In a video called, Golden Modz sued by Fortnite, Mr Lucas said he was not sure why Epic Games had taken action.
In October, Epic Games took over anti-cheat software firm Kamu as part of its efforts to tackle unauthorised modifications to its games. The case was filed in the Eastern District of North Carolina. We take cheating seriously, and we'll pursue all available options to make sure our games are fun, fair, and competitive for players."Įpic Games is headquartered in the US state of North Carolina. The company told the BBC it did not comment on active legal cases.īut it said in a statement: "When cheaters use aimbots or other cheat technologies to gain an unfair advantage, they ruin games for people who are playing fairly. In the documents, Epic Games said the cheaters were "creating unauthorised derivative works of Fortnite by unlawfully modifying the game's code". Several other videos in which he used the aimbot cheat have been removed from YouTube following a copyright complaint from Epic Games.Īnother YouTube gamer, Colton Conter, is also named in the legal filing. In Mr Lucas's latest YouTube video he "trolls default skins" - players who may be new and have yet to change their character's appearance. It is only available for the PC version of the game, but offers a significant competitive advantage to any player using the cheat. One of the hacks available on Mr Lucas's website is aimbot, which lets players automatically target and kill enemies without having to aim their weapon.
"Defendant Lucas not only cheats, he also promotes, advertises, and sells software that enables those who use it to cheat," the document states. Nobody likes a cheater," Epic Games said in its legal filing.
