  Yeah on the PC aimbotting is really bad,  but it's not just fortnite.  Still, it's pretty bad for PC fortnite.

  I mean it's a free-to-play third person game with no noticable anti-cheat. All you'd have to do is google "fortnite aimbot" and you're done. 
  
  This isn't surprising in the least. 
  
  In PUBG there's at least a paywall so potential cheaters are kind of discouraged in doing so. It still has it's problems but I predict it won't be nearly as bad as this game will be.

  If this is true, Bluehole may sue, because Fortnite is taking all their aimbotters...

  They already admitted through the next steps for the PvP is working through cheating, it's currently vulnerable.

  Honestly, this is the main problem with shooters on the PC. It's too easy to get access to aimbots and it's too easy to just keep making new accounts (on cheap games and F2P games). Even in full priced games you still see a lot of aimbots. It's obnoxious and is one of the reasons I don't tend to play PC shooters other than CSGO (which has it's own set of cheaters that suck) and arena shooters like Quake. 
  
  I've been playing most of my shooters on PS4 even though I hate using a controller, it's just an even playing field with little to no hackers. There isn't significant hardware advantage either, like in CSGO, higher frame rate = easier time playing, higher monitor refresh rate = smoother gameplay, basically people say you need 144hz after a certain point in competition play. On the console everyone is pretty much in the same boat.

  Now I remember why I never play shooters, rampant cheating.
  
  Well, besides the fact I totally would suck at them with my slow reflexes  
  
  Hmm, maybe I could get a handicap permit from the Devs to use aimbotting?
