Bungie drops the banhammer in Destiny

Cheaters be damned.

As a part of Bungie's Weekly Update on Destiny, the developers have revealed that they have made efforts to bring 'justice' to the game's 'most notorious cheaters'. Bungie's justice came in the form of dropping the Banhammer on 'hundreds' of cheaters.

"We started with a look at the most notorious cheaters that had been reported by other players," Bungie wrote. "After a cross-reference against our own player-data, we gave the Banhammer a mighty swing. Contained in its blast radius were hundreds of people who have manipulated network traffic."

This will not be the last time Bungie takes aim at cheaters in Destiny. The developers are 'committed to protecting Destiny against cheaters.' They ask that players play the game fairly and if they don't, they will be hunted and banned. While Bungie maintains a stance against cheaters, they do not condone shaming cheaters within the community.

"Shaming your offenders in a video might feel good, but it doesn’t factor into our process for passing down a guilty verdict – and it might get you in trouble with the moderators of your favorite Guardian clubhouse! Issue a report."

It comes down to this, report the cheaters and play the game fairly.
