Over the years, millions of people have joined the game and played it every day.

Anyone can be banned in Fortnite for many reasons. To be rehabilitated, they must first know the reason for the ban so that they can take the correct steps forward. Fortnite can impose a ban for several reasons such as toxicity account sharing, AFKing unruly behavior in chat rooms, cheating, using a VPN, or even team up with other players in solo matches. A ban can last anywhere 30 days or less to even forever. Here is the list of the different types of bans that can take place in the game.

1. Epic Games Account Bans

If a player is placed with a ban like this, it means they can no longer use their account on any device, IP or location. All player skins, achievements and stats are locked and will not be recoverable unless they can be re-enabled.

2. IP Prohibitions

These types of bans restrict a particular IP address, and no one can use it anymore to play Fortnite from any device or account as long as it uses the same IP.

3. Hardware Prohibitions

As the name suggests, the hardware will no longer be able to run Fortnite and if the player wants to play again, they will have to use a completely different device.

There are several ways to continue playing even after you have been banned. It varies based on why the player was banned in the first place. If someone is completely sure that the ban imposed on them is wrong and not guilty, they can appeal to Epic Games to unlock their account. Here are the steps on how to do it.

  • Step 1: Go to the Epic Games website.
  • Step 2: Click Contact us.
  • Step 3: Click Log into button and enter Account details. You are redirected to the ticket submission form.
  • Step 4: Enter your display name and email address linked to your Fortnite account.
  • Step 5: Choose the device on which the ban has been imposed.
  • Step 6: Explain why you should be canceled.
  • Step 7: Send the request.

Another unethical way to continue playing if the IP has been banned is to use a VPN to change the IP address. This is a very quick and easy method of getting around a ban and many players use it, although it can lead to a permanent ban, so anyone who tries to do so should do so at their own risk.
