Respawn has recently introduced a new set of security enhancements for Apex Legends following a troubling incident during an ALGS tournament. On March 17, the game encountered a series of hacks that disrupted a private pro ALGS lobby, causing significant chaos. The ensuing debate questioned the effectiveness of Apex Legends’ third-party anti-cheat system, Easy Anti-Cheat, and raised concerns about potential malicious activities.
In response to the hacks, Respawn took swift action and announced a comprehensive security update to address the issue. The company emphasized the importance of game and player security, pausing the competition to address the situation promptly. The new security updates aim to safeguard the Apex Legends player community and ensure a secure gaming experience for all users.
While specifics regarding the hacker’s exploit were not disclosed, Respawn assured players that they are actively working to resolve the issues. The Apex Legends Esports account provided updates on the affected matches, highlighting their commitment to maintaining security and competitive integrity in tournaments.
Furthermore, Respawn confirmed that there would be no changes to the Split 1 Playoffs in May and promised additional information regarding the impacted NA Pro League Finals. The announcement coincided with statements from Easy Anti-Cheat, the third-party anti-cheat system used by Apex Legends, debunking any rumors of vulnerabilities in their system. Epic Games, another user of the anti-cheat system, supported these claims, further reinforcing its reliability.
Overall, the new security measures underscore Respawn’s dedication to ensuring a safe and fair gaming environment for all Apex Legends players.
