More than 2000player accounts have been bannedRPin ranked matches this way.
A game vulnerability related to Respawn Beacons has recently surfaced in Apex Legends . This method allowed players to earn RP, or Ranked Points, in an easy way . To take advantage of this vulnerability , teams began to collaborate with each other. Teams that produced Respawn Beacons using the Replicator were constantly killing each other and respawning. In this way , it became possible to earn high amounts of points in a short time . As expected, the Apex Legends community drew attention to this event, causing the developers to say stop to players using the system. Respawn Entertainment, taking into account the word of the player baseemployee Connor Ford shared on Twitter that a total of 2051 players' accounts were suspended. He also explained that the reason for the punishment was the method we just mentioned. He did not spare his words to the players who used the method. Tell them, "Good game, play more honestly next time." said.

On top of the penalty given by the developers, Connor shared the information of how many players were banned on which platform. Of these account suspensions, 607 were on PC, 859 on PS4, 562 on Xbox One, and 22 on Nintendo Switch. In addition to the numbers, it was said that this penalty would be between 7-60 days, depending on the frequency of exploitation. No account has been subject to permanent suspension. It was stated that if it is done again, it will be of unlimited duration.
It may be interesting to observe the state of this situation in the coming days. It is gratifying that the developers of Apex Legends responded quickly. The game vulnerability is still usable. We are wondering together with the community whether others will try to do it on the thousands of banned players.
