Apex Legends developer Respawn Entertainment has detailed some of the changes coming with the game’s next update, including new anti-piggybacking measures. In the context of team shooters like Apex Legends, piggybackers are players who don’t participate meaningfully in the game, collecting XP and rewards for their teammates’ hard work. According to Respawn, they’ll soon be handing out temporary bans for piggybacking behavior and may even issue permanent bans in “extreme cases.”

Unsurprisingly, the proposed rules are causing some controversy, as a lot of players end up piggybacking without really intending to. Personally, I’m not great at multiplayer shooters – I’ll admit, the couple times my team came out on top in Apex Legends, I didn’t rack up a lot of kills, although I tried to contribute by pinging stuff and reviving teammates. It seems like there should be a more nuanced solution here than just handing out bans.
