'Modder' tweaks Destiny to feature infinite ammo

4.7
Whether you want to call it a mod, a hack, an exploit or a cheat, the fact remains that the players seen in the videos below the break have found a way to slay moon wizards in Bungie's recently-launched open-universe shooter Destiny with the aid of unending bullets.

Before you get too riled up, know that this stunt does not seem to be very widespread. The comments following each of the below videos lack any sort of information on how to accomplish the feat, and most responses left by the people behind these clips are too busy justifying infinite ammo as anything other than cheating to explain how they made things work. "Since I modified the amount of ammo I have in my clip, it's a mod," wrote impressively self-assured YouTube user 0neThatsExiled in lieu of any word on how the game was "modified."

Happily, since existing examples do not explain how to duplicate this tweak, it's unlikely that you'll encounter the issue within Destiny before the quality assurance team at Bungie has time to obliterate this unintended gameplay issue. Hopefully these self-described modders are enjoying their brief moment of online infamy.

Kohnz really hope this doesnt ruin the game but it is preety cool!


I believe it has already been patched in the recent update, I'm glad that Bungie acts quick on things like this!

Lol, already? That's pretty sad. Game looks dull and boring anyway so it won't affect me. I just find it funny how quickly the games has been modified(or hacked, whatever you want to call it).

That is pretty cool but I hope they don't use this to reck the game like cod.

Dorkus That's freakin awesome, it wouldn't be cool if he did that in multiplayer though.


I'm afraid it is possible in multiplayer as infinite ammo uses a local offset. I know this as I have been using it recently to do missions with friends that are a high level playing on hard difficulty to rank up faster. I don't however use it in multiplayer games, like majority of others I don't want to see this game ruined like the CoD series.

If the game saves character data to the console, then any console can be affected by this. All that is needed is to break save encryption if there is any, then hex said data looking for values that are saved and change them. This happens on alot of games, look at borderlands, it has modded guns and much more.
