Using hacks and cheats in games has always been a taboo in the world of gaming. Using hacks and cheats to participate in tournaments is even more strictly prohibited, and if you do so and then brag about it online, it will certainly create a wave of anger among the gaming community around the world. However, just recently, a gamer appeared who performed all the above “combos” and caused the online community to stir and seethe with anger.
Accordingly, the game mentioned in the story is Fortnite – one of the most popular survival shooters in the world at the moment with a large number of players. The developer himself also tries very hard to develop the community by often opening online tournaments, where many gamers can participate, whether in solo or co-op mode, and have the opportunity to receive up to $100 for each match. And because it is an online format, controlling hackers and cheaters is also quite difficult. There is absolutely a story of cheaters “slipping through the net” and at the same time taking the bonuses from the above community.
Recently, such a hacker has appeared. Not only did he proudly show off his hacking and cheating in tournaments, he also generously introduced his hacking technique. That is, using a special device to run the game on one PC and cheat on another PC. Through the post, this hacker also frankly admitted that he had earned up to $11,000 (nearly 300 million VND) just by hacking and winning the above tournaments.
The cheater's public confession has caused a great deal of frustration and outrage in the Fortnite community. With the rise of more sophisticated cheaters, the competitiveness of these community tournaments is in great danger, and it will be difficult for Epic to fully control this problem.
