Earlier this year, we announced our plans to [url=https://rainbow6.ubisoft.com/siege/en-us/news/152-330511-16/anti-cheat-next-steps]activate mandatory Two Step Verification[/url] in order to play Ranked.
We are excited to announce that r[b]anked lock will be activated on December 11th, 2018 in Europe, Middle East, North America and South America.[/b] If you are playing on the data centers for these regions and you want to play Ranked, you will need to have 2 Step Verification activated on your account by December 11th. For APAC data centers (include the data centers here), this lock will happen at a later date.
