Is this a PC issue? Am on ps4 and have never experienced any cheating. Is it a glory rank issue (I hang around the 2000 to 3000 range)? Or is this just people not willing to accept someone is better than them?

if you want to take care of cheaters how about you block not just the name, but the console too. If mommy had to buy another console the shit would stop.

This happened to me the other day and no its not my connection. I recorded a short vid for myself to review a match. It clearly showed a person LS and teleported alot to avoid shots or melee and the rest of the players that move around in that same match were normal. That one person didn't take damage either. All the other players I can kill were normal. That one player had super high score on the scoreboard at end of match. It was definitely a tell-tell sign of a cheater.

I cant even tell if its cheating or a glitch anymore. Yesterday i had the same shotgun problem. Got the guy twice with my shotgun and then a warlock melee and he still had his shields. Then later had no problem killing him. I could reduce it down to lag but BOTH my shots registered they just did almost no damage from point blank range

Totally agreed. Unfortunately, without dedicated servers, this game will always be vulnerable to lagswitching, drophacking, and DDoSing. So if you want a Crucible experience with less cheating, you'll probably have to go with the Google Stadia version until Microsoft and Sony push Bungie to also put D2 on Microsoft Azure cloud servers. [quote][b] "The privacy flaw A fundamental flaw of any peer-to-peer network model is that it reveals your IP address to every player you meet in PvE or PvP. When we have a look at the connections Destiny 2 established in one of my 4v4 Crucible matches, we can see three Bungie servers located in the USA, one Limelight Server located in the UK, one Blizzard Server located in the UK and the other seven players located in France, Germany and Turkey. Peer-to-peer IPs By revealing the IP address of these players, the game makes it very easy to find out the country and city/town where they live. So, I can then block or throttle the traffic between my client and theirs, or I could launch a DDOS attack to affect their online experience—something streamers have to deal with on a regular basis, and has resulted in persistent problems with the relatively high stakes PvP mode Trials of the Nine. Bungie issued a swathe of two-week bans to DDOSers recently, but the attacks keep coming. Security and hacking "Never trust the client" is a saying you'll hear often from developers who work on multiplayer games. When you let the client take care of sensitive tasks like hit registration, then this makes it a lot harder to protect your game from hacks. Bungie faces this problem with the peer-to-peer network model in Destiny 2. To shield the game from hacks on PC, Bungie is preventing applications from injecting code into the game. The downside of this measure is that this also blocks any and all applications that provide an in-game overlay like MSI Afterburner, RTSS or Discord. It also blocks apps used for streaming or gameplay recording like DxTory, and OBS when you try to use the game capture mode. Despite these efforts, which harm legitimate players, hacks still exist for Destiny 2."[/b][/quote] https://www.pcgamer.com/the-strange-science-of-destiny-2s-uniquely-complicated-netcode/

Stop using McDonald's wifi?

Bungie encourages it. https://www.bungie.net/en/Forums/Post/253258717?sort=0&page=0 because Bungie does nothing about it.
