A player who participated in Fortnite tournaments has confessed to using cheating devices and was subsequently banned after earning $11,000. This information was nonchalantly shared on Twitter, along with a screenshot of their ban and a celebration of their illicit earnings.
Participating in Fortnite tournaments can be highly lucrative for talented players. Epic Games organizes various cash-prize competitions such as the Fortnite Champion Series (FNCS), Cash Cups, and Victory Cups. Whether an individual or playing as a duo, competitors have the opportunity to win up to $100 per match.
It can be highly profitable to successfully cheat, and a bold cheater recently confessed to their actions in the most nonchalant manner.
The player shared their ban notice on social media with the caption, “GGS!! It was a good run, at least I made 11,000. Time to work in the shadows.”It was later discovered that the cheater had used a specialized device to run the game on one computer while cheating on another.
Cheaters using hardware devices are now getting banned & there are people admitting they made a lot of money using them in Fortnite tourneys byu/imalonexc inFortNiteBR
“It’s crazy that they’re openly admitting it online. You’d assume they’d want to keep it private,”remarked a commenter.
Despite being the only one caught, this cheater was not the sole individual boasting about their actions. As evidenced by responses on Twitter and Reddit, other players have also faced consequences for utilizing comparable cheats, managing to profit substantially before facing repercussions.
According to a Redditor, Epic may be taking action to ban more cheaters, but this issue has been ongoing for a significant period without much attention.
The cheater’s admission of guilt caused anger within the Fortnite community. A player expressed hope, stating, “I hope they face consequences. If Epic has solid evidence of their cheating and a history of winning tournaments, they should be stripped of their titles and fined accordingly.”
As the use of increasingly advanced cheats becomes more prevalent, the integrity of Fortnite’s competitive scene is being jeopardized. While Epic is attempting to take action, the existence of these cheats turns it into a constant game of cat-and-mouse. In the world of casual players, the highly sought-after Ultra Doom Mythic is causing fierce competition and conflict among players.
