Fortnite players call out Epic Games for allowing cheaters during tournament FortniteFortnite players are slamming Epic Games for \u201cnot doing their job\u201d when it comes to cracking down on cheaters after a YouTube streamer participated in a Chapter 5 tournament while using blatant cheats. Epic has faced criticism for its past mishandling of cheaters, particularly when it comes to third-party exploits and allowing players to achieve unrealistically high levels through experience cheats. The latest incident involves a YouTuber and streamer caught using cheats during a tournament. This has sparked outrage within the community, once again blaming Epic for failing to effectively address Fortnite cheating issues. \u201cReally feels like Epic isn\u2019t doing their job anymore taking care of cheaters, they could threaten legal action against all of the people posting the hacks and cheats and shit on YouTube and TikTok yet they all allow that kind of content to stay up,\u201d pointed out one commenter. A video of the cheating Fortnite streamer was posted to Reddit as a compilation of the multiple kills that they got during the tournament from their point of view. The video clearly shows a large white circle around the player\u2019s crosshair, which was identified as an aim bot add-on by commenters. In addition to hitting all of their shots, the fact that all of the enemies had their in-game names displayed above their heads was a red flag, as Fortnite does not offer that information without cheats. \u201cHate to say it, but for everyone, you do find on YouTube, there are 10-20 more you don\u2019t see. It\u2019s a shame Epic doesn\u2019t have people who look for this stuff and ban them,\u201d said another commenter. The video shared by the Reddit poster had to be edited because it advertised the cheater\u2019s Discord, which promotes a type of cheat known as \u201csoft aiming\u201d that enables unnaturally precise aim. Despite the public display of these cheats during the Fortnite tournament matches, it seems like the cheater remains at large.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
