Ok, you might be good at Apex Legends, but odds are you’re not good enough to be able to gaze through solid surfaces. That said, following some incidents of hackers giving pro players some competitive advantages they didn’t ask for, players are currently concerned that they might be at risk of having something similar happen to them.
Yup, the North American finals of the Apex Legends Global Series - a competition that sees people who’re very good at shooting each other, well, shoot each other - have recently had to be postponed midway through because people were getting unexpected help. It looks like an exploit being used on the game’s anti-cheat measures could be to blame, but it’s probably best to take a break until that’s officially confirmed or denied.
What happened to kick all of this off? Well, Apex pro Noyan Ozkose, who goes by the handle Genburten, suddenly found himself able to see every other player in his session, despite there being, you know, walls in between them and him. It looks like he was basically forced to hop straight out of the match once he realised what was going on, which is a pretty big headache.
