Respawn to investigate top Apex Legends players caught teaming DUMMIEs. News by Emma Kent Contributor Updated on 14 May 2020 9 comments After hours of grinding, sliding and perfecting your hip-firing, you've finally made it to the upper echelons of Apex Legends' ranked mode... only to have six guns facing you instead of three. That's what happened to several players this week, as clips emerged on the r/apexlegends subreddit showing some shady behaviour from some of the game's best players. In the videos, top players such as Xynoa and Skittles (currently ranked 1st and 2nd on the Apex leaderboards) were seen allegedly teaming with enemy squads in order to ensure a strong finish in the ranked mode.

Enraged by the teaming, members of the Apex Legends community contacted Respawn developers over Twitter, and senior designer Chin Xiang Chong has now responded to say the developer will investigate (thanks, Dot Esports). "We see the articles and the claims and will take appropriate action after doing appropriate investigations," he said.

This isn't the first time Apex has encountered teaming issues, as the game's limited-time solo mode also made it easy to group up back in August last year.
