Cheaters never prosper. At least eventually that is. Ubisoft's The Division is notorious for its cheaters and game breaking glitches, and Ubisoft has decided to up their game in an effort to restore some normalcy to the situation. Permanent bans will now be handed out to ALL FIRST TIME OFFENDERS who are caught using 3rd party cheating software.
This is quite the step up from the 14-day suspensions that Ubisoft Massive has been handing out, but unfortunately, they seem to have done little to dissuade cheaters. There is currently no official start date for the wave of perma-bans, but Ubisoft Massive says they will communicate that when they are ready.
