Like many big online games, some portion of the playerbase for Respawn's Apex Legends are engaging in bad behavior and cheating. The studio has now responded to this and outlined some of the ways it's going about weeding out cheaters from the battle royale.

Respawn is cracking down on cheating in Apex Legends by hiring more people to enact manual bans on accounts and developing new tools that automatically detect and prevent DDoS attacks. Respawn is also looking into methods to catch and remove cheaters more quickly during matches.

"Play against cheaters sucks," Respawn said. "We'll keep you updated as we ship the above changes and pursue new ones."
