For Respawn, the plug-ins and cheating in the “APEX Legends” game are equally troublesome. Recently, there is a new BUG vulnerability that can prevent players from deducting points in the points match. After the official investigation and blockade, The vast majority of cheating players who abused the loopholes came from the PS4 platform.
This loophole is called “Dashboarding”, which means that the player forcibly closes the game after losing the game, so that they will not lose RP and maintain their own ranking.
However, there is not only one point loophole, the other is the problem of the matching mechanism, which causes high-end point players to join the Bronze Class to abuse novices and obtain more RP.
These are matchmaking bans that have varied lengths depending on extent of abuse. Sucks to miss the opening of a new season, come back next time around and enjoy the game how its meant to be played.

According to a report from Respawn official security officer Conor Ford, they have blocked 2,086 cross-platform cheating accounts at the end of July, of which PS4 platform accounts accounted for 1,965, far surpassing PC, Xbox and Switch platforms.
Of course, some people are curious as to why most cheating accounts are concentrated on the PS4 platform, and some players who know about it said that the “Dashboarding” vulnerability only applies to the PS4 platform. In any case, the penalties for these players with Ban accounts are different, but most of them may miss the revised version of “Feather Rebirth” in the new season.
