Destiny 2 players have found a new way to game Bungie's weekly Trials of Osiris tournament to snag all of its loot for little effort. As you'd expect, though, Bungie has moved swiftly moved to disable the competitive PvP mode as word of the match-fixing tactic began to spread.
Things kicked off when a community-run statistics service called Trials Report noted that close to 50% of PC players managed to go flawless over the past weekend. That is, to put it mildly, much higher than usual. Weirdly, though, the team found that 23,661 flawless PC players at that moment in time had done so with zero kills, with 16,300 doing so with five or less.
The tweet spurred content creator Lunarated to discuss some findings he dug up. He explains that Destiny 2 players in the mainland China and Hong Kong region are playing under a gentleman's agreement that stems from using the Hakke emblem. Essentially, if you put together a team with two people using the Hakke emblem and one person who isn't, you're signalling to the other team that you're up for gambling the victory. If the opposite team also has the same setup, then the two people without the Hakke emblem add each other and use a random number generator in Steam's chat function to see who will throw the match.
