If you have been banned from Apex Legends, you can download your EA account data to check how many times you were reported and the reasons for those reports. This guide will walk you through retrieving and analysing your data.
Why Check Your Reports?
EA’s system logs player reports against your account when a ban occurs. By reviewing your EA data, you can see:
- Total Reports received before the ban.
- Reasons for Reports (e.g., AIMSNAP, WEIRDMOVING, AMMOORRECOIL).
- Ban History (date and type of ban).
- Anti-Cheat Sessions (detection timestamps).
Step-by-Step Guide to Checking Your EA Data
1. Request Your EA Data
EA allows you to download your game activity logs, including player reports. Follow these steps:
Go to EA’s Data Access Page:
Access Your EA Account Data
- Click on Request a Data Archive and log in to your EA account.
- Submit a request for Apex Legends Data.
- Wait for an email from EA (this may take a few hours).
2. Download & Open Your EA Data File
Once EA sends your data, download the ZIP file.
Extract the files and look for a folder named “Game Data” or “Apex Legends PC”.
Inside, you will find:
- Ban History – Lists the exact ban date and type.
- Anti-Cheat Sessions – Shows the times EA’s system flagged your activity.
- Report Data – Contains player reports against you.
3. Check How Many Times You Were Reported
Look for a file inside Game Data that contains report logs. You may find report reasons formatted as:
#REPORT_PLAYER_REASON_AIMSNAP
#REPORT_PLAYER_REASON_SMURFING
#REPORT_PLAYER_REASON_WEIRDMOVING
#REPORT_PLAYER_REASON_AMMOORRECOIL
#REPORT_PLAYER_REASON_SABOTAGE
#REPORT_PLAYER_REASON_EXPLOIT
These tags indicate why other players reported you before your ban.
What to Do Next?
- If your reports were extremely high, it is likely that your ban was influenced by player complaints.
- If you see anti-cheat logs detecting you, this means the system flagged your activity before your ban.
Reviewing this data can help you understand whether mass reports, detections, or a combination of both led to your account ban.
