Apex Legends cheat setup, requirements and fixes

The Apex Legends build runs on Easy Anti-Cheat for both the EA App and Steam versions. This hub covers what your PC needs, the setup that matters for Apex, what happens at each season launch and the fixes for common problems.

The Apex Legends build

On this page 7 sections

Apex Legends cheat requirements

What your PC and your copy of Apex Legends need before the first launch. The first list applies to every build we make; the second is specific to Apex Legends.

Every build

A Windows 10 or 11 PC. There is no macOS, Linux or console version of any build. Getting started
A Discord account. Setup runs through the Discord, and Barry answers there around the clock.
The game installed through a supported launcher and fully updated before you load in.
Borderless or windowed display mode. Exclusive fullscreen is not supported and is the usual reason an overlay flickers or vanishes. Overlay settings
No boot-time anti-cheat from another game installed, such as Riot Vanguard, FACEIT or ESEA. They can stop the loader from opening. Loader will not open
No HTTPS interception software (Fiddler, mitmproxy) or its certificates on the PC. The anti-leak system flags them. Remove Fiddler certificates

For Apex Legends

Status: Out of stock Live
Anti-cheat: EAC
Launchers: EA App & Steam
Build: Internal (runs inside the game)
Menu: 32 options in 4 groups
Platform: Windows 10 and 11 PC

Apex Legends on the EA App or Steam. Both PC versions are supported.
No DMA hardware. The Apex build is internal and software only, and a DMA setup would be no guarantee against EAC anyway.

How to set up the Apex Legends cheat

Setup is the same four steps on every title, and most people are in a match within a few minutes of paying.

1 Pay, then open the onboarding email that arrives the moment payment clears. Check spam if it is not in your inbox. Getting started
2 Join the Elocarry Discord. Your licence and Discord role are granted automatically.
3 Run the one command from the onboarding email in normal PowerShell as administrator (not the x86 version and not PowerShell 7). It launches the loader.
4 Follow the loader, start the game, then open the in-game menu with the hotkey the loader shows. Every feature is a toggle and your settings save to your account.

Before your first Apex Legends match

Save a weapon configuration for each gun you use. A Wingman can flick hard to the head while an R-99 tracks the chest with more smoothing, all on the same key.
Turn on Target Delay and Humanised Smoothing before your first ranked match, and bind a Second Aimbot Key to a tighter, slower profile for when a squad is spectating you.
Leave Focus Downed and Team Check set the way you want them, so the aim stays off knocked players and your own squad.

Apex Legends cheat not working?

Check live status first: after a Apex Legends update the build is paused until it is rebuilt, and that is the most common reason nothing loads. Then work through the fixes below.

The build is down after a season launch

Season launches are the biggest Apex patches. The build is rebuilt whenever Respawn or EAC patches, which means each season launch, mid-season update and hotfix. Check live status before you queue.

Why cheats stop working after updates

The aim feels wrong on one gun

Aim settings save per weapon. Check that you are editing the configuration for the gun in your hands rather than another one.

Fixes that work on every title

Nothing works after a game patch

Check live status first. Builds are paused while they are rebuilt after an update, and loading a paused build is the fastest way to waste a session or risk a ban. Live status
The loader will not open

Update Windows, uninstall boot-time anti-cheats (Vanguard, FACEIT, ESEA), run the command from normal PowerShell as administrator and make sure the Windows clock is synced. Loader will not open
The menu or ESP is not showing

Switch the game to borderless or windowed, turn off overlays that draw on top (the NVIDIA or AMD overlay, Discord clipping, Overwolf), keep the Discord overlay or RTSS set up as the setup guide says, then restart and re-inject. If the F5 debug console opens, the build is running and the problem is the overlay layer. ESP or overlay not showing
FPS drops, stutter or overlay crashes

Enable Hardware-Accelerated GPU Scheduling, install current NVIDIA or AMD drivers, cap FPS to your refresh rate and turn off replay and clipping tools. Overlay performance and crash fix
The loader will not authenticate

An out-of-sync clock is the usual cause. Turn on automatic time and time zone in Windows, then sync. Connection errors are often fixed by the DNS and IPv6 steps. Fix your system clock

Apex Legends anti-cheat

On PC, Apex Legends is protected by Easy Anti-Cheat on both the EA App and Steam. The build is polymorphic, changing signature on every launch, and it is rebuilt whenever Respawn or EAC patches.

The squad you eliminate can watch you play out the rest of the match, so the settings that matter most are the ones that change how your aim looks: smoothing, target delay and a sensible FOV.

What Is Easy Anti-Cheat (EAC)? How It Works

Apex Legends updates and the build

Apex patches in a steady rhythm: a season launch, a mid-season update and hotfixes in between. Each one triggers a rebuild, and whatever we add after a season update lands in the same build without a second purchase.

What each Apex Legends feature does

Each feature has its own page with the real options from the Apex Legends menu, captures from the live build and the settings players use. The full option-by-option list is on the Apex Legends page.
