There should have been a cool event in Rainbow Six Siege for some time now. However, Ubisoft had to deactivate it shortly after the release due to cheaters exploiting a glitch.
What is this event about? M.U.T.E Protocol has actually been running since August 4. The event transforms the operators into robots with cool, unique abilities that completely change the gameplay of the game:
- There is a special game mode played on the Tower map, where two areas can be captured or defended
- You will become drones as attackers, like a transformer
- As defenders, you can travel through bulletproof cameras and teleport
This opens up entirely new paths through the map, both for attacking and defending, and you need to be even more vigilant. Reconnaissance and communication become even more important in M.U.T.E Protocol, as they already are for victory in Rainbow Six.
During the event, there will be new skins for the operators for a short time. This time you will get cool cyber skins – a stark contrast to the 1920s gangster skins from the last event.
Cheaters exploit glitch, force restart
What happened? Due to a glitch, the event was taken offline shortly after its start. Some cheaters found a way to make themselves invisible and invulnerable through a claymore.
This glitch has appeared in the past and was supposed to be fixed. However, the new event apparently brought it back, prompting Ubisoft to take it offline as a precaution. Those who played before the deactivation will receive a collection pack as a compensation.
When can I play the event? The event has been back online since August 10 and is set to run until August 17. Ubisoft takes the fight against cheaters very seriously and has recently declared a war on players who boot you from the match.
However, this also affects players who seem to be innocent. The famous Rainbow YouTuber BikiniBodhi, for example, was banned for cheating – although he claims he was not, stating that he had been hacked and someone else in New York played pranks with his account while he was peacefully sleeping in Sweden.
