The latest ban wave will make the game fair for everyone. Since using Cronus Zen is considered cheating, the game will be so much better without it.

On using the popular device, players will be detected and get a warning which will kick them out of the game. There is only one warning. If players ignore it, they will be banned permanently. Epic Games has a zero tolerance policy when it comes to cheating, which is why this ban will last forever.

"Players who use restricted devices that provide, or are intended to provide, a competitive advantage may receive an in-game warning. To continue playing, players must remove the hardware and restart Fortnite," Epic Games published in a blog post.

"Attempts to bypass this restriction will result in a permanent ban from Fortnite."

It is unlikely that Epic will revert this ban anytime soon. To read more about the restricted devices that cause Fortnite bans, please visit this link.

Cronus Zen and why it's banned

Cronus Zen is an advanced controller converter that allows console players to gain a huge advantage over their opponents. Besides controllers, these users can use it to connect a keyboard and mouse to their gaming system.

However, the device has been banned by Epic Games due to its support for mods. Thousands of free scripts can be easily installed on the hardware and most of them are made for cheating.

For example, the game’s players can achieve almost flawless accuracy while using it with certain scripts. The device isn't easily detected, which is why many players have gotten away with it. However, the new season of the video game has changed things and will ban anyone who tries to use it.
