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.”

Definitely does not deserve a perm ban but it did make the company look really bad.. like just imagine one of your pro players of the game bringing in the right traffic showing himself off breaking the rules??? He deserves at least a year

CTV I've never seen someone this sentimental for a kids game. It's like he treats this situation as if it's the end of the world and there is no content in the world to cover. What a baby. There's more games out there in the world.


Well considering fortnite was basically his job and source of income. I do expect him to react like that. Either way he knew what he was doing was wrong.

What a little bitch. This is the typical of kids his age. Never works a hard day in his life, then bitches and moans when he doesn't get his way after being caught cheating lol.

Borderlands69 Don't cry you little bitch you cheated there for you should get banned lol and crying over a video game really


If I was making ,even a normal salary, off of playing video games alone, I would cry if I lost it too lmao


Facts boul gonna have to get into a warehouse now


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


He gotta be mad dumb not to research cheats.

He has the money and time, he should've just cheated on a different PC or not at all. Fortnite HWID bans, which if one account on that pc gets banned, all the others do too on that same pc

jeremiahssj3 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.

As far as im aware those 2 players were colluding, not specifically using cheats. This moron used cheats. 2 entirely different situations. Epic better not back down. I don't play the game but this guy, using cheats while having 2 million subs is definitely setting an example that other smaller youtubers could follow. use cheats to get views, even if you aren't being serious.
