Destiny 2: Beyond Light, like many games, has its fair share of cheaters and hackers. While most cheating and hacking is done on PC, the console versions ofDestiny 2: Beyond Lightare not immune to cheating and hacking.Destinyplayers have been voicing their frustration with cheaters with many popular players even moving away from PC because of the number of cheaters.
For the last month, Bungie has been battling an exploit in its Fireteam Rejoin feature that has causedTrials of Osiris to be canceleduntil last weekend. Bungie has mentioned in the past that it does not ban people for using systems in the game in unintended ways. When it comes to cheats and hacks, Bungie has been known to focus on third-party software.

Today July 30, 2025, Bungie’s Twitter account let out a message informing people thatDestiny’s Security Team has taken a swing of the banhammer. This reaffirms Bungie’s stance against cheaters and its desire to keepDestinya fair and level playing field inDestiny.
Bungie further states that it is watching, which should ease some concerns from the community aroundBungie’s stance against cheaters. While many players may want a more detailed message that discusses Bungie’s plan of action, Bungie did not give any details around the ban wave.
Bungie has previously stated that it does not want to give too much information on its banning process or how it plans to attack cheaters. Deciding to withhold information is a strategy for Bungie to combat the cheaters and hackers.
Previously,Bungie teamed up with Riot Games to sue GatorCheats, a software company that makes cheats for online games. Bungie has been taking cheating seriously for a while now and has continuously taken steps to mitigate cheating inDestiny 2.
Bungie’s persistence against cheaters and hackers proves just how difficult of a process it is to combat those who don’t play fair.Destiny 2: Beyond Lightplayers may not think Bungie is doing enough to combat the non-stop issue of cheating, but Bungie’s recent tweet should give some Guardians more peace of mind that it’s actively working on the problem.
While the problem of cheaters is a problem in many games,Bungie being vocal about its opposition to cheaters and hackersis a good thing. Hopefully, this will make some cheaters and hackers think twice about trying to hack their way through the game using third-party software or cheats.
