Jarvis claimed that he was using aimbot. This allows for players to snap their weapon aim at targets. It is one of the most common hacks out there. Also, it is easily traceable. After Jarvis got banned, he released a statement that he was only doing it for a funny moments video and he was not hacking in the actual pro league matches. Of course, we cannot be sure of this. However, Epic Games is extremely strict against the ban and this incident resulted in a permaban on his account. Luckily for him Fortnite developers Epic Games does not do hardware bans. This means that he can still open another account and continue to play the game. Jarvis’s statement is below.
Some of the fans stated that Jarvis was not hacking in an actual match. They think there should not be a ban. But currently, we did not see any announcement from Epic Games nor him if it was lifted or not. Also, some claim that the ban is justified. Of course, after all, he did hack the game to gain an advantage over opponents. Epic Games has a sketchy past when it comes to bans. Some fans claim that they should have permabanned previous hackers as well an Epic Games is using Jarvis as a scapegoat to publicize the ban. We are not sure how will this pan out? Will Jarvis be able to still compete in the tournaments or his contract with the FaZe Clan is in danger.
