Ever been on a Fortnite gaming marathon enjoying a duel, building castles and whatnot and then BOOM! You’re out of the game, eliminated by some ‘illusionist’ who saw your shield level before you did? That’s cheating, folks. But it gets even worse, the gaming world has lately been buzzing with an intriguing controversy; can people be banned for streaming these notorious cheats on TikTok?
Summary
- Users discuss potential methods of reporting cheaters, suggesting it can be done through Epic Support after catching them in the act.
- There is a general complaint about the enforcement or lack thereof by TikTok and game authorities towards cheat streams.
- Speculations are raised about the use of pre-recorded streams for scamming purposes.
- Amidst this debacle, players maintain a humorous yet concerned tone with the never-ending ‘cheat epidemic’.
The Hunt for Cheaters
A well-fitted name, Due-Swordfish-7952, suggests a most vigilant approach towards catching these TikTok tricksters. His method of copying the culprit’s name from the kill feed after the dirty-work is done, for a report through Epic Support, shows how Fortnite knights are fighting back. Another cautionary tale is shared by LeafChief09, who warns of pre-recorded streams, potentially used for scams, adding another layer of guile to the cheater’s strategy game.
The Frustration Factor
With the rise in cheats, frustration soars amongst honest gamers. A user with the username sentinelPRO humorously airs this sentiment expressing the irony; TikTok apparently finds surprisingly no issue with cheat streams but have a problem when someone’s physical appearance gets targeted. Similarly, Super_Oil_1547 critiqued the bizarre trends of fandom, criticizing those who cheer for cheaters as ‘goofy’
The Pattern of Pre-recorded Streams
Beyond the usage of cheats, the question was posed by Wbruce521 on how to determine if a gameplay stream is pre-recorded. This concern, echoes in the gaming community as it not only makes cheating easier through clever editing tricks but also, as previously mentioned, paves the way for potential scams, tarnishing Fortnite and TikTok’s reputation.
While the journey is rough and the combat against cheaters ongoing, the humour and camaraderie amongst Fortnite warriors keep the spirits high. However, policing the gaming world is no easy task; it’s a wild west out there. With every level crossed and every enemy downed, the Fortnite community proves time and time again they won’t back down, not even to the most mischievous cheating illusionists! Game on, folks!
