Rainbow Six Siege’s ‘Reputation System’ Still Has Issues, According to Ubisoft

Rainbow Six Siege‘s “Reputation” mechanic is still reportedly seeing a number of problems with its implementation, notably incorrectly flagging players for harmful in-game behavior. Honor systems have been a staple of plenty of online games, encouraging players to practice good sportsmanship and treat fellow players with respect. Competitive games like League of Legends have often featured special rewards tied to honor systems, including Chests for players to acquire new League of Legends skins. Now, Siege‘s honor system is seeing a few hiccups.

Rainbow Six Siege first debuted its “Reputation” system in late 2022, rolling out a tiered system encouraging players to treat others well in-game. The system features five different “Reputation” levels across Negative, Neutral, and Positive Standings, implementing bonuses for positive play. Positive players see increased gains for their in-game XP as well as exclusive rewards, while Negative Standing players experience reduced gains and restrictions on their ability to play. However, Rainbow Six Siege‘s reputation system is reportedly still seeing issues over a year after its launch.
