Rainbow Six Siege team killers could be permanently banned from the game if they continue to offend, Ubisoft has warned.
A new system dealing with the issue is due to be introduced as part of a major new patch rolling out this Wednesday, July 13, with bans of increasing severity rolling out to repeat offenders.
- First offense: Casual – Kicked from match; Ranked – Banned for 15 minutes, 50% renown penalty for 30 minutes
- Second offense: Banned from Matchmaking for 30 minutes
- Third offense: Banned from Matchmaking for 2 hours
- Fourth offense: Banned from Matchmaking for 24 hours
- Fifth offense: Banned from Matchmaking for 7 days
Ubisoft has faced issues with team killers disrupting matches since Rainbow Six Siege’s launch in December. The publisher had previously dealt with offending players by automatically kicking those it detected were team killing.
“If a player repeatedly team kills, they will temporarily be banned from matchmaking,” Ubisoft now says. “After multiple offenses, a permanent ban may be issued to the offending player’s account.”
Alongside the new rules on team killing, this week’s patch introduces a major overhaul for Pulse’s heartbeat scanner. For the first look, head through to Ubisoft’s forums.
