Fortnite hackers panic as Epic Games cracks down with new anti-cheat Epic GamesFortnite hackers are having a hard time in the battle royale after Epic Games\u2019 implementation of Byfron, a new anti-cheat to thwart cheaters from ruining games. Epic have been dealing with a constant stream of hackers for years that spans everything from aim-botters to invincibility cheats. These problems have been so ingrained into Fortnite that even pro players raised concerns about cheaters infiltrating the competitive scene. Though the issue has been a long-winded saga for Epic, it seems like the latest chapter of the struggle has cheaters reeling from the new anti-cheat. On July 6, screenshots show apparent hackers frustrated at the new Fortnite anti-cheat that\u2019s preventing them from accessing the game entirely. \u201cFN will be down for a while. Fortnite after three years has decided to add shit that will make it hard to cheat,\u201d one hacker said in a Discord server. \u201cThey have greatly protected things that we need to make a cheat. \u201cBefore this update nothing was protected, now everything is. We will be up soon, hopefully, but f**k you Fortnite.\u201d For the time being, it looks like hackers will try a workaround for the new ant-cheat from the company Byfron but it\u2019s not looking like they\u2019re having much success.
