In Destiny 2, the competition for the Kingsfall raid took place recently. Players from all over the world compete there in PvE for unique emblems, triumphs, and a prestigious winner’s belt. The endgame race is often streamed live. However, it has also come to light that some players have openly cheated in front of everyone. MeinMMO shows you the cheating attempt.
Cheaters are a really big problem in Destiny 2. Hardly any PvP match is not affected by it. That is also why more and more players are losing interest in the Crucible. It has long been a place where things are not fair, and this is very frustrating for honest players.
Cheating also affects you in PvE: While cheating certainly occurs in PvE in Destiny 2, it is hardly noticed here. Unless the cheaters are so brazen as to cheat live during the big world-first race in the “Kingsfall” raid, while 1000 viewers watch them.
Cheater deals 17 million damage with 30 Golden Gun shots
When the big raid race started last weekend, cheaters obviously left their Crucible habitat and ventured into the PvE endgame. After all, there was a prestigious Week 1 emblem, unique triumphs, and a big prize to be won.
Since some streams of the raid race were broadcast, many attentive viewers and other players noticed the cheating attempts.
The most conspicuous was undoubtedly an absurd video showing a player in the Kingsfall raid during the War Priest encounter. However, the clip was not recorded from the perspective of the accused player. You can clearly see from his perspective that his teammate, to his left, is obviously able to do the impossible.
- After the player activates his super for the War Priest boss phase, he was able to fire a total of 30 rapid shots from his Golden Gun at the final boss.
- Moreover, it can be seen from a flawed attempt in the statistics that he has dealt over 17 million damage. That’s nearly 20 times that of the entire rest of the team.
Here, you can watch the clip yourself:
After the incident, it was clear to anyone familiar with Destiny 2: This is absolutely impossible. Viewers immediately pointed out the potential cheater in the chat and expressed their displeasure at such brazen behavior.
The player strikefreedom gundam commented on a clip on YouTube:
It is so sad to see a race, which is all about who can conquer the raid, ruined by people like these, who make those that [play] fairly look bad and give the raid race a bad reputation.

Attempts to explain were of no help: Apparently, the raid team had to find a replacement for a missing player. This player was apparently not willing to play fair.
Moreover, the explanations changed nothing about the fact that cheating was taking place live during an official world-first raid.
Other cheaters were also caught live: This case is by the way not an exception. In other streams, inconsistencies were also discovered during the world-first race.
There are even videos showing how the final boss Oryx takes damage without anyone actually shooting at him.
If you haven’t explored the raid yet, here’s a little preview:
Was the raid race cheating? No. There may have been a theoretical possibility that a team with cheaters could win the official competition. However, one must also know that Bungie thoroughly reviews the runs of the winning team after the race to ensure that everything was done fairly.
In the case of the current winning team 2022 from the clan “Elysium”, Bungie has already confirmed that no one had to cheat here and their third victory in a row is therefore deserved.
Nevertheless, many players wonder why cheating and foul play are still possible in Destiny 2 even after 3 years?
Especially since the cheaters apparently not only use cheats and hacks from external providers but also the so-called net-limiting. Something that has been working in Destiny 2 for a long time and has never been addressed.
If cheaters are now not only creating insecurity in PvP but also harming the good reputation of fair top players, it is no wonder that now the Destiny 2 professionals from the most renowned clans are urging Bungie to ensure that such cheaters have no chance.
Net-Limiting is a long-known problem in Destiny 2
While Bungie has now been very active legally, and takes harsh measures against PvP cheating providers and manufacturers, as well as cheaters themselves, more and more players are using the so-called “net-limiting” to continue dominating everything in Destiny 2.
This is not a new concept but has existed for years. It has become popular again, likely due to Bungie’s measures. Additionally, the anti-cheat system of Destiny 2 apparently cannot detect it.
As several players noted, the above-mentioned cheater apparently also used net-limiting to cheat in the endgame competition of Destiny 2. Because those who cheat in PvE are, in the opinion of many gamers, only committing “a victimless crime”.
The game does not register anymore whether one has already shot their super or not. This information is not transmitted to Bungie’s servers.
- With such an advantage, tough PvE content such as raids or Nightfall Strikes can be completed easily and in a short time.
- This helps one to obtain raid exotics more quickly.
- Furthermore, all triumph challenges become child’s play, allowing cheaters to showcase the hardest titles and emblems in no time.
What do you think about this brazen cheating attempt during the world-first race? Is it okay for you in PvE? Or do you also think Bungie has a big problem with cheaters, and it’s getting worse? Feel free to leave your opinion on this in the comments.
If you no longer want to hear about cheaters and fraudsters in Destiny 2, we recommend visiting the raid, as an ogre is currently drowning out everything there.
