In Destiny 2, the Guardian Games 2022 are in full swing. Players are fighting for the title of the best class and for a chance at a rare emblem. However, with a new trick, Guardians have found a way to cheat their way to the rare badge.
Bungie has addressed the issue and informed players via twitter:
We have updated the Guardian Games community scores (including the top 10%) to ignore high scores achieved by repeatedly reviving fireteam members.
Everyone remains eligible for the top 10% emblem, inflated scores will not unfairly distort the “10 %” threshold.
What is the problem with the Guardian Games 2022? Guardians can compete against each other, collect medals, and support their class. The class with the most medals wins and earns the title of the best Guardian faction 2022.
To give you another reason for your grind and participation in the Guardian Games, Bungie has created a rare emblem. Only players who have achieved the most points in the competitive playlist of the Guardian Games receive this emblem.
However, only your high score of the respective week counts. Only your best will be counted. If you have done this every week and the Guardian Games end, you may have the chance to be among the 10 % that receive the emblem, provided you have achieved high scores.
However, Guardians have now found a way to achieve up to 500,000 points with little effort to reach the top 10% of the best Guardians. They use a ridiculous trick that Bungie itself has implemented.
Honest players have little to no chance
How does the trick work? We at MeinMMO do not provide you with a guide on how to exploit bugs or glitches to gain an advantage over other Guardians.
Basically, Guardians exploit a medal that they receive for outstanding achievements in strikes. If you perform the exploit correctly, this medal is worth more than any kill in the strike. From then on, you must repeat your actions until you reach your desired score or the score timer runs out.
This trick is not only unfair, it also takes away the chance of honest players to obtain the rare emblem that Bungie has promoted. Players are essentially “cheating” in the Guardian Games to earn their rewards.
Has Bungie commented on this? So far, Bungie has remained silent. No statements from the developers on this issue can be found.
Perhaps all Guardians who participated in the Guardian Games 2022 will receive the emblem as compensation for this escapade.
Bungie has previously created emblems for many significant events, such as with the Prometheus Lens, which remain as reminders in the collections of the Guardians. It remains to be seen what Bungie will do in this case.
What do you think about such cheating? Do you think it’s crazy that players find tricks just for an emblem to secure more points? Would you also do the trick or prefer to earn the emblem honestly? Let us know in the comments!
