Players can no longer use cheats on "Rainbow Six Siege" upon update on the latest patch 1.3. The said update brings a strict countermeasure on cheaters, Kotaku reported.

"We cannot disclose too much about the current anti-cheat solution (Fairfight), but we can confirm that we are satisfied with it," Ubisoft representative wrote, cited by Kotaku.

In a statement published by Ubisoft, the company stated that the three day ban for first offense has been removed. Thus, all cheaters detected by the system will be permanently banned.
