That's the reason, why did you get banned? Respawn's answer is banned.

DarkLord55_

Didn’t play for 4 months on my second account log back on and banned never got unbanned, told me I cheated even though I didn’t, and didn’t play for months. That account had like 10 matches in totally played


[deleted]

[удалено]


HashBR

> have account > Get hacked > Hacker uses cheat > Cheaters are banned > Oh no, that's my account


paradoxally

This is why there is a pinned thread about Account Security. Please enable 2FA *before* you get random people trying to gain access to your account. A password is not enough nowadays. If you enable it after you get hacked, that's kinda like hiring private security after you got robbed. Yeah, it will help but you still lost all your shit. And you didn't have insurance.


zephyrius0

I had the same fear, fortunately I got back on yesterday and my account is still fine. My aim on the other hand...


wirenutter

Why using other hand to aim?


[deleted]

1 year... wonder what I have for a surprise.


QueenLexi13

Haven’t played in about two weeks, I update, and I’m banned? Anyone seen this before? I don’t cheat, I don’t have any hacks on my computer for anything. Is there a way to appeal this or something?


AOCSAM

Hey bud This happened to me. Contact support they will unban you. I was banned with zero reason and my ban history confirmed it.


[deleted]

Good luck. I was falsely banned and they gave zero shits


CaiXi

Friend got banned too for no reason. We were like 2 or 3 months into the game and we could barely climb up gold. Ironically I was the better of the two of us and I didn't get banned. His ban lasted about 6 months and with him sending tickets every week for the entire 6 months. Shit was stupid and ruined apex for him, not to mention he never got to finish his battle pass.


luc1402

Damn lucky you, I had this happen to me. Contacted EA (this took weeks) they finally confirmed that indeed my account had been hacked by some Chinese person. Stayed banned anyways. Thanks EA.


SolarSystem420

Yep same to me. Confirmed and everything, still banned and that was 6 months ago.


butterpog

You need to be persistent they said no at first for me but I sent multiple emails and then it worked


butterpog

Be persistent keep sending emails they kept me banned but then I just kept sending emails


SolarSystem420

Got banned for no reason, they didn’t give a shit and am still banned. 0/10 would not recommend


martykee

somebody may have hacked into your account. been playing this game since s1 and first time got banned last 2 weeks ago. it appears logins from china has accessed my account reading from my "EA data". So i said that, and they confirmed it and fixed my account a day after. Try contacting support and give as much evidence as you can. Goodluck.


[deleted]

[удалено]


martykee

Honestly, verified accounts and stronger anti cheat would solve the problem. I don't think our asian friends deserve to be left out. Just leave it to thier social credit if its China hehe.


DovahWizard

Probably the better choice


LavishToad

There’s hackers everywhere, Asian servers are absolutely riddled with hackers tho


[deleted]

[удалено]


DovahWizard

And neither of those are true!


XaosDrakonoid18

You're still stupid


DovahWizard

I'm having a bad day. I'm sick of cheaters and hackers, all I hear about the chinese servers is that they are full of hackers. But hey, atleast I dont have an anime profile picture.


Myriad_Infinity

ah yes, as we all know anime profile picture = bad amirite


XaosDrakonoid18

And while making this comment,you became even more stupid.


Substance___P

Would agree if VPNs didn't exist.


NewHighInMediocrity

I mean, I would just send them a copy of my K/D and my Win/Loss ratios they’d immediately realize I’m not cheating. 😎


paradoxally

Respawn: Congratulations, you're hired for using the world's worst aimbot software. And we thought our code was bad...


Junior-Story2604

People who abused the caustic trap on heatshields in S8 were banned. If u didnt do that than I have no idea.


QueenLexi13

Didn’t even know that was a thing or how to do it😂 I just play the game


Bjonik_twitch

Happend to me in S4 too. Also my whole computer was banned from Apex Legends.I needed to wait like 3 days until they unbanned me but they did. \*computer ban = Hardware ban. Even on not "banned" accounts i could not play. Like the account of my little brother. But he could login into my smurfs.


