Ubisoft have battled mouse and keyboard users on the console version of Rainbow Six Siege since the very release of the game.
At the start of 2023, they have finally come up with a solution that they called Mouse Trap and it has yielded results right away.
Naturally, players who wanted to fly under the radar of Mouse Trap have looked for alternatives or loopholes in the system. This is where XIM came into play, literally.
XIM is a multi-input adapter that allows players to connect mice and keyboards to their consoles and with that allows them to gain the competitive edge over players using a controller.
While the adapter was not originally created to help players get an unfair advantage, Mouse Trap was quick to send out warnings to all of the players who were detected using it.
In the July Player Protection Update (which can be found here), Ubisoft have mentioned that since the launch of Mouse Trap, there had been a 73% decrease in spoofer presence. They have also mentioned that the spoofers were not banned but simply warned.
So why did they opt for warnings instead of bans? Ubisoft have answered this question by saying that most players who get a warning tend to fix their behaviour and avoid any future sanctions.
Similar methods have been used to fight toxic voice and chat users and over half of those who had gotten some sort of warning or penalty have been discouraged from any future offenses.
