Rainbow Six Siege's Next Season Adds Kernel-Level Anti-Cheat and a Free Alpha Pack for 2FA

At its August 7 Community Checkpoint, Ubisoft detailed the anti-cheat coming in Siege's next season, Legend Division. The headline is R6 Shieldguard, a kernel-level anti-cheat (software that runs deep in the operating system to catch cheats) that Ubisoft calls its biggest since launch and plans to share across its games. Legend Division will also require two-step verification through an authenticator app to play, and anyone who enables it gets a free Alpha Pack, Siege's cosmetic loot box. Ubisoft is also targeting console players who spoof mouse and keyboard input.
