Apex Legends has become synonymous with cheaters in recent days. Things have spiraled out of control in the last few months, especially in the ranked mode, to the point where some top pro players and content creators banded together under the “#SaveApexRanked” banner spearheaded by NRG Sweetdreams.
Despite many attempts from the security department of Respawn, cheaters always find a workaround.

Unfortunately, things aren’t really improving at the rate Respawn assured. At the moment, many dedicated players, content creators, and pro players are constantly complaining about the current state of the game.

As this is a free-to-play multiplayer game, cheaters will always be a thing. The battle between game devs and cheaters will always be ever-lasting. Hopefully, Respawn can turn things around in the way they promised soon.
