Rainbow Six Siege ban wave shuts down over 4000 accounts in 48 hours

A massive Rainbow Six Siege ban wave took place recently, resulting in over 4000 accounts being shut down in 48 hours. While this is not a new phenomenon in R6, it caught the community by surprise. A recent X post from @statsdotcc unveiled this ban, claiming it as an all-time high for this year.

These bans included cross-progression accounts, signifying that if a player gets a ban on his PC account, he can't even play the game on his Xbox or PlayStation account. With that in mind, this article further discusses the ban phases.

BattlEye bans over 4000 accounts as a part of the Rainbow Six Siege ban wave

As discussed earlier, @statdotcc revealed statistics showing that BattlEye anti-cheat banned over 4000 accounts in the last 48 hours as a part of the Rainbow Six Siege ban wave, making it the highest number of bans in such a small span for this year. However, netizens have shown that the ban numbers were inflated due to the implementation of the cross-progression ban.

Among the 4000 accounts, several players owned multiple accounts due to cross-progression account bans. There are a plethora of reasons that get players banned in R6: Breaching of CoC (Code of Conduct), using any kind of third-party application, like cheating software, using any exploit during the game, and many more.

However, this isn’t the first time the Rainbow Six Siege community has seen a massive ban wave. In February 2023, BattlEye banned several players for using exploits like Ddos and duping. This shows how much the developers care about the goodwill of the game and enhance the player experience by eliminating potential glitches.
