Cheating in Fortnite Battle Royale seems to be a problem. At least, that's what I hear from people on the Internet. Specifically, that's what Epic Games is telling us since it's not like I go around talking to people about Fortnite Battle Royale.But yeah, cheaters! They suck. Epic knows this. Fortnite community person, Nathan Mooney, explains what's going to happen with Fortnite Battle Royale anti-cheat.
Let’s be straight for a second, nobody likes playing with cheaters. Not you, not me. Nobody.
We play PvP games like Fortnite Battle Royale for their competitive integrity. That feeling of outshooting somebody in an intense standoff and snagging that Victory Royale! And then there are cheaters, the 360-spin instant headshot, we all know so well.
But what is Epic doing about it?
To start, addressing cheaters in Fortnite is the highest priority across Epic Games. We are constantly working against both the cheaters themselves and the cheat providers. And it’s ongoing, we’re exploring every measure to ensure these cheaters are removed and stay removed from Fortnite Battle Royale and the Epic ecosystem. We don’t want to give too many clues about what we’re doing, but we are rolling out tools and will continue to do so. Thousands have been banned and we have no plans to stop!
Account Progression
In the next several weeks we’ll also roll out progression. Account progression means that you will earn stuff as you play. And it’s not just for fun - it will also help in the war against casual Cheaters and will give them less incentive to simply cheat their progression with a ban around the corner! For those persistent trolls, we’ll be continuing to work on solutions.
If you see something don’t stay silent, please keep reporting this behavior and include any video/screenshots you have!