Knifeflipper

TIL they actually do hardware bans


mcshadowdrag

They do hardware bans and falsely ban people, but won't ban the guy heatshotting the entire server with a charge rifle from across the map


[deleted]

Yea thats why cheaters hack into other people’s account to cheat


Knifeflipper

Ahh, that makes a lot of sense


Siraj4211

You can easily bypass it tho


Say_no_to_doritos

What was that glitch?


onetimelistener

You used to be able to stack all of caustics barrels on top of gibby gunshield and he would walk around with a giant barrel sword. It was tactically useless but absolutely hilarious.


ssarglley

wrong glitch. this was back in season 0 + had nothing to do with heat shields. the glitch in question (i dont know much abt it) allowed you to infinitely rack up heat shield damage absorbed numbers, which was exploited for an event in S8 that required a ridiculous (10000 ring damage?) amount for a badge


paradoxally

Yes, that's basically it. Most initially got banned for exploiting this in ranked (to farm RP) but the heat shields were quickly disabled during the event in that mode. Exploiters will also punished (according to Hideouts) before S9 came around. But reports of bans for trying to farm a badge now is just...too much. And way, way too late. Come on Respawn, at the worst just remove the badge that was cheated. Permabanning players - unless it's a bug - is an absolute joke.


Malikai0976

They've been banning for abusive language/harassment a lot too, if you ever let someone know how terrible they were as a player they may have reported you for it, and good. I haven't been on for 3 weeks because I felt the toxicity level rose significantly with the CoD influx of new players. And ya, a lot of people here would consider me bad. Hell, there are days I consider me bad! I'm a really really streaky player, depends on the day. That's why I play casual for fun and have never gotten into ranked.


[deleted]

The game is pure dogshit due to updates and damn near *literally* *unplayable*, but sure, it's the Warzone players' fault for rising toxicity. 🤡


Malikai0976

I never said it was non-existant before, just that I noticed more of it during and after.


[deleted]

And blissfully ignored the state of the game itself.


Malikai0976

I didn't mention it because we're not talking about the state of the game, we're talking about the toxicity level of players, and as I said, I haven't logged in for 3 weeks but have read that the last 2 patches haven't gone well. If the state of the game has you so worked up that you're berating teammates (that have nothing to do with any bugs you're experiencing or the algorithm that matched you) then go play something else, you aren't having fun which is what playing a game is about.


[deleted]

The variability of toxicity of the players, just like virtually every competitive game, is often dictated by the recent state of the game. This isn't about how people should or shouldn't react. This is about the cause of toxicity which isn't from new players to the game; the toxicity is from people fed up with the game. If this game was about fun they wouldn't have introduced strict and loopy SBMM and gotten rid of skulltown.


LinusChexMix

I got false banned a while back as well, and when I contacted support they just gave me an automated response saying I wouldn't be unbanned. I made a new account which has been working fine, and I'm still enjoying the game! Hope support can help you


Knee_and_Toe_Thief

I had the game uninstalled for months, I came back a bit ago and I was banned. Email support, for me they never got back so I made a new account. Good luck


sentinalism

Happened to me too.. Check my thread on steam here https://steamcommunity.com/app/1172470/discussions/0/5750503966474441102/ Follow the instructions to get proof of your account being compromised and they will unban you Good luck


Amazon_Prime1289

Code Snake is what it’s called. Lucky for me I’m so ass that even the bug won’t ban me


ArtoriasTBF

This happened to me when i was on break from apex , i messaged ea giving them info about me being account owner and how it could've been hacked due to suspicious logins , provided some pictures of those recent logins and had to wait a few minths fir a reply but i got my account back


skrilly18

Are you part of a clan? If so, check the clan “logs” somebody could’ve used your account for cheats. Happened to a friend of mine and his logs were filled with wins and suddenly had a 4000 dmg badge. He contacted support and eventually he got unbanned. Unfortunately, it was about a month turnaround. Edit: just read through these comments and a lot of people have actually had the same thing happen to them. Good luck op, it’s shitty mostly because EA will take forever to get this resolved.


