Ubisoft has given the details to their next update for Rainbow Six Siege. Harsher punishments are going to be handed out to players who kill their teammates. Team killing isn’t an issue specific to Rainbow Six Siege, but it’s nice to see a company punishing players for it.
After the update is released, if a player repeatedly kills teammates, they will be banned from matchmaking. The following are the consequences per offence:
- 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.
“Duration of a suspension will be decided at Ubisoft’s discretion, on a case by case basis,” the developer adds. “After multiple offenses, the player may receive up to a permanent ban. Actual disciplinary action may differ from the list of examples depending on the severity of the behavior and, again, shall be decided at Ubisoft’s discretion, on a case by case basis.” So, it appears Ubisoft will have people actually looking into repeated cases of team killing. Ubisoft is taking a firm stance on this matter.
The new update will also fix Pulse, by increasing the visibility he gets from his gadget, and it will also take care of a number of other small bugs. Rainbow Six Siege is available for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
