Just like any online multiplayer game,Apex Legendshas its issues with its hackers and cheaters. There are all kinds out there, but one of the most common is an auto-aim cheat. This basically means from anywhere and any way, the hacker can shoot their target with an insane amount of accuracy, beaming them from across the map in many situations.Apex Legendsis far from the only one with issues like these, withCall of Duty: Warzone’s new Ricochet anti-cheat offloading 50 thousand hackersin one day, but it’s something that can ruin a game

InApex Legends, players can observe the squad that killed them if they are suspicious of their death. It isn’t perfect, but it’s something to confirm what they may suspect. However, one recent observer got to see a hilarious encounter between a hacker and a prowler.

The thing about auto-aim cheats is that they lock on to an enemy target and nothing but, allowing players to shoot at them in insane ways and taking all theskill or luck out of a goodApex Legendsgun. One hacker utilizing this cheat discovered the downside of this when, between them and their target, was a Prowler on Storm Point. Prowlers are universally considered annoying on the map, especially when in a firefight, but it adds another layer to combat and thought process when rotating. For the hacker, though, they couldn’t shoot the Prowler.

Despite shooting straight out the prowler, every bullet went toward the hacker’s enemy across the map. This resulted in the Hacker needing to punch the prowler to death, which they are able to do, but it’s a hilarious interaction nonetheless. It doesn’t really help his enemy, as theGibraltar with Red Shieldstakes minor damage from the Prowler and manages to kill it with a few melee attacks, yet it does show off at least one benefit of the Prowlers.

Some, in the comments, even called these Prowlers the realanti-cheat system ofApex Legends. That’s obviously a joke, but there might be some wisdom in it. While some players with the right skill sets can still manage to beat hackers, someone who is concerned might just consider leading them to a prowler den. It’s a risky gambit, but at the very least, it’s going to give the hacker a harder time.

Apex Legendsis available for PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One.
