After the many reports of cheating in Apex Legends’ latest Ranked mode, game developer Respawn has announced how it will confront cheaters, via its latest post on Reddit.
Last Friday, Respawn Community Manager Jay Frechette wrote: “We know reports of cheaters, especially in Ranked, have been a hot topic so this week we also wanted to provide a little visibility into some of the work that’s been going on behind the scenes to combat cheating.”
As seen on the post, these are the ways Respawn Entertainment will follow to combat cheaters:
- Using machine learning to create behavior models that detect and auto ban cheaters.
- Requiring TFA in certain regions on high risk accounts.
- Improving detection that identifies and bans new spam accounts before they are used.
- Ongoing work to adapt to new cheats.
- Matchmaking that matches detected cheaters and spammers together.
- Investigating how people party up for matches. Even if you are not specifically using a cheat, partying up with cheaters is still cheating.
- Increasing resources whether that be people or tech.
“As we’ve said before, the war against cheaters will be ongoing and remains a high priority for us. There will always be work to do, improvements to make, and new things to adapt to,” continues the post.
Players do have the options to report a cheater as well as to appeal if they have been banned in error.
