Players cannot unban themselves in Fortnite

Several members of the Fortnite community have raised queries regarding bans in Fortnite. For example, if a player gets banned for a specific number of days, will changing the system date unban them?.

This system seems to be an innovative way to remove bans and enjoy Fortnite. Popular streamer GKI, who is well known for exposing glitches and system issues, decided to address the above mentioned issue in one of his videos.

The video showcases the procedure which was followed by a gamer. The looper was banned for a day. So the player decided to check whether changing the date will remove the ban or not. Much to the disappointment of the gamer, he did not get unbanned.

Gamers who get banned by the system get a floating message on their screen showing the duration of the ban. After changing the date, this error message gets removed from the system.

With this, loopers will be able to proceed. They can try to enter a game, but the system will prevent the looper from entering and will display an error message.
