'Played 4 games, faced 6 cheaters': Fortnite Chapter 3 has a hacking problem, says CourageJD

Fortnite Battle Royale is enjoyed by players worldwide. It has brought together people who enjoy going against one another in casual or competitive games. But this has also motivated some players to use hacks in order to win games or create chaos in the system.

Epic has faced in-game hackers and cheaters using unfair means such as aim bots, pre-building retakes, phase through walls, location detectors, god-mode, invisibility and many more. Fortnite, over the past few years, has banned these in-built hacks and is also currently partnered with ANTI-CHEAT to restrict these exploits.

But recently, in a game during CouRage JD's stream which included SypherPK, Wildcat, and Ninja in his squad, a hacker surfaced and stream sniped his way throughout the game.