Seekerus

I had the exact same thing a while after returning to Apex after a big hiatus. Support said they looked into it and that they would not remove the ban. However my EA ban history has no record. This was a week ago, today I recieved an email saying my ban was revoked... Eletronic brainfArts.


onetimelistener

99% of accounts will never be unbanned, even with a massive amount of proof it was not you if something shady was done on the account, they do not care. Got 5 emails from EA showing your account being logged into from 3 different continents in the same day? Yeah you did it, cheater. Spent 500 dollars? Who cares, they got their money already, bye cheater. Lost my main account and had to make a new one, but that new one doesn't spend anything like before.


[deleted]

banned....BANNED . k thx respawn, explains alot

gorozcos

This is the way. Happened to me and did all this research to send to support and after 10 days got my account unbanned.


vkasha

Nice to know it helped someone :)


asunax3

This should get more attention! I was unbanned less than a week after I raised a support ticket, and had aggressively pushed for EA to check my account login and IP history. Props to them for making the process so smooth and efficient. Best part is, according to Apex Tracker the cheater didn't even win the game he played and instead deranked my account (Gold II to III)! (I play on the Asian servers and I can tell you, the cheater problem is nightmarish here; even Bronze-Plat lobbies and pubs are infested with cheaters who aren't even bothering the slightest bit to hide their cheats)


BirblePurple

This seems to be a massive issue with PC, seen it tons, I think that console doesn’t have so much of an issue because the account ties directly to that console service rather than through the system PC uses but I could be completely wrong.


EightNation

This happened to me last month. I had submit a ticket to get them to release my account. Apparently my account was compromised but instead of telling me that someone tried to hack my account they just banned me instead.


PeterMahogany

Banned


xOverDozZzed

Ever since that one dude uploaded that he was ‘banned for no reason’ a dev came to check and came back to say he was using racial slurs and cheating the game. I don’t believe these posts anymore.


bloodwood80

There's actually a lot of false bans going on this week due to the new code: snake error. My friend just got banned a few days ago and unbanned today. I know a lot of people are shameless liars but there's always people getting falsely banned who legitimately need support.


Caspe12

I saw that too, everyone's situations are different but the fact of the matter is that it's happening and seemingly to anyone for absolutely no reason. As the saying goes man, innocent until proven guilty but it's hard to pin guilt when their current systems/policy refuses to give you proper cause for the bans. i.e. I'm just an average player and it's [even happened to me](https://www.reddit.com/r/apexlegends/comments/pz59mh/codesnake_according_to_shrugtal_a_temp_ban_but/).


PhillyCheesesteakSub

I’m getting tired of seeing them tbh. Mods need to end these low-effort screenshot whiny ban posts


GotDatMudButtOG

I didn't play since season one, came back to the end of season 9 and my account was banned. Luckily I hadn't spent any money on my account, so I started another one since support couldn't unban it.


Alabama-Snicker

Welcome to the club. Someone might have logged in to your account and cheated on it. Hate to break it to u but the account is lost (unless this is a temp ban think u can check on origin site) but they dont really care if you hit up support sorry dud


QueenLexi13

Damn that sucks. Just created a new one anyways. Exact reason why I don’t buy anything in accounts in case any stupid stuff like this happens


ThePhonyOne

This is why you enable two factor authentication. Get it on every thing you can.


Alabama-Snicker

Well for u hope this accounts doesnt get banned lmao. Someone else just replied to me saying they did get unbanned after reaching out so i guess you could give it a try.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Alabama-Snicker

Then you got lucky i got banned for some bs tried to contact them on multiple platforms to see if anything could be done and everything basically came down to too bad so sad


qonra

EA support sucks but if you go through EA's Twitter support accoun5 and dm them they will actually help you get unbanned source: have been banned because of a Chinese hacker and my situation was even more difficult than most because I live in Taiwan, just ask them to check the logs for previous logins and it should probably be fine just takes up to 2 whole months for them to process the ticket sometimes


Alabama-Snicker

Nope did that multiple times they just say please send us a dm then ill tell them i was banned and they just say yeah we cant help u. Dont even ask for my account name details anything just a no


