Almost every PC shooter will have a lot of self-aiming, perspective plug-ins, and even violent hangings that kill the whole world. In the "PUBG" that exploded in the past few years, there was even a scene of "Immortal Fighting Method", and all kinds of fancy plug-ins appeared in an endless stream. Therefore, how to block plug-in cheating has always been a problem that all FPS game developers try to solve, and the tactical competitive shooting "Rainbow Six: Siege" is no exception, and recently Ubisoft has released anti-cheat report results, with a total of more than 166,000 plug-in accounts officially blocked. Let's take a look!
This statistic is calculated from August 2020 to January 2022 by BattlEye and background data blocked numbers, official and supplemented from November last year to January this year, an additional 3,114 character accounts that have used plug-ins have been blocked. It is worth noting that Ubisoft emphasized in Twitter to update the anti-cheat system to catch those plug-ins that cheat through system vulnerabilities, which are mainly specially designed to "kill all players in the lobby at the opening moment", "use drones to make the battle crash", "use drones to cause melee damage" and other behaviors.
At the same time, the R6 team also announced that it has worked with a third-party team to develop a new telephone verification system and encourage players to continue to report cheating plug-ins, including providing obvious video or screenshot evidence.
Since the launch of Rainbow Six: Siege in 2015, according to Steam data, the number of players has reached a peak of an average of more than 100,000 players in March 2020, but the problem of plug-in cheating has also been plaguing the player community, making anti-cheating the top priority of the current official team.
