Ubisoft has released the R6 Shieldguard Security Update for Rainbow Six Siege, significantly strengthening the anti-cheat system. The update has already been deployed on all platforms - PC, PlayStation, Xbox - without any downtime, but the community is actively discussing its impact on the game. The update was a response to numerous complaints from players about cheaters who spoiled the gameplay.

This news is attracting attention due to the scale of changes in the security system and their potential impact on the game's stability. Ubisoft promises to drastically reduce the number of offenders, but will the updated anti-cheat be able to cope with increasingly sophisticated fraud methods?

Details of the anti-cheat system update

R6 Shieldguard Security Update is a comprehensive update that includes several key changes. Ubisoft fixed critical vulnerabilities in the game code that allowed unauthorized access to systems. It also updated data encryption to make hacking more difficult, and introduced new mechanisms for detecting tampering, including real-time monitoring of changes in game files. The anti-cheat now analyzes player behavior, detecting anomalies such as unusually high shooting accuracy or reaction time. The rollout went off without a hitch, but some users, like @silentmode, have reported crashes or friezes after the update. Ubisoft is already working on fixes, promising stability in upcoming patches.

The fight against cheaters is gaining momentum

Ubisoft has been fighting cheating in R6 for a long time. Recently, on May 7, 2025, the company banned 1200 players for using exploits between March 6 and April 30. For more information, please follow the link.
