One of the highest ranked Apex Legends players in the Predator division has been kicked out of the game due to claims that they were using aimbot.
Apex Legends Ranked Game is the most competitive mode, allowing players to test their skills against others and climb the ladder in hopes of earning that elusive Predator badge.
However, there have been some issues with the playlist as some players have been found to gain unfair advantages over their opponents, either through ‘team building’ or with the help of tricks like aimbots and wallhacks.
Some of the top ranked players have been accused of hacking in Apex Legends.
While Respawn quickly bans most of these cheats, there have been a few who climbed the ladder undetected, and even one of the best PC Predator players was accused of hacking.
An Apex Legends player contacted some of the developers, alleging that PC player number 4, “bob8511101”, was cheating cheekily and asked that they be banned.
“The number 4 predator on PC and its squad is hardcore plucking. How the hell doesn’t the apex forbid them before they go that high? added.

The developers also found out that the player was cheating, and Respawn producer Josh Medina revealed that he had issued a ban shortly after the clips appeared.
It also revealed that, after imposing punishments on other players for cheating, Respawn does not usually provide updates to each player once they report someone.
BTW, I banned this guy this morning, we just didn’t send messages like this

This is not the first time that some of the best Apex Legends players have been accused of cheating in the ranked game, as it was previously revealed that many of the best players had teamed up in their games to increase their MMR.
Fortunately, most of these cheats have finally been caught and banned.
