Benjyfishy raises concerns after Fortnite pros prove teammate is hacking Epic Games\/NRGPopular pro player Benjamin \u2018benjyfishy\u2019 Fish has raised questions over competitive integrity, after a professional Fortnite duo revealed that their teammate had been cheating undetected in recent tournaments. As far as the world\u2019s most popular battle royales go \u2013 Apex Legends, Warzone and Fortnite \u2013 all of them have experienced their fair share of hacking issues. Fortnite has, many would argue, the most successful record, regularly preventing hacking and boosting from impacting the average online match. However, recent revelations in the pro community have cast doubt on this, as it becomes clear that one player has been cheating in official tournaments \u2013 and managed to remain undetected. On July 31, Team Serenity player Zykoma tweeted to confirm that one of his teammates has indeed been found to be hacking, and had done so in past tournaments. \u201cSo yesterday, Bucktee (part of my trio) found that our third member, bman, was secretly using hacks without our knowledge,\u201d he said. \u201cDuring Daily Trio Cups and the Bugha cup. I\u2019m posting this to show how easily these hacks are accessible and can go multiple tournaments undetected.\u201d Attached was a clip of bman\u2019s gameplay, which appears to show that the individual was indeed using cheats to further his performance.

Bman is literally about to play in the Bugha Cup Finals because of hacks, and no one would have known.\u201d He followed this tweet up with a Discord screenshot, which appears to show bman admitting the offences, referring to his actions as a \u201cmistake\u201d. I fucking hate this situation, and I hate the fact that I have to do this. \u2026 but I can\u2019t sit back and watch this happen@bmanFN is literally about to play in the Bugha Cup Finals because of hacks, and no one would have known. pic.twitter.com\/iPs43C1I0X \u2014 SRN Zykoma (@ZykomaTV) July 31, 2020 The tweets quickly garnered significant attention, as portions of the Fortnite community condemned bman\u2019s actions and called for Epic to do more. Among these players was Benjyfishy, NRG Fortnite pro and prominent Twitch streamer. He said: \u201cI guess this means there probably is some pros cheating without anyone knowing.\u201d i guess this means there probably is some pros cheating without anyone knowing https:\/\/t.co\/UiDGuvnDsm \u2014 benjyfishy (@benjyfishy) July 31, 2020 While some suggested Benjy is assuming the worst case scenario, the very fact that bman was able to compete in tournaments with hundreds of thousands of viewers and remain undetected means that there could well be others using similar exploits. Epic Games are yet to comment publicly on the accusations but have been known to hand out temporary suspensions for similar offences.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
