Cheating in Fortnite has become a massive problem, especially for competitive players participating in cups and tournaments. From aimbots to wall hacks and even less obvious techniques like macros and soft aim, cheaters have been tarnishing the gaming experience for many players.
What is Fortnite Soft Aim?
Fortnite Soft Aim refers to a type of cheating software used by some players to gain an unfair advantage in the game. It has become increasingly popular, with more reports of its use in recent times. Soft Aim is essentially a smart adjustable aimbot that can be customized with different triggers and outputs in the settings.
This rise in cheating is causing concern among Fortnite players, as it makes the game much more difficult and less enjoyable for those who play fairly.
The prevalence of cheating seems to have grown due to the accessibility and resale of such software, as well as the realization that anti-cheat systems like EAC are not perfect.
Wall hacks are another cheating method that has become popular, further compromising the integrity of the game. Fortnite’s competitive scene is suffering as a result, and it is unclear how these issues can be effectively addressed. There is a need for better anti-cheat measures and a stronger focus on maintaining a fair playing field for all players.
How Can Epic Games Prevent Soft Aim Hackers?
To tackle this problem, Fortnite can take inspiration from Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO) and implement a similar system called “Overwatch.” This system allows trusted players in the community to review in-game replays of suspected cheaters and determine if they are indeed cheating.
How the Overwatch System Works
When a player encounters a suspected cheater in CS:GO, they report the player. If enough reports are submitted against the suspected player, they will be investigated by trusted CS:GO players using the Overwatch system.
Investigating the Suspected Cheater
Trusted players will review the suspect’s replay and come up with a verdict – either “evidence beyond reasonable doubt” (cheating) or “insufficient evidence” (not cheating). Once all the trusted players have submitted their verdicts, the Overwatch system tallies up the reports and makes a decision on whether the suspect is cheating or not. If found guilty, the cheater will be banned; if not, they’ll be set free.
Fortnite already has a fully functional replay system, so implementing a similar system to CS:GO’s Overwatch should be relatively straightforward.
Benefits of the Overwatch System for Fortnite
By allowing trusted players in the Fortnite community to review suspected cheaters’ replays, the burden of identifying and banning cheaters is shared with the community, taking some pressure off Epic Games’ anti-cheat system. This approach can lead to a cleaner, more enjoyable gaming experience for all players.
Engaging the Community
Allowing the community to participate in the process of identifying and banning cheaters not only helps reduce the number of cheaters in the game but also fosters a sense of responsibility and pride in maintaining a fair and fun environment.
Conclusion
Implementing an Overwatch-like system in Fortnite can significantly help reduce the number of cheaters in the game. By leveraging the power of the community, Epic Games can work together with players to create a cleaner, more enjoyable gaming experience for everyone.
