I played arena and there was an opponent in front of me in the turtle. I'm rotated long because of the zone behind him and he did pickaxe swing. I didn't shoot him because I wanted to rotate without a fight and he did that too. But I didn't do a pickaxe swing. Can I be banned for this?
So you can't be banned, you will be thrown out of the game. But if you do that more often you will be banned.
You can only be banned for teaming if you kill an opponent with him. As far as I know.
You just can't kill anyone. Everything chilled out.
Well, Ranked is something else. As far as I know, Ranked can result in a temporary or permanent arena ban (he can no longer play an arena).
No not quite in ranked it is the same for 3 times you can already be banned. But not for once. And if you haven't killed an opponent zsm either
"Pickaxe Swinging" was also banned by EpicGames and therefore many players were banned.
Yes, he didn't do a pickaxe swinging too
That's right, the opponent did it and I didn't shoot him, I just rotated

The pickaxe swinging in Fortnite is now a criminal offense
Epic has published a competitive Fortnite blog that highlights new rules against "Trucing" or "Pickaxe Swinging".
So everything is good and have a lot of fun with the game.
Dude, I thought Fortnite couldn't get any worse…
If both pickaxes swing, they can be banished. Happens rarely, because for epic it is impossible to check all players, especially in arena. If only one did it, then only he would be of concern and not you, because it is your decision whether you disengage or attack him in the moving zone
