Bungie takes down Destiny 2 cheat PerfectAim

Games studio Bungie has killed off the PerfectAim cheat for its online sci-fi shooter Destiny 2.

As reported by PC Gamer, clicking through to the page for the Destiny 2 hack results in a pop-up that says that the developer has said that PerfectAim violates the game's license agreement and it has issued a cease and desist order against the site over this product.

"We won't comment on whether these claims are justified or not, but have decided to comply with this demand regardless," PerfectAim said in the notice.

"We are sorry for any inconvenience caused to our customers."

PerfectAim sells cheats and hacks for a variety of games including PUBG, Battalion 1944 and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, as well as Battlefield 4 and V. The Destiny 2 package of cheats included an aimbot, wallhacking abilities as well as giving players the power to teleport around the map.

Cheating is a problem that many games are facing. The developer of multiplayer smash hit Among Us, Innersloth, has taken steps to stop bad actors in its game, while Mediatonic has employed Epic's Easy Anti-Cheat software for Fall Guys.
