Fortnight chapter 2 season 1 is upon us my friends a brand new map and a ton of
new things to do on that map
But we need to go over some stuff to make sure that you are safe on that map. What is up?
Everybody chaos here. Welcome to the video
We're gonna go over 10 ways that you can actually get banned on the new map
You know, there are going to be plenty of exploits on this map just like there was with chapter ones map
So hopefully this helps you out and keeps you from getting if your epic account
Banned and we're going to kick things off with of course map glitches
Like I said, there are going to be tons of exploits in the new fortnight
Chapter to map and the season hasn't been out very long
But I promise you they are everywhere epic has a history for banning people that abuse
Map glitches keep in mind if they're not banning people for the negative glitches like the ones that kill you or when you fall through
A floor, but if you're using the glitch to get an advantage over another player
Epic has made it very clear in the past and I guarantee it's that way now that they're going to ban
You just like they did with various rift and floor glitches in earlier season. So glitches may be fun
Just don't use them to your advantage to win a game or kill somebody else or you could be putting your account in jeopardy
Smurfing now, this is a big one and before season 11 even started there were people getting canned for this
And for those that don't know
Smurfing is a term used for games with a ranking system where you make an account and you just go into a bunch of matches
And you die over and over to tank your stats and you make yourself look like the worst player ever
Then once the game starts putting you down in games with other horrible players
Well, you start slaying out now
A lot of people have done this for YouTube videos or just for fun or streaming and somewhat recently
People have been using Smurfs fortnight accounts to try and go for kill records in
Epic has made it super clear that smurfing in ranked play will get you the hot band
It's unclear if they're going to ban people for smurfing in pubs because of the skill based matchmaking in there
But there is evidence
that if you Smurfs and ranked
epic is going to bring down the hammer and they've already done it to a couple streamers and with the new map out in the
New chapter new season you don't want to go down like that
Here's something you won't get banned for make sure you enter the monthly ps4 giveaway

Leave me a comment why you want to win the PlayStation 4 and include your Twitter handle and I will pick a winner
at the end of the month
Next up is teaming now teaming has been a bit of a problem ever since the game actually came out and really it's a problem
In every battle royale game not just fortnight now because of how fortnight's matchmaking works
It is very easy to just queue up at the same time as someone else and force yourselves into their Lobby at which point you
Can just play as if you're on a team and get some easy wins to pad your stats teaming used to be tough to prove
But now that replays are available to all players
it is very easy to just go back and get hard proof of someone teaming with someone else and
They'll get banned for it now. I don't know why people still continue to team in for tonight
I mean, you know
You're gonna get banned for it probably so why would you put your account on the line in jeopardy? Just
For a few easy wins and teaming and ranks wolf. That's a whole nother ban and a whole other story
Griefing and now this is something that most gamers have gotten used to playing stuff online with with epic is made it very clear
They're not gonna stand for it
Briefing is a general term used for annoying your teammates in an online game and not actually playing the game
Properly a little bit of griefing here
and there's
But if you're someone who constantly gets reported for it epic is likely to bring you down with the banhammer
You guys know the type those people who knock down your builds dance on you when you get knocked use impulse grenades to kill you
So and so forth and obviously if you do it from time to time, you're probably gonna be fine
but if you're someone who constantly does this
Every time you get a kill or two random teammates don't be shocked if you wake up one morning
And you've got the hot ban on your fortnight account
Using a macro now macros have been kind of a gray area
In fortnight because it's hard to tell if someone is actually using one but if we're going off what época said they are indeed bana
baleen au with the new map and the new season for those who don't know a macro is kind of a mouse that
Allows you to assign custom button combinations
Into one press so you could press a single button on your mouse and then your character would act as if you just press three
or four
Different things it's designed to help reduce repetitive tasks in various apps
But people have been using them in games for a long time and epic made it very clear
The macros are not legal for competitive playing fortnight while it's not possible to prove if someone's using one since you're not in the house
Watching them. If someone does provide evidence that you're using a macro
There's a good chance epic will ban your account
