Destiny 2 talks about cheats, but removes many points

With Destiny 2, Bungie has admitted that you have a cheating problem that has grown significantly. Bungie introduces a key measure right now: Now people who play tricks should also be blocked. Much more remains secret.

Bungie had announced that she would talk about cheating. Now the statements are there, but they are a bit short. Bungie doesn’t mention any key points in his strategy, for fear of betraying the cheats too much.

Bungie admits: In a blog post, Destiny Engineering Director David Aldridge confirmed exactly what players have been calling about for months. Cheating has increased significantly in Destiny 2:

• Cheating has increased by 50% since January 2020
• There are currently 2,133 players per week, before season 10 there were only 656
• most of the cheating would be done on the PC, which is particularly susceptible to “memory attack” attacks.

Those who are lured by the cheater will be banned

This is the clear measure that Bungie plans: From now on, Bungie says, they want to ban or restrict players who profit from cheats, even if they don’t fool themselves.

These are people who play tricks, but also people who are fooled by a cheater, either when they play with him or give their own account.

Anyone who cheats “without trial” will be banned.

Psst, the bad guys shouldn’t know that

These are the secret measures that Bungie is planning: The somewhat unsatisfactory part of the blog post is a number of issues that Bungie is working on, but they don’t want to comment on. But you want the players to know that they are working on it.

So you don’t say anything about aimbots or wallhacks. Because you don’t want to give cheats an edge.

The delay change, which is particularly annoying on the console, is in plain view, but you must be careful here not to ban innocent players with bad connections.

“Additional initiatives will not be publicly discussed”

Another “secret measure” is cited that Bungie is planning, but immediately “censored,” which is too secret to be discussed publicly.

This is what Bungie says about cheats: Anyone who has previously criticized that the cheats problem has increased since Destiny 2 has been on Steam instead of Battle.net can be happy to hear that Bungie is regularly with the team of Steam security speaks to address issues.

Bungie also says they will give cheating a higher priority and that more employees will address the problem.

That is behind this: Bungie’s post is like previous posts about “cheating”. Bungie says they are working on it, but don’t go into too much detail for fear of wasting an informational advantage.

It wasn’t until early April that Bungie emphasized that they were working on the problem, but that it had gotten worse over the weeks. These posts have vanished in the past when the PvPers’ gaming experience hasn’t changed.

Trials of Osiris in particular have a problem with cheating. Participation has decreased considerably here, especially on the PC.

One idea of ​​how Bungie could stop cheating here is to take money for the tests.
