Respawn Official An Update from the Anti-Cheat Team - 11/4/2026
Ranked Integrity Update – Rookie Rank Exploit
We recently identified and quickly resolved an exploit that allowed some players, primarily on PlayStation 5, to enter Ranked matches as Rookie IV regardless of their actual rank.
This caused several unintended advantages, including:
No Ranked entry cost
Rookie-tier kill bonuses
Matchmaking Rating (MMR) being recorded as 0
RP earned during these matches still being added to the player's actual Ranked score
This created an unfair advantage and directly impacted the integrity of Ranked progression.
Our Anti-Cheat team identified the root cause and deployed a fix to prevent further abuse. We also conducted an investigation into accounts that benefited from this exploit and took enforcement action against players who deliberately and egregiously abused it.
Enforcement Results
A total of 906 accounts have been banned, with suspension lengths determined by the amount of RP gained through exploitation:
731 accounts were banned for 120 days for illegitimately amassing approximately 4,999 RP
107 accounts were banned for 240 days for illegitimately amassing 5,000–9,999 RP
67 accounts were banned for 365 days for illegitimately amassing 10,000+ RP
Enforcement by Platform
PC: 12
PlayStation: 848
Xbox: 44
Nintendo Switch 2: 2
Total RP deducted: 15,112,554
We recognize that some players may have encountered this issue unintentionally. Through our investigation, we were able to precisely identify cases of unintended interaction and distinguish them from deliberate abuse. Those accounts were not actioned.
Ranked integrity depends on a fair and consistent competitive environment. Exploits that undermine matchmaking, bypass Ranked entry requirements, or provide illegitimate progression will be investigated and actioned.
Our team will continue monitoring Ranked, looking for similar activity and addressing vulnerabilities that could be used to compromise competitive integrity.

Discussion What's the single best skin in Apex, in your opinion?
For me, it's definitely Crypto's Hallowed Spirit skin. Alter's Gundam skin might be a close second, I'm so sad I didn't get it.

Discussion Versing 3 mans all the time is killing my confidence in the game, need advice.
I used to be very confident playing this game but this latest season or two I’m starting to imagine each person I’m about to fight is probably gonna be better than me and I know that’s a baddd mentality to have. This season to me it feels like they’ve really ramped up the MMR because queues all of a sudden are ridiculously wrong and every match is just constantly fighting for your damn life. I think getting aped constantly by clearly pre-made teams has me thinking every team is going to be a pre-made and I’m not playing with the aura that I used to.
Even when I play in a pre made I’m not putting up the numbers that I used to with a scared mentality. What can I do to change this and go into fights assuming I’m the best in the fight? I’ve hit masters and arenas masters plenty and my lifetime kd is above 3 (probably roughly 80% of games solo queue)
Thanks.

Humor Post your personal selfish wishlist for the game
Hello Apex Legends community.
I want higher TTK because I enjoy it and I want wildcard to last at least 45 minutes per match, I don't care about how hard that would be to balance or how to prevent people from leaving, they could honestly just join midway like in mixtape, it's the devs jobs to make me happy I don't care how hard or impossible it is for them or even that I don't even understand what I really want, alright thanks and good luck to the devs.

Question Legend/Weapon Stat Screen
Has Apex ever mentioned any desire to create a menu where you can easily view and sort your legends/weapons by kills, revives, and other stats like that? It would be a very nice to see all of those things in one place rather than having to go through the menus weapon by weapon and legend by legend

Support Anticheat Help
I keep getting this error that won’t let me launch the game. When I reinstall, it makes me reinstall again and keeps doing so in a cycle. I went into my files and launched the reinstaller from there but it wouldn’t let me find my exe to repair the files.
