In response to the backlash, Sin said, "The clip of the guns is me; I don't understand why everyone [is] so mad. I literally said, 'IF there is a zombie apocalypse or ni**er outbreak, then we got the armory ni**a."

"I never threatened anyone o said I'm gonna do anything. Everyone watch the clip and listen to what I said," Sin added. According to professional Fortnite player Av, Epic Games "had information about this man for a week" but failed to issue any form of punishment.

"Since the initial video has been tweeted, he and all of his friends involved have played and qualified through multiple rounds of tournaments. [It's a] horrible look for the company," Av tweeted while sharing evidence of other racist remarks made by Sin.

While some Twitter users call Sin's remark a "hate crime," others are more concerned by Sin's extensive collection of weaponry. "No one should have that many guns, no one should have hate toward another race, nor create some fictional dystopian world they’re afraid of," said Twitter user Lex Martinez.

At this time, Epic Games have not issued an official statement regarding Sin's overt racist outburst. However, we will endeavor to update you regarding any further developments related to this story.
