That players get banned in Destiny 2 is common, but this time it has hit one of the most illustrious among them. According to his own statements, he was banned unjustly, for a very peculiar reason.
Who is it about? The “Destiny 2” pro Cruz is known to many players. He is among the best and most illustrious players of the game and has completed 4 World Firsts, among other achievements. World Firsts refer to the first completions of new, difficult content. Cruz was also invited to events by “Destiny 2” developer Bungie.
However, the pro has now been hit hard, as his account was banned in Destiny 2, along with his achievements.
Here you can see the most epic moments of the saga of Light and Darkness.
Pro allegedly banned for cheating in another game
Why was he banned? Initially, Cruz thought he had been banned because of a build he advised his followers against in a tweet. However, according to Bungie, he was banned for a program that attempted to access the game’s memory. The program was recognized as a “cheat program” by the Destiny 2 anti-cheat system, leading to the player’s ban.
Did Cruz cheat in Destiny 2? According to his own statements, Cruz may have had cheating software running for the strategy game Total War: Shogun 2. With it, he wanted to cheat some money – similar to entering motherlode in Sims.
Although he claims to have closed the program, it likely continued running in the background and was detected by Destiny 2’s anti-cheat system, or so he suspects.
What does Cruz say about it? Cruz has been permanently banned and cannot submit another unban request. On X (formerly Twitter), he expressed his emotions.
You simply can’t make this up, man. Given that I’ve described the program in detail and what it is intended for (no changes to files or inputs related to gaming), this is UNBELIEVABLE! Well played, guys, the [ban] was real, but this is something I can’t respect. No discussion … just a simple statement that they are claiming the truth.
Cruz on Twitter
How is the community reacting? The community is very upset about the ban on X (formerly Twitter). Cruz, who has been playing the game for 10 years, seems credible to users. Some also feel that they should focus on dealing with real cheaters instead of banning someone for this.

VibeOCE writes: “The fact that it’s easier to buy hacks from a website and not get banned these days is crazy to me.
A 4-time champion who has a program that helps you with the economy in a real-time strategy game must get banned. They really outdid themselves.”
Do you find the ban justified or are you on the side of Bungie, whose anti-cheat system detected the program? Feel free to let us know in the comments. Recently, a player wanted to prove that Blizzard has no customer service at all and set a trap for it.
