Apex Legends Swaps to EA Javelin Anti-Cheat on September 29
Respawn confirmed on September 24 that Apex Legends switches its PC anti-cheat to EA Javelin, EA's in-house system, on September 29. EA says Javelin gives its team faster visibility into emerging cheats and more flexibility to build detections as hacks change. Respawn also flagged continued work on console cheat detection, including server-side models that watch for controller-based aim tools. The change hits every PC player the moment they patch.
