[Feedback/Suggestion]Keyboard and Mouse users on console | Forums

[Ubi-Karl]

Game is actually broken. Uphill struggle every round to get anywhere because of these mouse and keyboard hackers. It's supposed to be a competitive game and it's just garbage now. All time favourite game flooded with cheaters and Ubisoft and PlayStation won't do a thing about it. Controllers should in no way be playing against MnK...

Hey ClusterC,

Thanks for reaching out and sharing your feedback.

I do understand that occasionally you may encounter cheaters in-game, however rest assured, our anti-cheat system is being consistently updated and we're doing our best to stay on top of it.

In regards to mouse and keyboard, I will ensure this gets passed along to our game team accordingly, however as advised by Ubi-Milky, this is a complex topic that we're looking at, and as soon as there will be an update for it, details will be posted in our official forums, therefore keep an eye.

Should you have any questions, let us know!

Thank you. Hopefully it gets sorted and we can see peoples true rank when they don't have a script or mouse helping them. Will be good to have a level playing field

Thank you for helping highlight this to us even further.

If ever there is anything else we can help with we are always happy to assist.

So, I’ve made a post about this before. About three months ago. I currently sit at the diamond rank on siege on console. Anyone that is in this ranking knows the pain about having to play literally non stop mouse and keyboarders aka kids with a huge advantage over us legitimate controller players. At times it literally makes the game unplayable and not even enjoyable. I play with a stack of people on controller. I think it is quite sad how all of the big console siege streamers/probably like 80% of champions are using it/playing with people using MnK. There’s literally kids that stream and straight out say they’re using MnK and honestly I don’t blame them because Ubi doesn’t care/do anything about console siege and cheating(MnK) on console at all. It’s honestly gotten to the point where I don’t even feel like playing anymore because I’m at such a disadvantage probably 70% of the games I play. Do you guys intend to actually do anything or should I just either quit or make an account and purposely drop to like silver/gold ranking where maybe not everyone is using a mouse and keyboard? Like is it seriously that hard to do something where if you’re playing on console a mouse and keyboard won’t work? Seriously need to fix this before everyone just uses MnK and console siege dies and new players just quit coming in because it’s unfair.

Hey,

I appreciate you’re eager to know Ubisoft’s stance on console players using Keyboard and Mouse in-game. This is a complex topic involving hardware, live services, and security.

We are working to deliver a global and reliable solution for detection but do not have more info yet as investigations are ongoing.

Nice, same exact response as my post three months ago. Glad you guys are able to detect and care about pc cheaters but when it comes to console who cares I guess nice. Looks like I will be done playing siege until you guys start caring about the game other than pc

Just crap robotic answers as usual m8, i asked a simple question a while ago and just got robot response about server locations. Didn't answer my actual question in any shape or form. Just buy a mouse m8, lets take all of ubisofts mnk's off em and use those. Ive got video of a guy on ps4 leaning without ads. Id report but what would happen 🚽

Nah man I’m actually just done playing the game. It’s frustrating cause I truly do love siege I think it’s the best shooter out there but when they don’t give a **** about the platform you play on it’s frustrating. Diamond+ ranked is a joke and a half literally every game or almost every game consist of at least an MnKer. Yeah, I could make a smurf and play down in golds where there’s no MnK but that’s no fun either because you’re playing kids below the skill level and it’s not fair to them either. Until they actually give a **** about doing something about these kids I’m done playing haven’t played since I made this post and don’t plan on it. Sad when a majority of the console siege streamers are even using it cause Ubi literally doesn’t do a damn thing about it I have numerous screenshots/clips of champs using MnK but not gonna waste my time cause they won’t do anything about it and it’s not gonna change anything when they sign on an alt account if it did get banned. Wouldn’t doubt it if they have a deal with Xim or something at this point 😂😂. Good job Ubi you’re losing your customers by doing absolutely nothing against cheaters I’ve had some friends already quit for the exact same reason. Do me a favor and one of you Ubi mods comment on this post if ya ever do anything(highly unlikely) but until then fair-well siege its been a fun time until MnK consumed you.

We do read the forums and we have passed on feedback on how the community feels about players being able to use mouse and keyboard on console. The response we have provided is all we are able to say on it at this time. Whenever we have more information on a topic like this, we'll be sure to post news about it.

[Th3rst]

I’m not blaming anyone especially the people on this forum from Ubi just to clarify you guys probably are nothing but messengers. I’m just saying if you look at it from a PC to console standpoint if there’s a guy cheating for a week straight they more than likely will be banned relatively soon on pc. If someone plays on console using MnK(cheating) for a week straight guess what happens? Literally nothing. They get away with it and climb up the elo rankings cause they’re at such an advantage. I understand pc is the more popular platform but the fact this has been going on for so long on console with no actions done to them is just sad at this point. I also understand that it isn’t the simplest thing to figure out but I’ll tell you it sure wouldn’t be the hardest to make Xims/MnK not compatible within siege on console. Therefore, I’m still sticking to my point and not playing the game until actions are taken against the people ruining the game.

It’s literally impossible to enjoy the game and that’s why is so much less popular on console cause every time I play I play at high gold low play there going to be at least one m&k every game no doubt there’s no such thing as a game above gold one that doesn’t have at least one m&k and I hate how Ubi just says “oh well it’s console **** console and it’s SO. Neglected but at the same time idk how you are going to neglect a quarter of your player base the games already struggling as is but Jesus
