Apex Legendspros take revenge against “gigacheaters” by forming a 15-man vigilante squad to kill the hacker.
It’s an unfortunate reality in Apex that cheaters aren’t rare to find, with various pros and content creators regularly posting videos of these pesky hackers in their matches.
Be it a horde of botshunting ImperialHal down, orHisWattson calling outthe devs about the pains of playing against cheaters in his lobbies, it’s often a big talking point.
Pros are now taking matters into their own hands it seems, forming vigilante kill squads to hunt down cheaters in their Pred lobbies.
15 PROS TEAMED UP IN PRED LOBBY TO SHIT ON THE GIGACHEATERS!!! WHAT THE FUCK!!! 🔥🔥🔥pic.twitter.com/4yG6fWGwcX
In astream clip posted by lou, a player for Complexity, we can see him IGL-ing a 15-man kill squad, all in an attempt to kill a single cheater. And in his squad, we can see some notable names, with gdolphn and Mande.
“15 PROS TEAMED UP IN A PRED LOBBY TO S*** ON THE GIGACHEATERS!” lou captioned his tweet.
Huddled together in a building on Olympus, the squad attempted to overwhelm the cheater by jumping on them all at once, as if you can shoot one player at a time, you can’t shoot all of them at once.
However, the cheater was able to teleport away from the vigilante squad once they jumped on them and subsequently crashed the server to not let lou and his gang get the satisfaction of killing them.

Despite the pros laughing the incident off, cheating is still a problem in Apex with regular occurrences of cheating in Predator-level lobbies. So perhaps we’ll be seeing more vigilante super squads soon.
