The number 4th and 6th ranked Apex predator players on the Xbox platform have been permanently banned by Respawn for using DDoS attacks that caused many server crashes.

Recently a new trend emerged among hackers to use DDoS attacks as soon as they get knocked in a ranked game. Meaning these exploiters would intentionally use DDoS attacks to crash Apex Legends’ servers to avoid getting demoted from their top spot.

This sort of crashes became widespread especially in high ELO lobby like Masters and Predator. As a result, it was almost impossible for players to climb the ranked ladder. Things were really bad in the Xbox servers as video evidence provided by some players clearly shows that some top Apex Predator players on the platform were behind those DDoS attacks.

Undeniable proof that the #4 and #6 Xbox Preds are DDoSing servers after we knock them. I’m posting on Twitter for more attention but please help get this traction – Console Ranked is literally unplayable with 5 of every 6 games being DDoSed in Pred lobbies

The clip revealed that as soon as players knocked these top predators on Xbox, the server would immediately crash afterward. Later, this clip garnered a lot of attention from the Apex Legends community. Many rallied to have these abusers banned from the game altogether.
