Epic Games is taking a stand against cheaters in Fortnite Battle Royale, and banning them from playing the game, which is nice.
In a blog on the official site, community dude Nathan Mooney said ‘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.’
The studio is apparently keeping its cards close to its chest in terms of how its going about this, but tools are being implemented to spot the cheats, and Epic has ‘no plans to stop!’
As well as the thousands that have been banned already, Epic is going to be introducing a progression system in the coming weeks that allows you to ‘earn stuff as you play,’ and 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!’
Mooney added that honest folks shouldn’t be shy about report dodgy players, and can do so through a contact form that you can attach screenshots or videos to.Â
