Most cheating videos are a highlight reel. You see the 20-bomb, you do not see the twelve rounds of nothing that came before it. TIIAGO did the opposite. Over eight episodes he documented a full ranked climb in Rainbow Six Siege from unranked upward, running Inferno the whole way, and he left the bad games in. He had been hard stuck gold on his main for years, so the question the series actually answers is not "do cheats work" but "how far do they carry someone who is not already good at the game". The answer turns out to be more interesting than either side of that argument expects.
Here is what happened on each day, and what it tells you about cheating in ranked.
Day 1: unranked to Copper 3
The series opens on Skyscraper with ESP running and one rule stated in the first minute: do not look at people through walls. That single habit is most of what separates a player who lasts from one who gets reported on day one. Across the first two games he drones enemies he has already seen on ESP purely to build an alibi, checks cameras he does not need, and in one round deliberately passes up a kill because taking it would have looked wrong. His words: it needed to be legit.
He finished both games as MVP and banked roughly 110 points each, which put him at Copper 3. Worth noting how modest that is. Two dominant games at the bottom of the ladder move you almost nowhere.
Day 2: called out at Copper 2
Day 2 is the first time the human side bites. He gets accused in round three, and the detail that matters is that he had died the round before. The lobby was not reacting to a specific play, it was reacting to his scoreboard: a 6 KD in a Copper lobby reads as a cheater no matter how carefully you play the individual rounds.
His response is the correct one. He drops into full closet mode for the rest of the match, baits enemies into peeking him rather than pre-holding angles he should not know about, and lets teammates take kills. He closes the day at Copper 2 with a 100 percent win rate, and flags his own 5.8 KD as concerning. That is the lesson: your stats are a report magnet independent of your behaviour, and at some point you have to choose between the scoreboard and the account.
Day 3: the closet cheating episode
Day 3 is the longest of the early run at twelve minutes and is built entirely around closet play, which is the discipline of using information without ever showing that you have it. If you only watch one episode before trying any of this yourself, this is a reasonable one, because it is the skill that decides everything later in the climb.
Days 4 and 5: grinding out of Copper into Bronze
These two episodes cover the least glamorous stretch of the series. Nothing dramatic happens, which is exactly the point: the reward per win at the bottom of the ladder is small, and clearing Copper into Bronze took multiple sessions of winning convincingly. By the end of Day 5 he is at Bronze 2. Five days of cheating in ranked, and the account is still nowhere near where his legit main sat.
Day 6: Bronze 2 to Silver 5, and a lot of dying
Day 6 is the most honest episode in the series and the reason it is worth watching at all. He dies repeatedly, goes down three rounds in a match, and at one point says out loud that losing with cheats would be embarrassing. He nearly does. The team is not good, his own mechanics are rusty, and information alone does not win rounds where you still have to hit the shot.
What does work is playing around the information rather than through it: throwing Alibi decoys where enemies will find them, holding sniper angles he knows are about to be walked into, and letting teammates clean up. He finishes at Silver 5. Anyone who thinks a cheat is a win button should watch this one specifically.
Day 7: the long grind to Silver 3
At just over fourteen minutes this is the longest episode of the series, and it moves him from Silver 5 to Silver 3. Two divisions for a full session. The pattern by now is established: no single game is a breakthrough, and the climb is a grind that cheats shorten rather than skip.
Day 8: Silver 3 to Silver 2, rusty and suspected
The final episode of the run opens with him admitting he has not played in a long time and that his mechanics have slipped. He dies with walls on, more than once, and pre-empts the comments about it. Then he gets suspected by his own team, and spends the following rounds droning corners he has no need to drone purely to look normal again.
The most useful moment is a confession: one kill was, in his words, too blatant, and he had actually been trying to miss. That is the whole difficulty of closet cheating in one line. Playing badly on purpose is harder than playing well, and it is the skill the entire climb depends on. He ends the day at Silver 2.
What eight days of ranked cheating actually proves
Three things stand out watching the series end to end.
- Cheats compress the climb, they do not delete it. Eight sessions took an unranked account to Silver 2. That is faster than most players manage, and it is nothing like the instant ascent people imagine.
- Your scoreboard reports you, not your aim. He was accused on Day 2 in a round he had died in. A KD that does not fit the lobby is the flag, which is why the disciplined players deliberately keep theirs lower.
- Mechanics still decide rounds. The worst day in the series was the one where he could not hit shots. Information tells you where the fight is; you still have to win it.
The series did eventually reach Champion, in a later season under Ranked 3.0. That climb is its own story, and the short version is that the closer he got to the top, the more of the lobby was running something too.
The cheat used across the series
Inferno is the cheat running through the climb: aimbot and wallhack, straightforward to set up, and the cheapest way into R6 on our store. If you want the fuller toolkit, Frost adds customisable chams and unlock all, and Frost Pro layers on silent aim and no clip. All of them sit on the Rainbow Six Siege page, and you can check what is currently undetected on the Inferno status page before you buy.

Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to climb with cheats in R6?
On the evidence of this series, longer than you would guess. Eight documented sessions moved an unranked account to Silver 2, and reaching Champion took a further run in a later season.
Why did he get called out if he was playing carefully?
Because the lobby was reading his scoreboard, not his crosshair. A KD far outside what the rank produces draws reports on its own, which is why lower and more human-looking stats are a real strategy rather than false modesty.
Is Inferno good for a beginner?
It is the option we point beginners at: aimbot and wallhack, no complicated setup, and the lowest price of our R6 lineup. Check its live status before every session.
