[12:50pm PT]: Cheers for the questions and patience. There was a bit of a slow start due to scheduling conflicts, but folks stayed a bit later to try and get some more questions answered. We appreciate the feedback, suggestions, and questions, and we'll see you in the next one!

Hey, r/ApexLegends!

Breakout’s Ranked Reloaded has been live for a few weeks and we want to hear about your experience so far this season. Hopefully you’ve had a chance to drop in and at least get out Bronze.

Im unable to send free gifts for the flatline tracker . And my 2 way verification is set up, I did all that. But I still can’t send. Can you look into it ?

Is there an error when you attempt to send or at what step are you unable to send? Are you friends in-game or on the platform level? Gifting requires friends via EA at the in-game level for a bit, full outline here if you need. If none of that helps, reach out via support for assistance.

Why do AMAs always make these posts like a day before the person doing the AMA comments? It’s the 27th and they are responding on the 28th. It’s kinda stupid to let this fill up with comments and then have them respond instead of responding in real time.

TLDR: in our experience posting early and collecting questions ahead of time allows us to answer more questions.

I actually figured it out and it’s all my fault. I assumed I used my Xbox account but apparently my Steam account is a different email. Thanks for replying though,I just sent my first five gifts.👍🏻

Glad it was a quick solve. GLHF collecting that Flatline. o7

The question everyone has - what is the plan for actual and successful control of the cheating issue?

We have seen player feedback on cheating and are keeping an eye on the community discussion around it. While we can’t share specifics (to avoid tipping cheaters off on our anti-cheat efforts), please know that we have an entire team dedicated to anti-cheat efforts who are on it. Dealing with cheaters is an ongoing arms race and is something that we are always working on. Your reports are an important part in helping us find bad actors, so please continue to send any reports of cheating in-game or via support so that they can be reviewed and actioned appropriately. We know it's frustrating not to get meaningful communications on this topic so please know we are working on it and will look to share updates when we can.

Can we discuss cheating and plans to combat it? The season is great and ranked feels good but cheating has gone rampant.

Not much we can share atm, but an investigation is happening. More here.

Controller is clearly the dominant method of input and it is not close, as seen in the competitive scene and the fact that 90% of everyone i play with/against is on it. Are there any plans to nerf aim assist or separate the lobbies based on input? Ranked is to the point where I actively avoid close range encounters and feel like I have to use a shotgun to combat against it. I want to play apex and not anti-aim assist. smgs/ARs arent fun anymore bc of this. Tracking used to feel rewarding, now I just feel like im putting myself at a severe disadvantage.

Also, from a viewer perspective of ALGS, it is not fun to watch people on controller and wall hack/scan whenever possible with this visual clutter meta.

We are definitely aware of the aim assist discussion and have been keeping track of it. It is a challenging topic because it's not as simple as changing a single value in the system. Ensuring that Apex feels the same across all platforms (previous and current gen) and regions is a unique challenge. We're one of the few shooters that allows for top-end play across both MnK and controller for a reason - it's a really tough problem space! Please know we are actively working on it with a goal of ensuring a fair and competitive play experience regardless of input.

Why are we only allowed to use our ranked charms on ONE gun? I want to use my diamond charm on other guns too!

It's a suggestion that we can pass along!
