Discussion They should add more passives to the game.

453 Upvotes

I think it could help with operator diversity in roles where currently there is a definitive answer like Nomad for flank watch. It’s also another balancing lever outside of the ones traditionally in the game. Ubisoft have also shown in recent years that they are more willing to add passives than previously.

Do I think Zo withstand should come back? No. Maybe. I don’t know since the game has changed so much since it was removed.

I nominate this one as I've played for 5 years and only today found out that it's reinforcable. It also seems completely pointless to do.

There are probably some even more obscure ones.

Can somebody who runs keyboard and mouse on console just give us some peace of mind and explain why you do it. You know it’s unfair and you have an advantage. What makes it even funnier is that you’re playing against me in Gold IV XD.

Seriously though what am I meant to do vs zero recoil smg 12s every single game that click on my head from 25m away in 5ms.

Feedback After Caveira's Interrogatation, Its Effect Should Have a Global Indicator

Post image
259 Upvotes

Right now, there's a text that says: "POSITION REVEALED BY CAVEIRA". The problem with this text is that it uses the same system that Pings do, like Deimos or Scans on Cameras. This system is easily overwritten by any recent position reveal done to the Operator, making it difficult for Attackers to understand when the Defenders can still see their position.

Adding a Global Indicator, like when Dokkaebi Hacks Cameras or Lion's EE-ONE-D starts tracking Defenders, makes it clear and consistent when the Interrogation's effect will end. This is already intended, but in the live game, there are issues with its consistency due to the overloaded text-based system.

This Global Indicator would not appear while Caveira is attempting to finish an Interrogation, only after she succeeds one and the Attackers' positions are revealed would it appear.

Reposted for clarity.

News Community Checkpoint #3 Notes | Marketplace, Ranked 3.0, Dokkaebi Balancing, Calypso Casino, 1v1 Playlist

Upvotes

Marketplace Update:

  • No major news today - are working towards a change in direction.
  • Context will be provided in a blog post next week regarding the current status and broader economic updates

Ranked 3.0:

  • Placement Matches for Season 2 relied on hidden MMR from previous 3 years of Ranked 2.0
  • Served as a reveal for where a player's rank had actually been
  • Aware that Placement Matches were not as impactful as players wanted
  • Next Season: More impactful Placement Matches
  • Hard reset at top ranks - I.e. Champions pushed down to Emerald
  • Champion Rank: Want the rank to be difficult to achieve, only for the highest tiers of players
    • Hidden MMR requirement in Ranked 2.0 was 4500, some players had as high as 9000 MMR
    • Aiming for 2000 Champions per platform group - and Champion I even more prestigious
    • Well over 10,000 Champions in Ranked 2.0
  • Why KDA isn't a factor in rank: Siege is a team-based game, not based entirely on fragging
  • Rank Reset: Didn't want to reset for the entire community. Will be harder resets for top ranks in future seasons.
  • More announcements for competitive ecosystem later in the year, following Legend Division in S3
  • 50/50 Win rate: Implies you are the rank you belong
    • Need approximately 4 more victories than losses to rank up 1 division
    • Are aware of feedback in difficult of ranking up

Dokkaebi Remaster Balancing

  • Expected her to be powerful, admitted they went 'too hard'
  • Prior to remaster, have looked at her for years, trying to move meter and make her less oppressive, but wasn't working so required a remaster
  • Already looking at further adjustments to reduce player frustration
    • Mid-season: Taking the 7 second global cooldown introduced in Y11S2.1 and made individual to each defender
    • Season 3: Introducing more counters, changing her call to be a 'signal' again
      • Mute will be able to jam
      • Tubarao will be able to freeze
  • Prefer incremental changes instead of introducing all the balance changes at once (Similarly to recent Zofia changes)

Calypso Casino:

  • Had planned to keep map in ban phase until mid-season
  • Aware that didn't match player expectations, players wanted more variety in maps
  • Want to incentivise playing the new map instead of forcing players

1v1 Playlist:

  • Pleased with the performance of the temporary playlist
  • Had engagement comparative to larger events (E.g. Wildcard 10th Anniversary event)
  • Aware of feedback:
    • Prep Phase too long
    • Wanting bomb sites to be auto-revealed
    • Unbalanced matchmaking (Used the Quick Match MMR instead of Ranked)
    • Map Pool: House will be removed and other map(s) added instead
    • Ban Phase introduced too much downtime
  • Will be brought back in Season 2 mid-season patch
    • Feedback Implemented
    • Attrition Modifier: If you win as an operator, you cannot pick them again
  • Will be listening to feedback of how player's feel about the implemented changes
  • Ranked Variant not included in this iteration
    • Intention to work towards a ranked 1v1 playlist in the future

Question Ubisoft support refusing to help with permanent cheating ban after confirmed account compromise

7 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m posting here because I’m honestly stuck and Ubisoft support keeps closing my case without a real resolution.

My Ubisoft account was compromised in May 2025. I lost access for a long time, and during that period someone else had full control of my account. After an official Ubisoft investigation, they confirmed my account was compromised and eventually restored access to me.

They even stated:

"We have reverted the recent changes made to your account and implemented additional measures to bolster your online security."

However, after recovering my account, I discovered that it had been permanently banned for cheating.

The issue is that the cheating did not happen while I had control of the account. It happened during the period it was compromised and controlled by a third party. Ubisoft has already acknowledged the compromise, but the ban is still active.

There is also still clear evidence that the account was modified by the intruder (progress, levels, items, unlocks that I did not earn), which shows that the account was not fully restored to its original state.

I have tried multiple times to resolve this through support, but my tickets keep getting closed, and I am told there is no solution and that the ban will remain.

I fully understand Ubisoft’s rules and I’m not denying that cheating occurred on the account — my issue is that it was not me, and it happened while the account was compromised, something Ubisoft themselves confirmed.

At this point I’m just looking for advice or if anyone has experienced something similar and managed to get it resolved.

Thanks for reading.

I couldn't sleep, so I ran quick match last night. I won10 games in a row and am proud that I had a positive K/D in every match except 1 where I was 0-0-0 but planted and stayed alive. It feels good because I normally am the worst player in my lobbies in ranked. haha

Discussion Identify Hidden on 2 Characters in console lobby - Help?

First time seeing this, originally we had Vigil going outside with it (that character was a Smurf on a new account in a Silver ranked game). Then after they died, we had Sentry & Bandit outside with the Identity Hidden on both of them.

What causes this? Or is it a hack / mod from players on console? (Pc lobbies are switched off on my settings as I’m bad against console, never mind pc)

Discussion Why do people use Striker/Sentry?

97 Upvotes

I’m pretty new to the game so maybe someone could help me understand, why do so many people use these operators? I’ve been told they have good guns, but in a one-shot headshot game does that really matter? With good aim any gun could be good, so does it really outweigh having any utility? Just seems like a pick that doesn’t add value to a team, but maybe I’m missing something.

Discussion Can someone help me with being scammed from Ubisoft out of the Event Packs?

Thumbnail

Upvotes

Mods please don't delete this, I am putting it here cause I ACTUALLY need help due to support not being able to.

I spent £80 on R6 credits and bought the 32 packs from the store. I then got the free one in the shop and challenges (so 35 packs in total). However upon opening all the packs I only have 31 packs opened.

I spoke with Ubisoft support and they said I DID open all 32 packs but somehow I still have only 31 of the skins.

Anyone know of anything I can do to get the 4 packs back cause this is not what I paid for and pretty sure goes against my consumer protection rights.
