Apex Legends Gets Shafted by Some Script Kiddie with a God Complex
Well, grab your tinfoil helmets and crank up the rage juice, because some little digital goblin decided to hijack Apex Legends matches—yep, actual f***ing live matches—just to prove he could. Players suddenly found themselves watching their characters being puppeteered like some cursed marionette show from hell. Imagine trying to take down an enemy and your damn character starts spinning like a washing machine on meth. Pure f***ing joy, right?
So, this hacker dipshit apparently exploited a vulnerability to literally take over other players’ characters in real time. We’re talking god-mode-level trolling here—aiming, shooting, and moving other people’s avatars as if he owned the damn game. Respawn (you know, the folks who actually made the f***ing thing) confirmed the chaos and said they’re “investigating.” Translation: they’re frantically trying to duct-tape the servers back together while chugging coffee and praying to whatever silicon spirit keeps their backend alive.
What’s worse? It wasn’t some high-end corporate spy from Hackistan. Nope. Just another self-absorbed tryhard showing off their “leet” skills by ruining everyone else’s fun. Because why contribute anything useful to society when you can spend your precious existence making life miserable for gamers who just want to shoot digital enemies without being possessed by a cyber-demon?
To add a cherry on this flaming cake of nonsense, players couldn’t even leave matches mid-hack. They were just trapped, watching their own avatars dance like possessed crash test dummies while the stupid hacker enjoyed his little power trip. Respawn’s now scrambling to figure out what the hell went wrong and plugging every hole like a plumber on a caffeine bender. Good luck with that, folks.
Moral of the story? Don’t trust online games to keep your digital ass safe. One day you’re headshotting with style, and the next, you’re watching your character teabag a wall while some greasy basement overlord giggles behind a screen covered in Mountain Dew stains.
Reminds me of the time I “accidentally” locked the boss out of his email for a week after he asked me to stop calling him “User Error.” Funny how quickly people understand basic IT when their Twitch notifications stop working.
