Epic Games' Decisive Move Against Fortnite Cheating: Players Misusing Kinetic Sword Exploit Banned

In a bid to ensure fair play, Epic Games takes action against Fortnite players who have misused an exploit related to the Kinetic Sword, leading to widespread bans.

Fortnite may no longer be the newest sensation in the gaming world, but it remains one of the most widely played video games, boasting a dedicated player base and a vibrant competitive scene.

This lively battleground, backed by the unwavering support of Epic Games, constantly thrives on fairness and balance. In line with this, Epic Games has been vigilant in dealing with in-game problems, recently taking action against the misuse of the kinetic sword due to an exploit leveraged by certain players.

According to reports from Kotaku, Epic Games has commenced banning all users who have taken advantage of this exploit, a move that serves justice to numerous players who suffered unfair defeats. Amidst the chaos, part of the game’s community was actively disseminating instructions on how to exploit the glitch.

An Expensive Trick: The Price of Unfair Advantage

The exploit in question, involving the kinetic sword, was actively shared within Fortnite’s competitive community. However, the trick was fairly intricate to execute, and it appeared to be only viable in the PC version of the game.

To demonstrate, a Fortnite leak account posted a tweet detailing step-by-step instructions on how to exploit the glitch, accompanied by a video of the exploit in action.

If you’re among those who utilized this exploit, either out of curiosity or in pursuit of an unfair advantage over other players, be warned: you may soon receive an email notification informing you of your ban from the game.

However, there’s a chance that the system might not have detected your exploit usage, meaning that despite its use, you may not face a ban.

This episode should serve as a cautionary tale to those considering dishonest tricks to gain an upper hand in the game.

While Epic Games endeavors to address this issue promptly, the competitive community eagerly awaits the return of the kinetic sword, a beloved feature of one of the best multiplayer games, Fortnite.
