Yesterday, Epic Games announced that Fortnite would be changing how it deals with cheating with an update to the ban times for those who are caught cheating.

The new changes affect both regular play and tournaments. In regular play (no matter the game mode), those hit with their first cheating offense will only be banned for one year.

During this ban, they can log into Fortnite and chat with friends. However, they won’t be able to enter matchmaking in any of the game modes, whether it’s created by Epic or other creators.

If the player uses cheats again after their one-year ban, then they’ll be hit with a lifetime ban.

This new ban policy will hit the game in April. At this time, first-time cheaters who have already been banned for a year will be able to play again.

When it comes to tournaments, these bans are a little harder. Those who use cheats in tournaments will immediately get a lifetime ban in tournaments. If they used cheats and won a tournament, then they’ll also lose those earnings.

Additionally, FNCS tournament events that require players to have an Account Level of 350 or higher have new security requirements. TPM and Secure Boot, two free Windows security features, will be required in order to play in these tournaments.

Of course, there’s also the threat of legal repercussions for cheaters, too. Epic has filed multiple lawsuits against cheaters, which it breaks down here in the Fortnite cheating update post.

The players that this update affects do not include those who sell cheats. Players who sell cheats or steal and sell accounts are immediately hit with a lifetime ban.
