For the entirety of Season 28 (Feb 10- May 5), across all platforms, we issued a total of 139,697 bans on accounts for various cheating infractions. Some highlights for specific bans:
DMA: 4,290
HWID Spoofer: 7,136
Automatic Hardware Detection: 10,658
Xim/Titan: 3,865
We removed a total of 7,912,251 RP from accounts with confirmed cheating infractions.
Split 1: 4,413,776
Split 2: 3,498,475
In Season 28, we implemented multiple new detection systems, while updating and overhauling existing ones. This equipped us to remove even more cheaters from our game and obtain the lowest match infection rate ever hit on Apex at 4.1%.
Additionally, the Anti-Cheat Team’s work kept our competitive scene secure, with 547 denied entries into ALGS tournaments.
We are currently working on more updates, enhancements and detections for Season 29 , and we are excited to share more soon!
