# Introduction
Using cheats in any game carries an inherent risk. Games like Fortnite, Rust and Rainbow Six Siege spend millions of dollars to keep cheaters out of their game, so it's important that we have a strategy to stay undetected.\
\ Because of this, we need to make sure we're diligent with *how* you use our cheats. If you run around carelessly with aimbot snapping onto targets and blatantly using ESP, then people will report you. Accumulating reports will result in the anti-cheat paying closer attention to you, and for some games, can also lead to a manual review from a real person.\
\ Well, since getting banned kinda sucks (and can be expensive), I'll show you how to use our cheats without getting banned.

In this video, I'll teach you how to cheat in R6 without getting banned. However, the concepts of this video\
apply for all games, not just Rainbow Six Siege.

### Why Most Cheaters Get Caught
If you were an admin of the game spectating yourself, would you think you were cheating? If the answer is yes, then likely the anti-cheat can easily find out you're using cheats. With modern technology and millions of dollars being put into anti-cheats, they're pretty good at detecting artificial gaming behavior.\
\ However, this is not to say that there isn't TONS of people that have gotten skilled at using cheats while **staying completely undetected**. There is a lot of people that have learned to cheat without getting banned, and *you can too.*\
\ The basics is all based around trying to not abuse the cheat, but instead **use it as a tool to better enhance your gaming experience.** Think of aimbot more as aimassist. Instead of the cheat being a crutch, it's rather a tool you use, like a gaming mouse, or having an extra wide monitor. We want to use minimal features on your cheat, **less the better.**
### The Two Ways You Get Banned
There's two completely different ways to get banned, and knowing which one you're dealing with is most of the battle.
**Detection bans** happen when the anti-cheat recognizes the cheat itself. These usually go out in waves and hit everyone running that cheat at the same time, no matter how carefully they played. You can't play your way out of a detection ban, which is why you should **only ever run a cheat that's marked Undetected** on our [status page](https://arcticcheats.wtf/status).
**Behavior bans** happen because of how you played. Reports from other players, killcams, replays and stat reviews. The cheat was never detected, you just played like a cheater. This is the one you're in control of, and it's what every lesson below is about.
To show you how big the difference is, we tried to get banned on purpose in Arc Raiders with everything maxed out. The account lasted one session. The cheat was never detected, it was 100% behavior. Played carefully, that exact same cheat runs for months.
### Before Every Session
Get into the habit of doing these every time you play:
1. **Check the status page the day you play.** If your cheat says Updating, wait for it to go back to Undetected before you load in. Don't trust an old screenshot or a forum post, detection status changes.
2. **Load your saved config.** Save your settings once you're happy with them so they load every time. Half remembered settings is how people end up running max FOV with zero smoothing without even noticing.
3. **Only turn on what you need.** Decide what features you actually need for this session before you queue. **Less is more.**
