Respawn’s war on Apex boosters rolls on with major May ban wave

Respawn banned around 3,100 Apex Legends players for boosting each other in ranked lobbies by trading kills for points on May 8 as the studio’s war against cheaters continues.

This form of boosting has been running rampant in Respawn’s battle royale in recent months. It reached the point where console leaderboards were reportedly filled with boosters, and since nothing was being done about it, a third-party site created a private tool to detect lobbies with boosters, highlight the booster’s accounts, and more. Pressure had been mounting on Respawn to ban them ever since, and now the deed is done.
