Apex Legends: Javelin prevented 265,550 cheat attempts in its first week

The Apex Legends anti-cheat team reported on EA Javelin Anticheat’s first week on October 8. According to the team, 265,550 cheat attempts were prevented and 12,969 accounts banned.

The report also lists 40 tracked cheat programs, with 91% disrupted. A prevented attempt is not a banned account or a unique player: unauthorized software can be stopped before affecting a match without a subsequent ban. These figures therefore cannot be added together as a count of people caught. The team continues investigating circulating footage of cheating and promises further updates. This report concerns PC, where Javelin operates; separate console-player updates are promised in the coming weeks. These are developer-reported figures for the stated period, not an independent assessment of every match.
