Epic announced new moves to deal with cheating players in Fortnite, and some players will soon get a "second chance" that the original lifetime ban will be changed to a one-year limit, during which they will be able to use the game's other features except for voice and text chat.

Epic confirmed in a blog post yesterday that players who cheat for the first time will be slightly less penalties starting in April than before, and will be banned for a year and will only be banned for life only if they cheat for the second time."While maintaining fairness is our top priority, we also believe that players who make bad decisions and learn from them should be given a second chance," Epic explained.

Interestingly, any player who has been banned for one year can still retain a little bit of the game features, but I really can't imagine anyone trying to use them.The article reads: "During the first ban, players can log in to the game and chat with other players in text or voice, but they cannot participate in the game mode matching made by Epic or creators, nor can they watch other players' games." Therefore, cheaters obviously cannot play any game content, nor can they watch other people play games, but for some reason, they can use Fortnite as a chat room and chat with friends when they are banned.I don't understand why anyone would choose to do this, but, well, this option does exist.

For Fortnite competitive players, the anti-cheating rules are slightly different.Although the rules for cheating for one year and cheating for another for a lifetime still apply to the normal matching mode, if you cheat once in the game, you will be banned from participating in the game for life and "cannot lose the prize money you have received in the game in the past."

As part of these changes, Epic announced that from April, a lifetime ban on cheaters who have been in effect for more than one year will be lifted, so these new rules do not only apply to new cheating.However, “for players who sell cheating procedures or have been banned for life for violations of other rules”, “there will not be any change.”

Last year, Epic said it would “increase legal prosecutions for cheaters and sellers of cheating procedures” and added in this week’s article: “Other consequences may include legal sanctions.”
