So my recruiter today so close to my ship date told me if I don’t pass the OPAC test my contract could get voided. I’ve met a lot of people in the military in all branches and they don’t even know what he was saying. I’ve heard recruiters just be saying stuff to scare you, but can my contract really get canceled 30 days before shipping?

Do you mean the OPAT? Occupational Physical Aptitude Test. That's a four event test that is newish to ensure you can physically handle Basic Training and your MOS.
You have an abundance of conspiracy theories from many of your previous posts. I recommend you stop listening to the barracks Lawyers and just focus on getting shipped.
If you get told something by the recruiter, and you don't understand, DO NOT leave until you understand. It's your contract and your career. Grab hold of it.

Johnathon Greer yes, you absolutely do. Those are the absolute bare minimum physical requirements for entering into the MOs you picked

Johnathon Greer - young man, I retired in 2016. I don't know. I know who does though...you may want to have that conversation with him. Your recruiter doesn't get a free set of steak knives or a free desert at the mess hall if he messes with you before you ship. He has every incentive in the world to ship a qualified recruit.
Go ask. Write it down. If there is an acronym or term you don't understand, get immediate clarification.

The OPAT is a test of basic physical strength and agility. If you are in decent shape you shouldn't be overly apprehensive.

The OPAT is a basic physical fitness test necessary as a prerequisite for certain jobs.
It's basically just like the fitness gram Pacer test from high school if they still do it, with just an added jump and power throw. It's real easy, I scored heavy (the highest) and the most weight you'll have to lift is a 160 pound hex bar deadlift once.
You'll pass the OPAT, and you'll ship. Don't be scared, it's just one of those check marks you need to do before you leave.
