Epic Games has announced fresh changes to its approach to dealing with cheaters in Fortnite, with some players soon to be given "second chances" that'll swap lifetime bans for one-year restrictions that'll make the game almost unusable, apart from its voice and text chat functionality.
In a blog post published yesterday, Epic confirms that as of April, first-time cheaters will get off slightly lighter than before, with one-year bans in place that'll only be extended to lifetime bans if they cheat a second time. "While maintaining game integrity is our top priority, we also believe in allowing second chances for players who made a bad decision and have learned from it," Epic explains.
