Battle of hackers. The battle royale Apex Legends was hacked to save Titanfall from DDoS attacks

Fans of the sci-fi shooter are suffering from hacker attacks and have decided to draw attention to the problem in a radical way.

DDoS attacks on Titanfall have been ongoing since 2019. The game’s community has been asking Respawn to resolve this issue for over three years, but to no avail. In April this year, the developers promised to address the attacks “as soon as possible”.

It is worth noting that players of the free-to-play battle royale Apex Legends had suffered from hackers before as well. Cheaters ruined the gaming experience for others in order to quickly climb up the ranked leaderboard.

However, the new attack has surpassed anything encountered previously. And its goal is different — a noble one.

To save the shooter Titanfall, the Apex Legends player base is suffering. Now, when attempting to enter the game, players are greeted with the message:
