Bungie Takes Strong Action Against Cheating Devices in Destiny 2

TL;DR Summary
Bungie is cracking down on Destiny 2 players using third-party peripherals to cheat in the game’s competitive and cooperative modes. The studio is monitoring when players use devices to get the leg up against others and will issue warnings, restrictions, or outright bans depending on the situation. Bungie makes a distinction between external accessibility aids and third-party peripherals maliciously designed to give the user an advantage over others. Cheating in online games is as old as the medium, but what that means and how it’s detectable varies from game to game.
