The cheat engine doesn’t only just make opposing players surrender duels. According to this Github.com link, the engine tools also allow players to bot solo duels for experience; instantly win in story mode; set life points to any amount; reveal all cards in decks, field and hand; make the game go faster via a speed hack; get any Royal or Glossy finish card in the game via a card rarity mod; and avoid losses via a disconnect duel function. And yes, there’s more.

Konami, the creator of Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel, has not yet publicly responded to the cheat engine or commented on its impact on the game. Using hacks and exploits, however, does fall against Konami’s terms of service, which means players caught using these cheat engines and exploits are subject to account termination and loss of license by Konami.
Some of the game’s most influential content creators are pleading to developer Konami on social media to look into these incidents, and some players are boycotting playing altogether until the issues are fixed.
