Last week, Apex Legends’ growing community of cheats was hit with a significant ban wave as Respawn issued hardware ID bans preventing players from creating new accounts following a ban. Happiness was short-lived, however, as players found that a new type of cheat had surfaced in the wake of Respawn’s actions.

A post on the Apex Legends subreddit last night warned players about the rise of “soft-cheating.” According to the author of that post, who claims to play the game competitively, this is where cheaters “are reducing their aimbots to level indiscernible to an anti-cheat algorithm.”

While a spectator might be able to see an aimbot locking on, the new cheats have a built-in “buffer,” meaning they deliberately miss enough shots to fool accuracy counters contained within an anti-cheat service. These cheats are potentially even more damaging than maxed-out aimbots as “new players a disillusioned because they think they are being outplayed on pure skill, and veteran players being killed instantly makes one suspicious of cheats which actually punishes good players.”
