Rainbow Six Siege’s community has seen its fair share of hacks since Ubisoft released it back in 2015. However, this one goes beyond the typical aimbot or wallhack you may have fallen victim to. Apparently, aRainbow Six Siegeoperator switch hackis a thing, allowing the opposing team to switch your operator after it has been chosen.
This comes from aTwitter post from CroatianRainbow Six Siegeplayer Lakii. As seen in the video, Lakii initially picks Caveria. At the Ready screen, a user by the name of “LOLXDFUNNYMEME” gets in chat and simply says, “wait,” to the Croatian player. Lakii responds by saying, “what.” Right after the response, the screen fades and Lakii’s operator changes to Bandit. LOLXDFUNNYMEME then ends the conversation by saying, “you play bandit now.”
Lakii hadanother encounterwith the same player in Ranked and asked, “what skin am i getting.” The player responded, “dev,” giving Lakii the dev skin. So, in addition to changing your operator on the fly, they can also change your weapon skins. Unfortunately for Lakii, they did not get to keep the skin.
Ubisoft Support was mentioned in the tweetand did respond. According to the tweet, they have sent the footage to their securities team to review it and asked Lakii to contact them if they have any more encounters with the player.
As of now, theRainbow Six Siegeoperator switch hack does not seem to be a common issue. Any form of cheating or toxicity inRainbow Six Siegeis shut down pretty quickly.Toxic players and cheaters have received bans for behavior such as this. More recently, the team dedicated to bringing anti-toxicity measures to the game have implemented a reverse team kill feature that damages the team killer after the first team kill.
Rainbow Six Siege’s newest batch of operators has been released in the form of Amaru and Goyo. You can check out ourpreviewto see what we thought of the newest season of content for Ubisoft’s tactical first-person shooter.
