Four-time Destiny 2 champion permabanned despite pleading innocent BungieOne of Destiny 2\u2019s most prolific players has been permanently banned for cheating but insists it was a misunderstanding with Bungie Security flagging an unrelated program. Destiny 2 is a game known for its immense skill ceiling and endless grind. However, some players choose to skip the hundreds of hours required to be competitive at the highest level and instead turn to cheats. Cheating has been a longstanding issue with players going far beyond traditional wallhacks and aimbots. There have been cases of Guardians flying around the map one-shotting everyone in sight, offering zero counterplay in the process. The topic of cheating becomes especially heated when discussing world firsts, sensational feats that only the best players can accomplish which is exactly why this latest ban has proven so controversial. Destiny 2 world first champion disputes permanent ban Four times Destiny 2 world first champion Cruz has been permanently banned after Bungie Security accused him of the use of \u201cediting\/debugging software marketed as a cheat program,\u201d with Bungie even checking that it was not a false positive. Following the permanent ban, Cruz exploded on X\/Twitter slamming the Destiny developer: \u201cYou just can\u2019t make this up man. Considering the fact that I described in detail the program and what\u2019s its purpose is for (cannot alter any files or inputs related to gaming) this is UNREAL!\u201d Elaborating further, Cruz claimed, \u201cWhen I play older Total War games (RTS games if you don\u2019t know) the economy system is dated and I usually run a program to alleviate the system beyond what out-dated workshop mods can do,\u201d believing this program is what got flagged by the anti-cheat. He reaffirmed, \u201cThis program once again cannot alter any files as it strictly is limited to working with the economy of these games,\u201d admitting that the program was, \u201cstill active in the background,\u201d as he had been playing Shogun 2 shortly before logging into Destiny. Cruz\u2019s ban is a historic event with him being recognized as being a part of the world\u2019s first clears for Vault of Glass, Vow of the Disciple, King\u2019s Fall, and Crota\u2019s End. If this is not a mistake and cheating was involved it would raise serious questions over the legitimacy of those achievements.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
