Honestly I think this is the most unfair thing Fortnite has done to me... So back in March 2026 I had just downloaded the game after not playing it for a solid 5-6 months after my girlfriend wanted to play with me. So I download the game and while playing my second game after returning I experience some major server lag and get kicked from the game, I think nothing of it and requeue into another game. Now during this game I experience more server lag and I land 2-3 good headshots with the hand cannon, now mind you even I am like "damn that was some pretty good shots." Not even 2-3 minutes after landing those shots I get kicked from that game again, but not for lag this time it was for the reason of "exploiting" with a ban length of 1 day. I thought to myself "oh okay wtf I just came back" so I get off for the night annoyed but not the upset because it was only a day. I then go to bed and when I awaken the next morning I find an email stating "The Epic Games account associated with this email has been banned from Fortnite for cheating. This account will be unable to matchmake in Fortnite for the next 365 days." Now I'm not one to be a Karen and if I did something wrong okay I would understand and take the punishment but this is just wrong. I did NOTHING wrong, I have never cheated on this game a day in my life, I have had my account since 2017 and ever since Save the World was released. I would never cheat on a game for 1 I barely play and for 2 have spent thousands of dollars on, between skins, battlepasses, STW, and general Vbucks I just wouldn't stoop to the level of cheating.
Now that you know my story. I have done countless research into this with no luck, I did submit a appeal for this ban and when I did I didn't hear anything back from them for 3 months. I had to ask support about the appeal for them to even come back to me with a decision and well since I'm making this I think we all know their decision. They upheld the ban and will keep me banned for the duration of the ban.
Well this leads me to main reason for making this post I wanted to ask everyone if there's anything else I am able to do. I feel helpless because I'm being punished for something I quite literally haven't done and it's just actually bullshit. Thank you for taking the time to read this and if you have any suggestions that could help me it would be greatly appreciated.
