Bungie confirms that Destiny 2 will adopt more intolerance to controllers cheating devices

Controller fans that use devices to enhance the game but fail to see that that crosses the fair and cheat line are in bad luck as not only Ricochet for Call Of Duty is blocking them from play, soon, Destiny 2 will adopt the same stand.

Bungie confirmed this week that the anti-cheat software for Destiny 2 will be including flags with users using XIM, Cronus Zen, and ReaSnow S1 in gaming and not merely a controller if using the PC version of the game.

“Our community has grown increasingly frustrated by a form of cheating that uses third-party peripherals with the intent to manipulate the game client. These devices are plugged into a computer or console, where they can—for example—execute simple scripts or trick the game into giving you extra aim assist. You’ll note that we aren’t calling out the services by name, the primary reason for that is we simply don’t want to offer a bigger spotlight than necessary. Instead, our focus is on what the impact of using tools like this has on a PvP environment.”

While there should be a benefit of the doubt depending on how good or strange a gameplay goes in a match, Bungie has not stated how they will be enforcing warning, suspension or ban of at least, a 3 strike scheme.

Obviously the studio is well-aware that this will create debate (as is already happening in the Internet), especially users that claim that the accessibility option brings mainly devices emulating controllers, but has been notoriously abused.

For more preparation on the enforcing of this new “Villain Arc” as they will call the banning of cheating devices and scripts, Bungie will be “evaluating all gameplay for violations,” covering not just PvP deathmatch-style gameplay but also PvE events.
