Report Suspected Cheating and Poor Behavior – Bungie Account, Safety, and Security Center

This article outlines the process for reporting suspected cheating and other poor player behavior.

Bungie takes the reports of suspected cheating very seriously. We use these reports and our own tools to investigate players who may be manipulating network connections and other forms of cheating or violations of Bungie's Code of Conduct and Terms of Use. See below for more information about reporting suspected cheating and other forms of poor player behavior.

PLEASE NOTE!

Posting the names of players on our forums you suspect to be cheating is a violation of our Code of Conduct and may result in a forum ban. We do not want a witch hunt in case they're innocent, and our Security Team does not monitor our forums in any capacity. Players should use the contact form below to report any suspected cheating.

What Qualifies as Cheating?

For more information on what Bungie considers when investigating reports of cheating, see our Bungie Game Account Restrictions and Banning Policies article.

Report Suspected Cheating Contact Form

The most effective way to report a player is through the in-game system as outlined in the "Report a Player" sections. However, players who are unable to submit a report through the in-game system may fill out the Report Player Contact Form with the requested information.

Please be aware of the following prior to submitting a Contact Form:

If you are not confident that a player was cheating, do not use this form.
Many things that may appear to involve cheating can be explained by other things, such as unintentional poor internet connectivity.
Abuse of this contact form, including fraudulent reports and submissions unrelated to cheating, may result in a restriction or ban on your account.
All contact forms submissions are used for data collection purposes and to investigate potential player-facing issues. The form submissions are automatically sorted and are not guaranteed to be read or responded to by a Bungie employee.

The following items can be beneficial to investigations. Please provide them if you are able to:

Post-Game Carnage Report (PGCR)
Links to videos or screenshots of game-play that showcase cheating
Other evidence that would indicate that a player is cheating