now some people have experimented with macros and fortnight for things like braking and instantly replacing walls with a single press of a button which
Obviously gives them an unfair advantage and it seems epic is taking notice of this and adjusted the rules accordingly
Remember everything for competitive play in fortnight ranked play is it's hyped up like bans. Everything's like times 20
So be careful now, this is an obvious one, but I want to put it on the list
Anyway streams nightly if if you don't know what this is
It's when you queue up at the same time as a popular streamer
Get into their Lobby and then watch their stream for constant information of where they are
What they're using and the easiest way to kill this stream sniping is classified by most multiplayer games as a form of game
Sabotage, and yes, you can get banned after all you're using someone else's swinging to get an unfair advantage
Against them now. Some people would say that it just happens when you broadcast your location to the world in a battle royale game
But hey, I don't make the rules
I'm just the messenger in the message states that if u stream sniping for a night and there is ample evidence
Provided you kiss your account. Goodbye
Using a VPN or a virtual private network? Yep
this is still a
thing and it's something that a lot of people use now to make browsing the Internet more secure and they reduce the risk of
Information theft or they just don't want anybody see what they're looking at now
Ever since for night launch people have been getting banned for using VPNs to connect to the epic servers
the reason for this is
because a lot of people will use VPNs to get around IP bans since the VPN will actually hide your real IP address and this
Allows hackers to keep playing after getting fans
So or they got banned for something else on this list and they want to keep playing
Now the VPN ban does protect the game from excessive cheaters
But it's unfortunately also meaning that those of you whose VPNs for regular internet browsing
You're gonna have to disable that if you want to play fortnight
There have been a lot of people who've been kicked out of games or locked out all together until they actually disabled their VPN
It's just this weird situation that there really isn't any workaround for
Watch this
My fucking dick my dick
My fucking great-grandpa's dick
Okay, this is the most obvious one but hacking now if you get caught hacking in fortnight epic is going to bring the hammer down
On you aimbot wallhack, scott mode responding any cheats you can think of if epic sees them
You're probably done now
They have been immediately a little slow on actually banning people from time to time and this shouldn't surprise
Anyone that cheating will get you a hot band though. It's unclear
If epic is actually handing out IP bans to cheaters or if they're still just doing it account bans big difference there
Like I said, a lot of cheaters will use a VPN to get around the IP bans
But at the same time fortnight is a free game. So they're just doing account veins
There's nothing stopping people from making a new account and there are certain YouTube channels that have been promoting hacks and fortnight's for years now
And yeah years
So I actually know how epic really hands out account or IP bans or what the qualifications are for each one regardless
Don't cheat if you cheat you suck. And if you are a cheater, you can probably expect to get banned
Don't get mad if you do because you had it coming
Hacking in a different game and this is actually pretty funny
There have actually been a couple reports on forums and social media stating that people have been banned from fortnight because the game's anti cheat
detected cheats on their computer that were from a different game when user
Stated in a forum that they were banned per fortnight for hacking, but they never hacked in the game
However, they had been hacking in GTA 5 and apparently fortnight's anti cheat was able to detect that and gave them boots
So they punished them for hacking in another game
so either four nights a nighty doesn't know how to tell the difference between its own game or others or
Epic is just banning cheaters of all games. Either way just know that if you have cheats installed for any game at any time
there is a chance that for tonight's anti cheat software will pick it up and ban you and
finally
Feeding not naming any names, but if you feed your buddies in competitive games
You're gonna get payment and it just sucks
Feeding is when you essentially stream tonight someone's game and then just run up to them and let them kill you in pubs
It doesn't really matter because people are BOTS in pub but in competitive matches
there have been a number of instances in tournaments where players have their friends queue up with them just to land the other and
And get easy kills and easy points not naming any names here and this it there's a lot of money on the line
Epic's handling of certain situations like this has been controversial as many people thought they weren't harsh enough on the players
But the precedent has been set and you know, if it happens again, epoch is likely going to get a lot tougher on them
So feeding and competitive its Vanderbilt as it should be and as it always should have been so there you go
Those are ten ways that you can get banned in fortnight
expecially fortnight chapter 2
season 1
