The Respawn team is pursuing several options to crack down on cheating in @playapex:

⚒️ Hiring more people to focus on manual bans
🔧 Developing more tools to automatically detect and stop DDOS attacks
🛑 Investigating ways to more quickly catch and remove cheaters from games

Cheating is a big problem in every online multiplayer game, not just Apex Legends. However, the most important thing for the developers is to work towards better anti-cheat tools. Games such as Rainbow Six: Siege have pretty good anti-cheat. So, it is definitely not impossible for Apex Legends to have something that can be just as good. But, now that Respawn has officially tweeted that it is working towards having better anti-cheat measures, the things are most definitely looking good. All that is left to see now is when these new things that are talked of get implemented, and how efficiently they work.
