Rainbow Six Siege cheaters are in for a rough ride, as developer Ubisoft Montreal has implemented a new system that automatically kicks cheaters from matches and instantly bans them. Previously, players would get a 15-day ban on their first offense, but according to the game’s devs, those days are over.
The new anti-cheat efforts were caught in action during a livestreamed match on popular Rainbow Six Siege content creator JessGOAT’s Twitch channel. In the clip, an obvious cheater is promptly kicked and banned. JessGOAT shared the footage on X (formerly Twitter), and the official Rainbow Six Siege account responded, “Y’all thought we were playin’?”
Ubisoft also shared more details about the game’s new anti-cheat efforts.
“We’ve heard your feedback and are updating our sanctioning systems for players detected for botting,” the developer stated. “Players will now be permanently banned on their first botting offense, rather than an initial 15-day ban followed by a permanent ban on the second offense. This stricter and more aggressive sanctioning has been made possible by an improved detection system that drastically reduces false positives.”
“As of now, cheaters sanctioned by our systems will be kicked from their ongoing match and the match will be automatically cancelled,” the statement continued. “Along with Y9S4.2, we are shipping a new round of hardening and security updates, as we did in each patch (4.0, 4.1, 4.1.1) with major disruption and impact on the most prevalent cheat providers.”
Ubisoft has sued Rainbow Six Siege cheat-makers in the past (and has always taken cheating seriously), but the latest update is arguably the strictest anti-cheat effort the game has ever seen.
