A massive ban wave in Apex Legends has players celebrating. They are already sharing experiences of banned cheaters and mocking them together.
This is the ban wave: Over the weekend, it became known that a massive ban wave swept through Apex Legends. Thousands of cheaters were banned, including those who felt safe while cheating.
For fair players, this is a reason to rejoice. They shared on Reddit the reactions of the banned cheaters and are having a great time.
The developers also spoke up and thanked the community for their help.
What players are saying about the ban wave
This is why it is being celebrated: The latest ban wave was particularly harsh. Even cheaters who usually created a new account after being banned were affected.
These players have cleverly gotten rid of a cheater:
The cheaters felt invulnerable: If they got banned, they simply created a new account.
This is still possible now, but the new account will also be banned after 10 minutes.
These cheaters have so far felt quite safe in Apex Legends. Many have even mocked Respawn, saying they would never manage to ban such cheaters. But the developers have now proven the opposite.
Players are feasting on the cheaters’ despair
This is how players despair: In the Apex Legends subreddit, there are now numerous examples of banned cheaters.
User SaladinsSaladbar provided a live ticker for a cheater’s stream. This cheater repeatedly tried to cheat in the game and was banned again within a very short time.
So the user shared 19 highlights from this stream on Reddit and shared it with the community like a live ticker.
At first, the cheater felt secure, thinking he was free from the ban and could solve it with programs – but that turned out to be an illusion. Every attempt to get rid of the hardware ban ended in failure, until he ultimately gave up.
The cheater is said to have finally said, “Alright, I need to find a new game to cheat in until I have a working spoofer program again.”
The stream ended with SaladinsSaladbar explaining on Reddit that the cheater played an angel game and is not playing Apex Legends anymore for the time being.
What is the general mood? Players are happy that Respawn is taking such strong action against cheaters. After it was already said that Apex Legends has a real problem with cheaters, it now seems to be going better for the developers.
There is a real euphoria among the threads, which have hundreds of comments and thousands of upvotes, in which players are celebrating the problems of the cheaters.
What does Respawn say? The developers have also commented on the positive comments. An employee from Respawn wrote in response to a player’s thanks: “No, that was thanks to you for bringing this kind of people to light, which helps us clean up the game faster.”
