    This involved a wild situation where someone was giving the pros hacks like aimbots and wallhacks as they were playing in the Finals event, effectively ruining the entire thing without anyone actually attempting to cheat.

    Damn.

    The clips are pretty crazy:

    • Genburten hacked (and Zer0’s POV)
    • ImperialHal hacked

    Looking at Titanfall and Titanfall 2, Respawn has a pretty fuckin terrible track record with multiplayer security.

    Goddamn, it really did hit Forbes. Now I’m really interested in how Respawn will handle this one.

      I feel like the hackers got what they wanted out of it.

        They definitely did. This will easily be the top Apex news for at least a week.
