Ubisoft is Cracking Down on Rainbow Six Siege Cheaters with New Rules

Ubisoft has shared news about the progress in combating cheats in Rainbow Six Siege. In a post on their social media platforms, they mentioned that it’s becoming increasingly challenging for cheaters and harmful players who aim to disrupt the enjoyable experience of the tactical first-person shooter game.

Most of the changes are live now and are being witnessed first-hand by streamers and pro players.

Getting Stricter

According to the latest announcement by Ubisoft, they’re implementing significant modifications to the anti-cheat system in Rainbow Six Siege. Specifically, these adjustments focus on three main areas.

Botting: Permanent Ban on First Offence

We’ve taken your suggestions seriously and are making significant changes to our player punishment policies regarding botting. From now on, a first-time offense of botting will result in a permanent ban, as opposed to the previous policy of a 15-day ban followed by a permanent ban on the second offense. This tougher approach is made possible by our enhanced detection system that significantly reduces false positives.

Cheater Match Cancellation and Live Kick

Currently, if a player is caught cheating according to our system’s rules, they will be immediately disconnected from their current game, and the game will automatically end.

This was captured first-hand by a popular streamer:

Apparently, Rainbow6Game doesn’t play around when it comes to cheaters. It swiftly boots them out and immediately ends the game. No one loses any ELO points, and a rollback occurs for everyone who played with the cheater that season. This unexpected move has me incredibly thrilled!
