Summary
Ubisoft has shared a promising update on its ongoing efforts to combat cheats and toxicity inTom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege. The company previously acknowledged that these issues intensified duringRainbow Six Siege’s ninth year.
In February, Ubisoft assured theRainbow Six Siegecommunity that it would reinforce thepopular and beloved tactical shooter’s player protection systems. Highlighted by the media giant at the time were improved ban enforcement and technologies like MouseTrap, a solution for consoles that detects mouse and keyboard use. Ubisoft has now provided a new report on how its anti-cheat and anti-toxicity systems inRainbow Six Siegehave performed recently.
While cheating continues to affect players with high ranks, the issue subsided following the launch of Y9S3,Rainbow Six Siege’s latest season, in September, Ubisoft said in its latest Player Protection Update. Cheats were down for nearly an entire week after the season started and there was also a sharp drop in cheater reports from players during this period, according to the post. Moreover, Ubisoft noted that Mousetrap saw an increase in detection performance and a decrease in false positives thanks to a recently released update. The company added that overall bans in the previous season peaked at more than 11,000 before tapering off to a little below 9,500 by the time Y9S3 launched.

Ubisoft is currently trying to complete MouseTrap tests for devices that have yet to be recognized by the system. The company is also working on the release ofPC and console crossplayinRainbow Six Siegefor next season, as well as this feature’s particular implementation of MouseTrap. Meanwhile, a new version of the custom-built QB System, a technology designed to make the creation of cheats more difficult, is being trialed by the development team.
A reworked reputation system is set to be implemented inRainbow Six Siegewhen Y9S4 goes live sometime in December, alongside automated text chat moderation. The former will take into account both positive and negative player ratings, reports, penalties, and even communication-related actions, among other things.
Rainbow Six Siege’s latest Player Protection Update comes just days after the title received patch Y9S3.3 on October 22. This small patch made changes to Iana, Jackal, Kali, Mozzie, Zero, and Zofia. It also tweaked the bullet parameters of Kali’s CSRX-300 and delivered a list of bug fixes, including one that affected Skopos,Rainbow Six Siege’s newest operator. The next season ofTom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siegewill not feature a new operator, but it will rework one of the American characters.
