class=\"spgn__article__key-points__list__item\">\n\t\t<span>The update includes the latest news about the game\u2019s anti-cheat and teaming detection<\/span>\n\t<\/li>\n\n\n\t<li class=\"spgn__article__key-points__list__item\">\n\t\t<span>According to the developers, they\u2019ve already blocked around 1,200 players for teaming.<\/span>\n\t<\/li>\t\t<\/ol>\n\t<\/div>\t<\/div>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"spgn__article__content horizontal-wrapper vertical-wrapper narrow\">\n\t\t<div class=\"spgn__article__content__main spgn__content\">\n\t\t<p>In a <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/PlayApex\/status\/1887170513413247024\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">developer update<\/a> released on February 6, the developers of Apex Legends talk about the various changes that will be implemented for the game\u2019s 24th Season which include changes to anti-cheat and matchmaking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the developers, Season 24 will see the dawn of a new bot detection software. Apparently, they have created a machine-learning model specifically to detect bots and to combat \u201cfuture variants and evolutions\u201d of botting software. Testing of this model has led to very low false negatives, allegedly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Teaming is also another point that was highlighted in the blog post. The developers mentioned that they banned around 1,200 accounts that were detected to be used for teaming and also removed around 17.4 million ranked points that were gained using this method.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Teaming involves two different squads working together for a common goal. Teaming is often synonymous with boosting as the other squad usually contains a player that wants to gain ranked points quickly and artificially.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In December of 2024, Respawn Entertainment <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Respawn\/status\/1865148176275247312\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">released an update<\/a> regarding their decision to block Linux access to the game and there was a 33% drop in cheaters in the game. However, it\u2019s not just the blocking of Linux access that worked wonders, the update also said that the developers also launched \u201cadditional defensive measures\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Apex Legends is a battle royale game developed by Respawn and published by EA. The game rakes in more than 100,000 players on Steam alone. The game is also available on consoles and on EA\u2019s Origin launcher which is not counted on the Steam player count.<\/p>\t\t<div class=\"spgn__social_share\"
