Epic permanently bans a FaZe Clan Fortnite player for using aimbot

3.7
It probably won’t surprise you to hear that using cheat mods including aimbots in Fortnite is against the rules, and that Epic will ban you for it. (And if you’re making Fortnite cheats, you might get sued, too.) It apparently did come as a bit of a surprise to Faze player Jarvis Kaye, who’s been banned for life after using an aimbot on an alt account for a YouTube video.

“I’ve actually been banned on Fortnite for life,” Jarvis says in an apology video. “Recently, I’ve posted some videos of me using aimbot in solos and playground mode. All I was thinking about while I was making those videos was just how entertaining and interesting these videos would be for you guys to watch. It didn’t even cross my mind that I could be banned for life on Fortnite.”

While the fact that Faze Jarvis was banned from Fortnite isn’t exactly a surprise here, a number of players are saying that the lifetime ban is too harsh, especially after XXiF and Ronaldo – who used cheats during the qualifying rounds of an actual, for-money tournament – were banned for only two weeks. (Certainly, don’t cheat in multiplayer games, regardless.)

“We have a zero tolerance policy for the usage of cheat software,” Epic tells Polygon. “When people use aimbots or other cheat technologies to gain an unfair advantage, they ruin games for people who are playing fairly.”

This is incredibly harsh. @Arkani XXif Used cheats and he was only banned for 2 weeks like the article says. What makes it even worse is that he wasn't using the cheats for his own gain. Imagine you being banned on your favorite gave and not even being able to start a new save, Imagine having to pay up to $1000-22k, to pay for a brand new console.

Jarvis deserves it, you cheat you pay the consequences even if it's for "entertainment" purposes.

Yeah well he shouldn't have cheated then, his own fault, take the punishment. You live and learn

If Epic removes the ban they are shooting them self in their own feet. They need to send a clear message to everyone who are playing the game that any form of cheating is unacceptable. They will lose their trustability and people are more likely to use the cheats themselves.

He was indirectly advertising the usage of cheats in an online competitive game, perm ban all day. Also stop crying lmao, you're a grown man.

i read that fortnite is whats keeping him from killing himself(aka hes just a teenaged baby) because its his life, plus this just proves my facts on faze being losers and cheating, the kid is 17yo ninja wants him unbanned(epic sucks his d so they will do what he says) and faze banks as well wants him unbanned, i for one am finally team epic on this issue kid deserves the perma ban and the kid deserves to be sued oh wait is epic not doing that to the 17 yo moron but they done it to like what a 10yo? but yeah this whole thing will blow over when he makes a new account and cheats again, faze wont ever learn, kid doesnt understand how to make a new account so hes b*tching about a ban that can be avoided by playing fair and not making a new account for cheating.

and watching cheating videos isnt even fun to watch
