Ubisoft has announced an update to the anti-cheat system in Rainbow Six Siege aimed at strengthening the fight against game rule violators. Thanks to the new changes, players found guilty of botting or using other prohibited programs will receive an immediate and permanent ban, as well as be excluded from current matches. These measures are aimed at improving the gaming experience for all users.

Details of the update

Permanent ban for botting from the first offense:

• Ubisoft has decided to increase sanctions for botting. Players found guilty of botting will now receive a permanent ban on the first offense, instead of the previous 15-day ban.
• This was made possible by an improved detection system that minimizes the number of false positives.

Automatic match cancellation:

• All games where cheaters are detected are now automatically canceled. Players caught in such matches will not lose their achievements or rating points.

Enhanced security:

• The update includes improvements to the encryption and security system. As in previous versions (4.0, 4.1, 4.1.1), the new measures are aimed at combating the most common cheat programs.

Community reaction

Players are actively discussing the innovations on forums and social networks. Some users note the improvement of the gameplay and a decrease in the number of cheaters:

• @TonyHiimself: “Should I go back to Rainbow? With this anti-cheat system, someone can tell me yes!”
• @KingGeorge: “The number of cheaters has decreased significantly. Thanks for the great work!”

However, some players are concerned about possible false bans and insufficient coverage of certain issues, such as the use of Cronus/strikepack on consoles.

Ubisoft emphasizes that this is only the first step in a long-term strategy to combat cheaters. The company plans to introduce new updates to further improve the gaming experience.

Players are advised to follow the rules of the game and report any suspicious activity through official channels. This will help make Rainbow Six Siege an even safer and fairer platform for competition.