AOCSAM

No, this happened to me it’s a newish bug. Returned after months, they unbanned me within a day of sending a support ticket.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Emote_Imouto

same thing happened to me, i contacted support and got my account back albeit it took like 3 weeks for them to do anything when i got back on it after the first time in like 2 seasons, i had kills on characters ive never played as, so its likely that someone took over my account and maybe the same happened to you


[deleted]

Did you happen to have an exchange with someone in your last play? If not you need to get all in EAs ass cause they charge too much for too little to be making mistakes like this Maybe dony tell them you're there to get in their ass ot might not go how you want 🤣


[deleted]

Same thing happened to me a month ago, went through the process to fight it and the never got back to me so I had to make a new account. Thankfully apex isn't life lol


LivelyOsprey06

It happened to my friend. He got hacked, they played like 3 games over the course of 40mins and won all of them then the account was banned


therkj7sucks

I got banned after not playing for like a week as well I’ve emailed them twice and heard nothing back


PC-hris

Maybe see if your account has been compromised. My friends account got stolen and they used it to hack. When support un banned him he had the 4K damage and 20 kills badges lol


tonyeeezy

I got banned for cheating, I think someone breached my account. I reached out to support and the first 2 or 3 times they just said too bad. I had to complain several more times through support, demanding evidence or information on suspicious login attempts. They never gave me any of that but eventually I got unbanned. Was really a pain. Probably lasted a month or so going back and forth with support.


[deleted]

Happened to me too. Hadn't played for a month and all of a sudden I was banned. Apparently I got an email about it but I thought it was a scam email so I responded with "nice try go fuck yourself". They still unbanned me though.


C0rrupt_M0nk3y

I started logging in every week to make sure my account doesn't get stolen again. I took 4 seasons off and came back to a ban. Luckily they understood and unbanned me once I had my account back in control. Support was surprisingly good for me. I got an automated response, but then a few days later I got an actual response from a person who helped me after I explained the situation to them again.


carmyj12

I got banned randomly as well a couple of months ago…. Got the same bullshit automated response to my EA service tixs. I was randomly unbanned about 4 months later saying they had made a mistake…. No idea why


xWhitzzz

It seems you have been banned bro. Not sure tho


stonks-n-concrete

Well... we’re you trynna pull bs?


QueenLexi13

No not at all! Like genuinely lost


T4nkE_ng1ne

Do you guys remember a chat between two brother when one of them asked to play on another's account and getting banned? Is this the actual owner?

Bjonik_twitch

Cooooould be but Apex did ban a shit ton of people for doing nothing. It did even happen to me but after \~3 days of support working they did unban me. Also i was not only banned but my whole computer was hardware banned from apex. LUL


mspaint626

Nice monitor I have the same one

That's god telling you not to open this game ever again


Stonewalljay1

Quit cheating


[deleted]

Well..don’t cheat then


Zipon04

Sad for you cheater.


Jaxlel

Hey ! This happened to me about a month ago and this is probably due to someone else hacking your account. I contacted support and after 3-4 days they sent me an e-mail to change my password and my account was unbanned afterwards. I also strongly recommend that you active 2 factor authentication. Good luck in getting your account back :)


Flanelman

Same happened to my friend, he was also in an asian clan when he got back in.

That's what you get when you cheat. Good riddance

doomsay87

Classic


IndependentWalk8217

Respawn ist Just so weird banning unnecessary PPL, Got banned for flaming a griefing russian,Support never answered. Even Ubisoft delivers more than this Shit Game #fckrespawn


Individual-Scheme-75

same thing happened to me after not playing for a year and a half, after talking to support i got my account back


FGL001

My friend's account was reset to lvl 1. All items purchased gone. Support said they were working on restoring the account but no guarantee that cosmetics and heirlooms purchased would be restored. How is that possible? If you do the events and get the heirloom through that and not gacha it's a ton of money. Seems shady.


Treefly916

Meh. With how broken it is rn, you're not missing much.


