Fortnite uses both EAC and BattleEye, so it really isn't that easy to integrate with their custom solution. Also, they have to test it to make sure no bugs are introduced. Afterall, it's a multi-billion USD game.

But as we know, they really don't care, so even if it was only a day of development time, they wouldn't do it.

BattlEye also supports Valve Proton. ◉⁠_◉
That's as easy as messaging BattlEye to enable it.

BattlEye is kernel rootkit and is not supported by proton. Guess why.

BattleEye is supported by proton

How? It is kernel-level. There is no windows kernel in proton.

EAC and BattleEye both run a userspace anticheat when used through Proton
