[QUOTE="Admin, post: 58937, member: 1"] [URL='https://www.ign.com/games/destiny-2']Destiny 2 developer Bungie[/URL] has revealed a hardened policy designed to deal with cheaters who use third party peripherals that “manipulate the game” to provide an unfair player versus player advantage. “Our community has grown increasingly frustrated by a form of cheating that uses third-party peripherals with the intent to manipulate the game client,” read [URL='https://www.bungie.net/7/en/News/article/twab-04-13-2023-best-dressed']a post[/URL] on the Bungie website spotted by [URL='https://www.gamesindustry.biz/bungie-to-crack-down-on-third-party-peripherals-used-for-cheating']GI.biz[/URL] “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.” Bungie made a point of not naming the creators of the offending hardware, but stressed that it would hand out restrictions, warnings, and bans to individuals who use “external aids” specifically designed to “gain an advantage over other players”. These aids include “programmable controllers, keyboard and mouse adapters, advanced macros, or automation via artificial intelligence” that improve a players ability to control the game by, for example, reducing weapon recoil or increasing aim assist. However, the Destiny 2 developer stressed that it's trying to balance protecting its community from cheaters while making sure that the maximum amount of people can play the game.
