Preliminary information
Prima di enter the dettaglio della procedura su how to ban on Fortnite, I think it might interest you to learn more about the causes and consequences of a ban in the famous Epic Games title.
The ban, as you surely know, is a drastic measure that is adopted when a player does not respect the rules imposed by a certain title. For example, use gods tricks in an online game it will almost certainly lead to banning, as well as starting to annoy other users via voice or text chat. In short, the ban is the punishment that is inflicted on those who do not behave well.
The ban involves the total exclusion of the player from all activities linked to that account or to a particular game. As you may have already guessed, it is not the users who decide which players should be banned, as their judgment may not be impartial.
The final choice is always up to the managers of the game, Epic Games in the case of Fortnite, and the user can only send reports to the latter, in order to facilitate their work.
That said, there is something we players can do for ourselves: each player, in fact, can decide to block the people who bother him, so that he no longer meets them in the game world and no longer has to interact with them.
By acting in this way, the user who is the object of the block is not banned from the game but can no longer interact with the person who applied the restriction against him.
To find out more, keep reading: in the next chapters, I will explain both how to send a report to Epic Games, so that the latter verifies the situation and proceeds with a possible ban of the reported user, and how to block a specific one by itself. player. Enjoy the reading!
How to ban a player on Fortnite
After explaining what a ban is, I would say that you are ready to take action and have nothing more to do with that player who is bothering you so much in Fortnite!
Account Epic Games
If you want to avoid a player on Fortnite, I recommend that you block him directly through the account epic Games, so that he can no longer interact with you on any gaming platform.
To proceed from a PC, open theEpic Games Launcher and log in, entering email address e Password in the appropriate fields and pressing the green button ACCESS NOW (if required). After that, click on the entry Friends present on the left and press on player name you want to block. At this point, select the item BLOCK and click sul pulsating Yes, I'll give you confirmation.
In case of second thoughts, you just need to perform this procedure again and select the item UNLOCK, after selecting the name of theblocked user, then sending a new one friend request to the latter.
If, on the other hand, you want to block a player directly from the game (from PC, console or mobile device), all you have to do is start the mode Battle Royale di Fortnite, go to the Friends (using the PS4 controller touchpad or the top left icon on mobile, for example), tap on the user's name to block and select the item first BLOCK and later that Yes. This way, the selected player will no longer be able to interact with you and annoy you.
Obviously, there is also the possibility to report a player to Epic Games and request their ban. To do this, you have to wait to be defeated by the user involved and select the item Report player which appears at the bottom right.
At this point, you just have to select the reason of the report among those proposed (eg. Cheats and hacking), press on player name of your interest among those present in the game, declare if you know or not that person and press the button ACCEPT. You may be asked to enter a short one as well Description of the problem.
Epic Games will receive your report and check if what you say is true, proceeding to ban the player, in case there is clear evidence of his behavior against the rules.
Console account
See the Fortnite games consul, I advise you to block a player through the internal account of the latter (as it is a profile that manages friends in a different way than the Epic Games account).
To block a player on console, you need to use the native functionality of the operating system implemented in it. For example, if you have one PlayStation 4, you have to go to the toolbar top of the main menu and press the key X controller icon Friends (the one with the two smiley faces).
At this point, select the voice All of the friends which is on the left and press the button X of the pad above user's name to block. I remind you that you can also use your voice Search present on the left and look for the nickname of the player you no longer want to have anything to do with.
Now, press the button [...] and select the item Block twice in a row. Perfect, now the selected user will no longer be able to disturb you in Fortnite and any other PlayStation 4 title.
In case of future second thoughts, just go back to the PS4 menu dedicated to friends, press the button Unlock and resend the friend request to the unlocked user. For more information on this procedure, I invite you to consult my guide on how to add friends on Fortnite.
If, on the other hand, you want to request the ban of a particular player, all you have to do is go back to the tab Friends (the one with the two smiley faces) and select the user's name say your interest.
Once this is done, press the button Options of the pad, select the voice Report from the menu that opens and choose the reason you want to report the player for.
- Behavior during the game or things created or shared within the game - this option is used to report a player who has misbehaved within a certain title. Often, however, the PS4 will invite you to use the game's internal reporting system (you will then have to follow the directions I gave you in the previous chapter).
- Something created or shared outside of the game - I recommend that you choose this option in case the user who is bothering you has sent you inappropriate content outside of the game. For example, if you have been insulted for no reason after a game of Fortnite. The PS4 will ask you to select the "offending" content and to send a report from the latter. All you have to do is open the message, photo, comment, etc. to signal, press the key Options controller, select the item Report from the proposed menu and follow the instructions that appear on the screen.
- Something in the profile - this is the option you have to select if the user you want to block has an online ID, real name, description or profile photo that is objectionable on the PlayStation Network. To proceed, you will be prompted for the motivation of the report (eg. I think it shouldn't be on PlayStation Network, Contains harassment or hate speech or Requires account data and personal information) and you will have to follow the instructions that will appear on the screen.
For more details, I invite you to consult my guide on how to ban on PS4. In case you have one instead Xbox One or of an Nintendo Switch, I recommend that you take a look at the official guidelines from Microsoft and Nintendo respectively.
The procedures to follow, however, are very similar to the one I explained above in relation to the PlayStation 4: you should not have any problems in achieving your goal.
