Apex Legends hackers accused of complex plot to revive Titanfall Online

In an effort to raise awareness of the current issues surrounding Titanfall multiplayer, hackers briefly took over Apex Legends last month. Respawn Entertainment’s Titanfall games have been largely unplayable on PC for several months now due to constant distributed denial of service attacks, and it is now alleged that hackers seeking to raise awareness could in fact be the same people. responsible for the current Titanfall issues.

The hackers who managed to advertise the “SaveTitanfall.com” site on a playlist in the Apex Legends lobby have denied any involvement with the Titanfall hackers and have posted their own collection of evidence accusing several people of participate in a complicated ploy to gain access to the source code of Titanfall, as reported by Rock Paper Shotgun.

“Originally, SaveTitanfall.com was a partnership of different Titanfall communities coming together to draw attention to the state of the games and provide accurate information on issues,” the report said. “Unfortunately, they decided to put their personal goals – promoting their server and their personal Titanfall community project – above the good of the game and instead took advantage of the hard work of others when it suited them.”

The report claims that hacker p0358 was the root cause of most of the ongoing issues in Titanfall 1 and 2 so that Titanfall Online could be relaunched. Free-to-play spin-off initially in development by Nexon for Asian markets, this project was finally canceled in 2018.

P0358’s alleged plan centered around offering Titanfall fixes to Respawn in exchange for the game’s source code before a community investigation began to claim that P0358 and other partners were involved in the grand plan.

The accused hackers have so far denied the allegations and released their own statements to prove their innocence.

In summary, the story boils down to pirates constantly attacking both Titanfall games and posing as Eleventh Hour heroes, all in an effort to gain access to the game’s source code, with the plan eventually being uncovered by the gaming community. The hackers who launched their campaign on Apex Legends deny this, and both Titanfall games still suffer from DDOS attacks on PC.

While Respawn and publisher EA are aware of the current state of the games, this is an issue the developer has yet to resolve as the games only have a small team working on it.
