Bungie Takes Strong Action Against Cheating Devices in Destiny 2

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.

Bungie intensifies crackdown on third-party peripheral cheaters in Destiny 2.

Bungie has announced a new policy to deal with cheaters who use third-party peripherals to manipulate the game and gain an unfair advantage in Destiny 2. The policy targets programmable controllers, keyboard and mouse adapters, advanced macros, or automation via artificial intelligence. Bungie will hand out restrictions, warnings, and bans to individuals who use these external aids. However, the policy notes that using an accessibility aide to play Destiny 2 where a player could not play otherwise would not be a violation of the policy.
