The Apex Legends team has recently shared a critical update regarding its Easy Anti-Cheat (EAC) system. Electronic Arts and Respawn Entertainment are committed to introducing numerous updates over time that will address rampant exploits and misuse.
So far, Respawn Entertainmenthas banned over 6 million user accounts, which, on average, amounts to 100,000 gamers each month.
Like many shooters, Apex Legends has been plagued by cheaters since day one. Although the developers have introduced several anti-cheat updates over time, none were as effective as the company hoped for.
Despite the company's best efforts, the community grew restless. So, last month, Respawn Entertainment finally admitted they had a major issue.
Apex Legends Game Director Steven Ferreira had this to say in an interview with IGN:
With the introduction of the Easy Anti-Cheat system, the developers are finally making strides toward that goal.
Does the EAC System Make a Difference?
According to the official EA statement, their anti-cheat team now operates worldwide, offering around-the-clock support. The company emphasizes the Asia-Pacific region, where the biggest percentage of cheaters originate.
The system is dependent on kernel technology while offering several layers of protection to users.
