Over the holiday break I had some time to play Siege more than my typical amount. But even in the normal times I played I noticed a metric butt-ton of cheating going on. Recoil scripts are running rampant in particular. People are tracking targets while unloading entire clips with no vertical recoil even with machine gun pistols that are supposed to have huge amounts of recoil. And they aren't just doing it at short ranges where it could just be passed off as a lucky hit-reg thing. They're doing it from 30-50 yards away with weapons that should be bouncing the entire screen from across a room. And this isn't a rare event. Pretty much every round I've played for the past 2-3 weeks seems to have at least 2 or 3 players who are somehow magically able to fire on full automatic while running full speed without so much as a pixel of recoil.

It would be nice of Ubi finally got serious about this problem rather than just ignoring it. If we - as players - can 'tell' someone is cheating then there are statistical and data-driven ways that Ubi can detect these cheats as well. Instead of wasting valuable programming time on pink unicorn hats or another boring shipping-container map remake, how about doing the game a real solid and working on your cheating problem?

Hi Riddler,

Thank you for taking the time to describe your Siege experience over the holiday. Coming across people who cheat is never fun, and it's something our teams don't want the community experiencing while playing. Do you have any kind of visual evidence of this? The reason I ask is because things like this make it just a bit easier for our team to understand what's going on.

I just alerted the team about this and the link that was provided. Thanks folks!

Recoil is used for balancing purposes, and on console, they're completely getting around that with these cheat devices with mods.
Can you elaborate on what that is exactly? I've never heard of it.

And the same happens with the damn toxicity in this game. The game would be so good if they just would take care about the cheats and the toxicity.

UBI should get their asses up quick or R6 will die soon. I know so much people who just moved on to COD:MW and since this they never ever played a single match of R6 again.
When it comes to cheaters, we encourage our community to speak with us about it here, Steam, Twitter, our other social platforms, and report these actions in-game and to Support. The fact cheating is something our players deal with is incredibly frustrating, and we've seen first-hand how much encountering cheaters can have a negative effect on your time in the game. By all means, keep telling us about it so myself, UbiMorning, and UbiFate can alert the appropriate teams for investigation.
