Fortnite community baffled after new player gets bizzare instant ban Epic GamesFortnite players in the community have been left perplexed after one new player was instantly banned before they could even play a match. Fortnite bans are often a hot topic among the Battle Royale community, which has proved to be for various reasons. Streamers and players have often been banned for using offensive language, being speculated to cheat during their matches, and even for some completely unknown reasons. This was the case for one player\u2019s fiance who tried to play Fortnite on their new account for the first time, before getting instantly banned without even playing a match. Fortnite player gets instantly banned without even playing Fortnite player Steeltoelion posted on Reddit: \u201cFirst time my fiance has ever played on this account.\u201d It was paired with an image from the Fortnite menu with the message: \u201cYou are currently banned from Fortnite.\u201d They explained: \u201cSo this is the first time she\u2019s gotten on, didn\u2019t even get to play a game, didn\u2019t even get to the main screen. \u201cHow the hell can she be banned without even playing the game? And Epic said they \u201ccan\u2019t divulge information\u201d What the f**k do you mean you can\u2019t? \u201cAre they really just banning accounts before they\u2019re ever started and you\u2019re just sh*t out of luck? What the f**k kind of business practice is that? Do we just keep harassing them with emails until they give us information or unban the account ?\u201d Some Fortnite detectives tried to crack the bizarre case, as the majority thought it was down to \u201ca lot of people getting banned for using VPNs.\u201d However, the OP soon cleared this: \u201cNo we don\u2019t use a VPN for gaming. This is on the PS5.\u201d This led players to assume that something else was being used, such as a \u201cStrikepack\u201d or \u201cCronus Zen.\u201d Again, the OP strongly denied: \u201cNo we don\u2019t use any of that. People who use Cronus piss me off. We use the DualShock controllers, nothing aftermarket.\u201d Players then asked: \u201cWere you ever banned from another game through Epic Games? Maybe they banned your account from playing any of their games online.\u201d Once again, they replied: \u201cNo we don\u2019t play Epic games. I\u2019m mostly an Insurgency\/Hell Let Loose player anymore. Nothing even close to Epic.\u201d With them having further stated: \u201cIt\u2019s literally just Fortnite. Which we just downloaded the other night,\u201d the Fortnite community and OP have been left perplexed and Epic still bans their account.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