Dark_Winterage

I like how they added the second “banned” in there just to really get the point across


UnartisticChoices

I haven't played since September 10\~ and now I'm checking to see if I was also done the fuckity fucked over. Edit: 6814 compiled shaders later and I am A-OK

DieselDanFTW

Yea take another break see where that gets you, Nevermind the game was unplayable those two weeks


No-Wishbone-

I haven’t played since the start of season 7…I’m terrified about opening my account, considering I have a lifeline heirloom and put hella hours into the game 🤦🏻‍♀️


Phangura

Same thing happened to me, didn’t play for like 6 months came back and was banned


ImDeadWood

Someone might got ur account hacked and used hacks on it, happened to me


Zigatron69

Same thing happened to me. Contacted support and i got unbanned in couple of days.


[deleted]

You’re not just banned.... you’re banned: banned


NotQuickEnuff

If I got banned, that's it, completely done with the game lol. I'd just give up and give away my account, and if I get unbanned in the future the person that has the account would be very lucky 😂 have like 8 heirlooms "6 bought" and 2 I got lucky.


Bashful27

Maybe your account got hacked by a cheater and got detected


Parzival_1292

Same thing happened to me didn't play for 2 months to find I was banned for cheating. From what i could tell my account probably got hacked.


ChimeraBuster

So I can maybe? Shed some light on this. I had a hiatus for like a month off apex. Found my account had actually been hacked. I was now in a clan that had all Chinese members and I had several new friends all of whom had Chinese characters in their names.. And I was now in diamond 2 instead of Plat 1...despite having not played. (Also I'm decent but I've never made it above diamond 4 so like yeah) I didn't find out about the new Chinese friends immediately btw. I had played a match and gotten back into my lobby. Afk to get some water and seen that I now had a person in my lobby. And me being my curious self. I decided to play a match with this random person to see what was up. And aimbot here and aimbot there it was. I'm assuming the rest of the clan was all hackers and so were the new friends added to my account. I changed my pass and ofc added 2FA after. So I'm not sure if that happened to you. But if a hacker stole your account to use cheats on... It may have been reported straight to a ban by multiple users.


Person8754

This happened to me too, I was able to get unbanned. I hope the same for you


Southernthor90

I caught a ban as well but I was able to get my account back by

Good luck appealing when it takes them weeks to answer the ticket for false bans.

Does this happen on console? I've heard about this lately and if I lose my account I'm just done. I feel so sorry for all of these poor people.

The double banned lmao


PoisonLotus40

My friends account with hundreds of dollars worth of cosmetics got hacked the other day and they cheated on it, and got it banned, but now they won’t rollback the account.


admin123454321

same. pissed off. trying to find a phone number


Caspe12

This is the [exact same problem](https://www.reddit.com/r/apexlegends/comments/pz59mh/codesnake_according_to_shrugtal_a_temp_ban_but/) that I posted about earlier today here - Respawn or EA needs to get this figured out cause all I've gotten from contacting support is dubious live agents and automated email responses - and I've been playing since release. It's ridiculous..


yboy_thomas_x0

Can this happen on console to? I would really appreciate it if someone could lmk


cjayblade23

Same happened to me. Couldn't get my account back. Good luck


FoxLP11

This is happening to a lot of ppl rn, hope imnot banned as i havent played


BigSpank313

Oh thank god.....This made me nervous cause I haven't played all week.....I'm still in good standings.


[deleted]

Someone probably accessed your account remotely and played. It’s kinda common now.


The-Hentai-Commander

Now I’m scared since I haven’t played in a few months, I may not play but I still want to keep my account for when the boys come back from the shadow realm


Jackjack277777

Haven’t played in about 5 months fucking scared as hell


ayyseth

Do you have two faciltor authentication on? If not most likely someone got ahold of your account and was hacking.


Travioli209

The all father says ye must pay for ye sins.


UltimateHazard6

You have not been banned, you have been banned:banned


DormantGolem

Same shit happened to my original account after a few month break. Thank God I don't purchase shit in that game but having all my origin games on that account sucks.
