Apex Legends Anti-Cheat: Priorities, total account bans, and more

The official blog post for Apex Legends Anti-Cheat covers a wide range of items that fall under the umbrella of removing cheaters from the game. However, the current priority for the anti-cheat software lies in rooting out the following:

Teaming: The devs indicated that new tools have significantly helped to reduce the number of cases for Teaming. The estimated drop in report rates was revealed to be around 33%. This system will likely stay in effect to create a fair and enjoyable gameplay experience.
Third-party Bots: New gameplay indicators are supposedly being used to detect cheaters spawning bots within a match to progress faster. Devs also highlighted that a new Bot Detection model is being developed to ensure future detection of any such activities.
Aimbots and Anti Recoil: Aimbots and Anti Recoil are two of the biggest problems in almost every online multiplayer shooter title. This is also one of the highest priority parts of the detection team, and the devs are likely in the process of developing newer models to detect such cheats.
