PATCH AT A GLANCE
Official source ↗Quick take
First week of EA Javelin AnticheatSince the transition to EA Javelin Anticheat, we’ve continued to monitor, identify, and disrupt cheating across Apex Legends. We wanted to share an update on what we’ve seen since the transition, including the volume of cheat attempts prevented, enforcement actions taken, and the types of cheating we’ve disrupted. Before diving into the numbers, we should discuss cheat prevention. This is an important distinction when looking at anti-cheat numbers.
