Cheating is a problem that continues to plague Fortnite. In the casual game, you\u2019ll run into your fair share of hackers beaming you from across the map with inhuman aim. On the pro side of things, it\u2019s not as common. While it\u2019s usually teaming that gets players in trouble, sometimes Epic\u2019s anti-cheat lets proper aimbotters and wall-hackers slip through the cracks. However, one player made a statement by exploiting the system to grind their way to the top. NA-West player Kona turned on the cheats for the final FNCS Solos qualifier, and made it count. Kona made their cheating as blatant as possible. They used an aimbot, which caught the eyes of streamers wondering who the new hotshot was. However, more egregious than that, they streamed themselves doing so on Twitch. They had the cheat client open throughout the qualifiers, showing off how they did it. Kona didn\u2019t deny it when pressed, even stating in their stream title they were \u201csacrificing account to show how bad the anti-cheat is.\u201d Kona did end up placing high enough to make the FNCS qualifier finals and have a chance of making the heats, however has since been disqualified. They have been banned from Fortnite as well, although it\u2019s unclear how long the suspension is for. Kona claims that they cheated to prove how terrible Fortnite\u2019s Easy Anti-Cheat is. \u201cFor real though, the anti-cheat in this game is so terrible to the point where someone can get to finals. I hope people learn from this,\u201d they tweeted. https:\/\/twitter.com\/KonaG_\/status\/1292632557335351296 They did make a Twitlonger just before that though, where they made a remark about how \u201cnew players can never do good.\u201d It appears that the statement was made tongue-in-cheek though. \u201cIt\u2019s so stupid how new players can never do good,\u201d Kona said in the earlier Twitlonger. \u201cI pop off one tourney because I realize I\u2019m sh*t with charge [shotgun] and I get accused. Epic Games will clear it up, don\u2019t worry.\u201d Kona has been dropped by their organization, Deny, after the cheating accusations came to light. Regardless of the circumstances, Deny stated they \u201cdo not stand for cheating in any form.\u201d https:\/\/twitter.com\/KonaG_\/status\/1292628122089615361 \u201cDue to evidence brought to light by a great community, we have cut all ties with Kona. We were not told of any prior accusations before today. We do not stand for cheating in any form,\u201d Deny told fans on Twitter. Dexerto has reached out to Kona for comment, but they did not reply by time of publishing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
