Destiny 2: Bungie takes strict measures against cheaters

The problem of cheating through third-party peripherals in video games is still a scourge that many developers are trying to combat as best they can. Bungie has just announced the implementation of a new zero tolerance policy for this phenomenon in Destiny 2.

Sanctions ranging from account suspension to permanent ban

Bungie just announced a new zero-tolerance policy for cheating in Destiny 2. Players who use cheating devices such as XIM, Cronus Zen, and ReaSnow S1 will now be subject to suspensions and account bans.

These cheat devices allow players to circumvent the rules of the game, allowing them to use unauthorized functions such as aimbots, macro scripts or “rapid fire” programs, which give players an unfair advantage over the other players.

Bungie has stated that the use of these cheat devices is “inconsistent with the philosophy of fair play” and that they take this situation very seriously. Players caught using these devices will be subject to a 14-day account suspension, while repeat offenders will have their account permanently banned. This zero tolerance policy is a step forward in the fight against cheating in video games.
