In addition to the R6 Siege Snowball Fight coming tomorrow, the devs have also made announcements regarding Rainbow Six Siege anti-cheat measures! Moving forward, players can expect dev updates every 1.5 months, and the first major move for anti-cheat is incoming this Feb. 10, 2022!
Beginning with data, this graph groups together BattlEye’s bans and our own sanctions based on data.

One thing to keep in mind is that the code Siege is built on is quite old, so a solid amount of Anti-Cheat is focused on updating this old code.
