To play Destiny 2, BattlEye will automatically install when Destiny 2 receives an update and will be active on a player's computer when Destiny 2 is running. Players must allow BattlEye to be installed if they want to play Destiny 2.

BattlEye is an anti-cheat system, protecting our games and their players from hacking, cheating, and other forms of attacks breaching our Code of Conduct. BattlEye is automatically installed with any Ubisoft game requiring it, and will only be active when playing your game.

About. BattlEye is the anti cheat used by Rainbow Six Siege and many other games. It is a considered an intrusive anti-cheat but this is not a bad thing. An intrusive anti-cheat means it constantly scanning the player file system.

The call stack provides a history of function calls that led to the current point of execution. By analyzing these, BattlEye can identify suspicious or anomalous sequences of function calls indicative of cheat behavior, such as injecting code into the game process or manipulating game data.

The only reason BattlEye would block the Destiny2.exe is if YOU have altered it in some way.

The era of massive years of Destiny 2 content is ending. The game itself is not, even as some in the community are acting like the group playing the violin as the Titanic sank.

Easy Anti-Cheat™ is the industry-leading anti-cheat service, countering hacking and cheating in multiplayer PC games through the use of hybrid anti-cheat mechanisms.

You can use a VM or hypervisor to dump the Battleye module and reverse engineer it, keep in mind BE does have some emulation detection.

When Rainbow Six Siege is running, BattlEye is able to scan all memory (RAM) and all game- and system-related files on disk. However, this does not mean that BattlEye is looking through your personal files, personal details, or other such information.

While BattlEye needs to have full access to your system's internals to have the capability to detect all hacks, we do not look at, check, transmit or even sell any of your personal information, data, documents, credit card details, passwords or similar.

Why is BattlEye so good? ›

BattlEye is the gold standard of anti-cheat services because: We relentlessly hunt down any hacks, not stopping until they have been dealt with.

BattlEye is a proprietary anti-cheat software designed to detect players that hack or abusively use exploits in an online game.

BattlEye (BE) was founded by Bastian Suter in October 2004.

BattlEye describes itself as a “proactive protection system which puts a strong shield around the entire game” And follows on to say: “Most hacking is completely blocked to begin with. This system is constantly evolving to cover new forms of attacking games.

No details about your ban (including evidence) will be revealed. Hackers would love to have access to this information and therefore we cannot disclose that. If you cheated you will have to live with the consequences. Global bans are permanent and no exceptions will be made.

This can happen if the server's or your connection times out for quite a while or breaks up completely. A common solution is to update your modem/router's firmware. Also, make sure that you aren't running “Cucusoft Net Guard” which is incompatible with BE.

VAC Ban can happen only with games supporting VAC. Game ban can happen to any game telling Steam you was using a cheat, or tools to make cheat. As Destiny 2 has it's own anti-cheat, they don't rely on VAC.

To explain, with the launch of Destiny 2: Beyond Light in November 2020, Bungie introduced “weapon sunsetting.” The weapons themselves weren't removed, but a player's ability to “infuse” (power them up) certain weapons was removed.

Bungie reserves the right to permanently ban Destiny accounts or player hardware that have been confirmed as repeat offenders. Activity bans or restrictions may be escalated to device bans after multiple confirmed offenses.
