Apex Legends #1 Predator banned: Everything we know
The #1 Predator in Apex Legends has recently been banned. This alleged cheater has been known for harassing top-tier ranks in the game and had reached 250k+ RP before action was taken. The community has been waiting for quite some time as this player has reportedly ruined several games, which makes them think EA took considerably longer to act.
Predator is the highest rank in the game, and only the best of the best have the potential to grind their way there. The path has no shortcuts, but interestingly enough, this banned player seemed to have found a loophole in the system but not for long.
This article will explore the situation and explain the details that are currently known.
Everything we know so far behind the banning of the #1 Predator in Apex Legends
The #1 Predator in EA's battle royale, who had 250k+ RP, has been banned. According to the post on the subreddit r/apexlegends, this has satisfied the community as this player was allegedly a cheater who has been running rampant in the top-tier lobbies.
However, according to notable players Keon and Enoch, the person was banned not due to hacking but for account sharing.
To put into context the extent of their dominance, the second highest-rated player in the leaderboard was Keon with 150k+ RP, 100k behind the banned player. Having said that, post-ban, Keon becomes the current #1 Predator in the world.
Fans considered this ban a poor response to hackers by EA considering the amount it took to assess the situation, potentially ruining the experience of top-tier ranked gameplay. thenayr commented on the above post to explain how this shows the poor state of the game.
"What a pathetic and sad reflection of the state of this game currently. The fact that this person held the #1 spot for that long and ruined hundreds upon hundreds of games for legit ranked players. Just astonishing how bad apex has gotten."
Moreover, this was just a singular incident getting spotted due to the alleged hacker reaching #1 Predator. Cheaters have been running rampant in the game in all tiers of ranked gameplay without fear and EA is possibly close to deploying a ban wave to eradicate these nuisances.
