Why was the Rainbow Six Siege X Marketplace shut down and will you get banned?

If you were busy trying to play Rainbow Six Siege X and saw a blank Marketplace, then you don’t have any reason to be worried.

The Marketplace, as of writing, will be reopened, and it was not a bug or network issue. Instead, it was part of a deliberate action on the part of Ubisoft. The decision was made following a massive server breach that has led to unintended consequences.

Rainbow Six Siege X servers breach explained

The story begins earlier, on Dec. 27, when many players observed messages that resembled banwaves. However, the messages were slightly different from their usual appearance, and players soon found out what had actually happened.

Upon returning to the main menu, many players reported having two billion credits in their accounts. While many players felt that the quantity must be a glitch, two billion credits were actually available in their accounts. They also reportedly gained access to the ultra-exclusive DEV skin and other high-value commodities like Glaciers.

The credits players obtained through illegal methods are premium currency. You can use it at the Marketplace to buy different cosmetics. Some players have also reportedly done so to purchase as many cosmetics as possible.

Hence, the Marketplace was completely shut down to prevent players from crashing the prices. An abundance of the premium currency would have altered the prices in an unfair fashion. As of writing, the servers for the game are also down for the same reason.

While Ubisoft hasn’t officially acknowledged the breach, the server maintenance page still lists unplanned outages for the game across all platforms. Since then, Ubisoft has detailed the expected course of action.

• There won’t be any bans.
• A rollback of all transactions that were done with the fraudulent currency.
• Players will retain all the unlocks that were done legitimately.
