Fortnite: Epic Games is going all-in against cheaters! Legal actions, device bans, and tougher security measures—discover how Fortnite is cracking down on unfair play.
🚨 Cheating in Fortnite has never been more aggressively targeted! Epic Games is stepping up its efforts with legal actions, hardware bans, and a new strict banning policy. Find out how these changes will shape the future of competitive Fortnite! 🎯💪
Epic Games Takes Legal Action Against Cheaters
Epic Games is no longer playing around when it comes to rule-breakers. The company is now pursuing legal action against those who violate Fortnite’s terms, including:
- Lawsuits against account resellers who steal and sell hacked accounts.
- Severe punishments for players caught cheating in tournaments.
- Crackdowns on Cronus device manufacturers, which have enabled cheating in both Fortnite and Rocket League.
🔴 Cronus devices and any other cheating tools are now strictly banned.
🔴 Anyone caught using these will face immediate bans and potential legal consequences.
New Security Requirements for PC Players in Tournaments
To ensure fair competition, all PC players must now enable two critical security settings to participate in major events like the FNCS (Fortnite Champion Series).
🔍 What Are TPM and Secure Boot?
- TPM (Trusted Platform Module): A security chip that ensures key system settings are protected.
- Secure Boot: Prevents malicious software from running when starting the computer.
🎯 Cheaters often exploit startup vulnerabilities to inject cheats. With these measures in place, hacking Fortnite just got way more difficult!
Epic Games Gives Some Players a Second Chance
While Epic is getting tougher, it’s also offering a path to redemption:
- First-time cheaters: 1-year matchmaking ban.
- Repeat offenders: Permanent ban!
- Tournament cheaters: 1-year ban + lifetime tournament disqualification.
- Selling cheats: Lifetime ban, no exceptions.
⚡ Long-term bans exceeding one year will be lifted starting in April, allowing some previously banned players to return—but only if they play fair!
How Epic Games Is Strengthening Its Anti-Cheat Defenses
There’s no perfect solution against cheaters, but Epic is stepping up its game with:
- Easy Anti-Cheat, monitoring matches in real-time.
- AI-powered algorithms to detect suspicious behavior.
- Constant game code improvements to close loopholes before they’re exploited.
✅ Anyone caught cheating will be permanently banned—no exceptions!
