If you've accidentally linked to the wrong Dauntless or Epic Account, please reach out to our support team and provide them with your Dauntless username and email, and your Epic email. We may ask some clarifying questions to ensure you're the proper owner of the Dauntless account.

If you need to unlink your console or Epic Account from your Dauntless account, this can be done by reaching out to our support team as well but please be warned this will result in a complete wipe of your account progression and may result in you not being able to link those accounts again.
