Bungie Says Human Error with New Cheat Detection Led to Destiny 2 Bans

Bungie reports to users that a newly implemented cheat detection system has resulted in a series of unwarranted bans for players in Destiny 2 this week. According to the announcement, it would appear that the cause of these players being banned from Destiny 2 are the result of human error that accidentally flagged several accounts.

This announcement comes after a week of players reporting being wrongly banned on Destiny 2, with several having their accounts restored after going online to report the false ban. Some players still report that they are being denied access to the game, although Bungie has stated that the faulty cheat detection has been removed until further notice.

This likely means that a common item or an interaction with one of Destiny 2's newer activities was flagged as an indicator for cheating, and innocent players unknowingly triggered that flag throughout the week.

At the time of this writing, there isn't much information to go on, with most fans left to only speculate on what part of Destiny 2 was being flagged with this new cheat detection. However, Bungie has announced that there will be more information to come in the next This Week at Bungie blog post that the developer uses to regularly update players every Thursday. Additionally, the new cheat detection is gone,
