The streamer Shroud encountered a cheater in one of his games in Apex Legends. Instead of simply ignoring it and looking for the next game, Shroud asked him questions and received brief answers.
Who is Shroud interviewing? In one of his recent Apex Legends streams, the streamer Shroud came across a cheater. The player used an aimbot to easily take out the talented streamer, who is known for his exceptionally high skills in shooters.
When the player kills him, Shroud says “He just destroyed me. Jesus. Is he cheating?”
Shroud then observes the player’s gameplay and quickly identifies the aimbot that takes over aiming for the player. He also notices that the player’s movement is good and he could probably do well even without cheats:
“What’s sad isn’t that he’s cheating. What’s sad is that he’s really not bad at playing and cheating at the same time. The guy could really have a good time if he played the game normally. Instead, he uses an aimbot. His movement is really good. If he just played normally, he could be pretty good,” says Shroud.
The cheaters of Apex Legends have already complained about their unfair treatment.
This is how unusual the interview went: It didn’t take long for the player to reveal that he was watching Shroud’s stream. In response to the questions the streamer asked during his broadcast, the cheater answered with actions, such as nodding in the game.
Then Shroud came up with the idea for an unconventional type of interview. The streamer asks questions in the stream, and the cheater is supposed to shoot at in-game items to respond.
“Why are you cheating?” Shroud asks. The player then shoots the letters “IDK” into a stone wall. So he’s saying I don’t know. Shroud explains to the cheater that his gameplay really isn’t bad and that he would probably feel better about himself if he eliminated his opponents without cheats.
After that, the player shot something like dollar signs into the walls.
Then Shroud asks him how old he is. In response, he is told the number “25”. But Shroud doesn’t quite believe that.
“That’s all I wanted to know,” says Shroud, ending the viewing. “So he’s a 25-year-old kid. There’s no way he’s 25. That’s a lie. A 25-year-old would never behave like that.
For dealing with a cheater, these two players had a very special idea, which probably angered the affected person quite a bit.
