Ring-1, a major cheat provider for Destiny 2, is shutting down support for the game’s cheat software, following legal pressure from Bungie.

Bungie has long been known for its strong stance against cheating in Destiny 2. From AimJunkies to Lavicheats, Bungie has successfully pursued legal action, securing millions in damages from cheat developers who undermine the game’s integrity.

In one notable case, the Destiny developer won $12 million against the creator of VeteranCheats for distributing software that allowed players to exploit the game. Now, another big name is stepping back—Ring-1, a well-known cheat provider, has announced it will no longer support its cheats for Destiny 2.

This follows a joint lawsuit from Bungie and Ubisoft, which targeted Ring-1 for both Destiny 2 and Rainbow Six Siege cheats, seeking $2.2 million in damages.

Earlier today, the cheat developer Ring-1 announced that it has made the decision to “discontinue support for our Destiny 2 cheats.” The official statement was shared in Ring-1’s Telegram group, which can be viewed below.

“We have made the decision to discontinue support for our Destiny 2 cheats Cheat is still updated and available for use with your current subscription, once your subscription expires, you will no longer be able to renew it.

“For most users, the cheat has been working smoothly. However, for those experiencing crashes, we’ve observed that persistence—whether by repeatedly attempting to run the cheat or by changing your Windows version—can often resolve the issue.”

This means users can still access the Destiny 2 cheats until their current subscriptions expire but can no longer renew them. Along with halting future support, Ring-1 has also removed the option to purchase Destiny 2 cheats from its official website.

It’s unclear whether Ring-1’s decision to shut down its Destiny 2 cheats is directly due to the lawsuit from Bungie and Ubisoft or if other factors are at play.

Bungie’s ongoing efforts to protect its game, including heavy legal actions and a $2 million investment in the game’s security, continue to pay off.
