Destiny 2 is cracking down on Cronus and XIM cheating

Destiny 2

What you need to know

  • Destiny 2 developer Bungie has announced its intention to crack down on players using third-party devices like XIM and Cronus to cheat in-game.
  • XIMs can be used to use mouse and keyboard with controller aim assist against controller players on console, while Cronus' can be used to execute gameplay-altering scripts that reduce recoil, boost aim assist, and more.
  • Bungie says that using third-party devices for accessibility purposes (hardware like the Xbox Accessibility Controller or Sony's Project Leonardo, for example) is fine, but players found to be using devices like XIMs and Cronus' to gain an advantage will be warned or even banned.
  • The studio is evaluating all gameplay for violations, including both PvP and PvE content.
