Hey so I play at a relatively high elo ranking on siege on PS4(plat 1-diamond) so I get queued up with the best of the best pretty much. As Ive grown in elo theres one thing that seems to keep on occurring non stop and that is players using Mouse and Keyboard(MnK) its rare to be in a game where there isnt at least one person using it and you can clearly see theyre using it and dont even hide it. Sadly, this ruins this game so much for me its usually not as big of a deal on other games since there is aim assist on most other games but on Siege there isnt. Luckily, we dont have to deal much with cheaters like pc does but in its own way using MnK on console is cheating since you are at such an advantage over controller users. So, pretty much what Im getting at is there anything you guys plan on doing about this issue on console I love siege its easily the best shooter out there but its so demoralizing just playing non stop MnK users while youre on controller and at such a disadvantage. Is there software you guys plan on implementing to make it so mouse and keyboards dont work for siege on console? Are you going to actually start banning people that do use it or use some software to detect when people are using it and get them banned I know that might be difficult since a vast majority of players play on pc but this is a cry for help from us controller players on console. I usually report anyone that I know is using it but nothing happens. Also, people dont even deny using it anymore so its clear to know when some people use it because they openly admit it. I feel like its just rapidly growing because people are in the mindset if you cant beat it, join it which sucks. Thank you for your time. Please do something about this issue for all of us actual controller players

Hi Th3rst!

Thanks for reaching out about your concerns about Mouse and Keyboard on console.

I appreciate you’re eager to know Ubisoft’s stance on console players using Keyboard and Mouse in-game.

This is a complex topic involving hardware, live services, and security. We are working to deliver a global and reliable solution for detection but do not have more info yet as investigations are ongoing.

Thanks!

I am afraid the information above is the latest we have.

Please do keep an eye out on the official game website and forum for the latest information.

Thanks!

Moving thread to Feedback section as this is something Player Support is unable to assist with, at this moment.

The use of mouse and keyboard in our competitive console games is something we are currently looking into.
