In an update to fans last week, the developer of the popular new battle royale title Apex Legends told fans its stance on cheaters. Unsurprisingly, Respawn doesn't like them very much, and says it has already banned over 16,000 users found to be fighting dirty.
It's unclear how many PlayStation 4 players are guilty of cheating, but the studio wants to eliminate them regardless. To that end, it's heavily hinted that a way to report cheaters within the game is coming. "We have heard your feedback about a report feature in the game. I’ll just say that’s a very good idea," says Respawn's community manager on Reddit.
Have you encountered cheaters while playing Apex Legends on PS4? Fight fair in the comments below.

How do you cheat?
@Gunners85
Most will be pc gamers who use programme etc to cheat, pc games are riddled with cheaters.
I don't understand the appeal tbh. If you're cheating isn't it just like shooting fish in a barrel? If there's no challenge, where's the point?
A lot of people claim the "best" player in the world right now "Dizzy" also cheats but thats obviously PC format.
Me personally i just suck, i do lose a lot of gun battles but the game is brilliant i really love it ive forgotten about PubG now
No buy I keep getting a error code and kicked out in the middle of a match. So annoying. Playing on a Pro.
If anyone knows how to cheat can you leave details here please? Fed up with getting killed by every squad I come up against!
(I am joking. I just suck at this game)
Problem with the report feature is it can be abused just look at Fortnite with its report feature because apparently people are tube sniping etc
I've played this game a lot and have yet to encounter any obvious cheating. Not sure how easy it would be to do on a ps4. Hopefully it's mainly a pc issue.
I’ve put a ton of hours in and not seen anyone I suspsect of cheating on PS4.
PC has always had massive issues with cheats and always will do. I suspect 99.9% of that 16,000 are all on PC.

"Where's the fun in playing fair?"
Man that's a lot of cheating players.
@Tha_Likely_Lad
I suck too! I’m enjoying the game, though when I get into 1-on-1 battles I usually come off worse 🙄
@THEH4MM most likely mate
@Nightcrawler71 yea which is odd because I'm pretty decent at PubG I guess it's the higher movement speed
Cheating sucks. It ruins the fun of everyone you are playing against and must make you feel empty inside.
Only people with fragile egos feel the need to cheat in multiplayer games. If you are serious about a game, improve your skill and learn to get good.
If you are unable to get good (as not everyone is skilled) then find a game that suits your skills or play single player games. Don’t cheat and ruin it for others.
@suikoden i know and people want cross play with them
and this is why no one want's to cross play with pc users, good reason too, not sure why it's a big thing atm.
I was banned recently for no reason. I then proceeded to make a new account, only to be banned an hour later. I have now created another account, and have managed to play 6 hours worth of Apex Legends so far. My first account had over 90 hours, and I had just unlocked Mirage, only to be banned an hour after this. I contacted EA support a few days ago, and I am yet to here back from them. I am very frustrated, and annoyed that I have to deal with this crap. I'm sure that this issue will be resolved, but if not EA can go F themselves
@THEH4MM uhm because you can't? PC on the other hand yet they claim hackers is more rampant on console lmao
@mimiku A common misconception, but I can asure you in many games there are people cheating on console. It's far less common and it's also far more work, but it is possible.
@huyi Agreed
@Tha_Likely_Lad truth be told, specially due to years away from gaming (I'm 32) I'm a gold medal at sucking in most competitive games. Nevertheless, I have a lot of fun playing and most of the times laugh very hard at my own stupid mistakes. Can understand the need to cheat. I guess it's more about how other people will perceive you etc
@Kienda or just accept the fact that you're no good. No problem in that, as long as you enjoy your time.
