The MMO shooter Destiny is now also affected by some cheats. Even if they are not particularly widespread, they still attract attention.
Kotaku discusses the so-called “mods” in Destiny in a recent article. Some time ago, (we also reported about it), a cheat was mentioned that grants unlimited ammo. Apparently, this has now significantly evolved. It is now said that a Godmode is also possible with the program, which is what it’s called in shooter circles when a player becomes invulnerable, and it can also achieve enormous damage numbers through console commands.
Only on Xbox 360, but probably not just for personal use
Kotaku does not seem to have established contacts in the cheating scene and can only report seemingly. In contrast to the situation in MMORPGs like ArcheAge, the problems in Destiny appear to be very limited. Such a “mod” only runs on last-gen consoles, they say. In this case, on an Xbox 360. For that, you also need a “modded” Xbox 360, which the average Destiny player cannot use.
And, Kotaku sees the somewhat strange tranquillizer that the cheater states in his video that the trainer is not for sale, but only for personal use. The source code will also not be released. However, if you follow up a bit, the “cheat” does not come from the YouTuber but from another player. And he is indeed willing to share the so-called “trainer” but only in exchange for financial compensation.
It has been reported by Kotaku that Bungie has now been asked for a statement. Because even though cheats only appear sporadically, their mere existence is already concerning.
Video shows God mode and other cheats in Destiny
In the video, you can see how a YouTuber operates the so-called “mod” using a console and thus achieves all sorts of incredible things in Destiny, including “99,999” damage hits and the invulnerability mode. All of these are dangerous cheats that are likely to cause quite a stir as soon as other players are affected. The use of “mod” in quotes is because nearly everyone outside this small scene does not see it as a mod, but clearly as a cheat.
For reassurance: Some commentators complain that the “mod” does not help at all, stating they have been banned every time after three hours. We will keep you updated on how the story develops.
