Following legal action, the makers of the Cronus devices removed Fortnite and Rocket League gamepacks and scripts from their website that help people cheat. Additionally, Cronus hardware and any other device that offers a competitive advantage are restricted and will result in a cheating ban.
While the consequence is a cheating ban at minimum, it may also include the loss of tournament winnings and other legal repercussions.

New PC Requirements for Tournaments
Devs are also focused on combatting cheating in tournaments, where competitive integrity is the cornerstone. For tournaments like FNCS events that require an Account Level of 350 or higher to be eligible, Windows PC players will need to enable two Windows security features starting today: TPM and Secure Boot.
Offering a Second Chance
While maintaining game integrity is our top priority, we also believe in allowing second chances for players who made a bad decision and have learned from it. Starting in April, we’ll be moving to a one-year matchmaking ban for first-time cheating offenses, allowing former cheaters to learn from their mistakes while still punishing and deterring cheating. A second offense will result in a lifetime ban.
This means for the duration of their first ban, players will be able to log in and text/voice chat with other players, but won’t be able to matchmake into Epic- or creator-made experiences, or spectate other players. As part of rolling out this policy, existing lifetime cheating bans that have been in effect for more than a year will be lifted.
