Rainbow 6 Siege finally acknowledges the players' frustrations against cheating. As cheaters are evolving and becoming more cunning, so the Strike Team was created to combat this and bring order.

Cheating has always been a problem in multiplayer games as it practically ruins the gaming experience for everyone involved. Rainbow 6 Siege is no exception to this. While this action-packed title by Ubisoft has always dealt with cheaters accordingly, recently things took a turn for the worst.

The thing with cheaters is that they are always coming up with more advanced and innovative ways to exploit and abuse games. This makes the fight against cheaters a never-ending one.

So in their relentless endeavor to fight off cheaters, Ubisoft has released Anti-cheat measures with their latest patch Y8S4.3.

What are all the Anti-Cheat measures implemented by Rainbow 6 Siege?

Rainbow 6 Siege addressed a substantial number of cheats over the last few months with their  Y8S4.3 update. Here are the cheats and exploits that were stopped in their tracks:

  • Drone-related cheats
  • Griefing cheats
  • Navigation cheats
  • Shooting and Aiming cheats

To make their anti-cheat measures super effective, Rainbow 6 Siege has 3 main methods:

BattlEye:

This is the system that makes up for most of the bans Rainbow 6 makes. And it is never turned off and it is designed to stay active at all times. It remains vigilant in the background detecting even minor details.

Rainbow 6 Siege reportedly banned about 10,000 accounts in 2024

In an attempt to further trick the cheaters, Rainbox 6 Siege mentioned in-game that BattlEye has been removed which however is a lie but a clever way to make the cheaters drop their guard and slip up.

MouseTrap:

Moustrap's job is simple:

  • Find cheaters
  • Track them
  • Penalize them

There are a substantial number of console players who use a mouse and keyboard by means of spoofing. That is why MouseTrap was updated. This update makes MouseTrap more optimized and enables it to detect cheaters more effectively.

QB System:

The primary function of the QB System is to make the lives of cheat creators difficult. It does so by making this difficult, tedious, and more costly for cheat creators and sellers. Thus it makes the entire business of creating and selling cheats not worth the hassle.

On top of this, it can also detect anyone who attempts to bypass it by always staying active and vigilant in the background.

Even though Rainbow 6 Siege and its developers have updated their preventive measures, it is not a permanent solution as the war with cheaters is one without an end. So developers need to be aware and careful at all times.
