UBISOFT have announced that players caught cheating in Rainbow Six Siege will now be banned permanently.

| A number of major changes have been made to Rainbow Six Siege |
First-time cheaters were previously given just a three-day ban, but Ubisoft have decided to clamp down following complaints from Siege players.
A number of other tweaks have been implemented on the Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC including a fix which stops Defenders from leaving their zone during the preparation phase.
Those who stray will now be automatically killed, with Ubisoft also confirming that the server tick rate for console users has been updated from 30 times per second to 60.
As reported by News News Blog Gaming, Patch 1.2 went live on consoles yesterday, a full week after it came out for the PC.
Another update, 1.3, will be available for consoles on January 20, with major patch 2.0 available from February 2.
