Epic has concluded an investigation into cheating at Fortnite’s Summer Skirmish competition.
Winner Idropz_Bodies netted $130,000 after successfully eliminating 129 competitors over the weekend, but spectators grew suspicious and accused the PlayStation 4 player – who was not live streaming at the time – of using a keyboard and mouse and colluding with other players to fix match outcomes.
“A crime was committed yesterday during the Saturday Skirmish,” stated an emotive post on Reddit (via IGN). “Idropz_Bodies cheated his way to $130,000. Epic, do not be foolish. This is burglary. There must be a FULL-ON investigation on his matches played.”
