How detections work

Actions, evidence, exemptions and what to do about false positives.

Apex combines many independent checks, both inside the game and on your server. A single bypass doesn't get a cheater through: the same cheat is usually caught by several detections at once.

Actions#

Every detection uses the action you choose in Detection settings: Warn, Kick or Ban. Some detections confirm a hit before they act, to keep false positives away.

Evidence#

Every warn, kick and ban comes with a screenshot. Bans also include a short video of the player's screen. Everything appears in Punishments and your Discord logs.

Automatic clean-up#

When someone spawns forbidden vehicles, peds or objects, Apex removes them automatically.

Loading and respawning#

Apex waits until a player has fully loaded into the server before it starts checking them, so loading screens, character menus and respawns don't cause false positives.

Exemptions#

A detection is ignored when:

• a staff member uses the matching Apex panel tool (noclip, godmode, spectate…),
• one of your scripts called allow for that action,
• the player is on the Anticheat whitelist (or Whitelist Tx is on for txAdmin admins).

False positive?#

1. Check the evidence in Punishments.
2. If one of your scripts causes it, use allow / apexAllowSpawn in that script, or set the detection to Warn.
3. Unban the player and open a ticket in our Discord with the Ban ID so we can improve the detection.
