How to Unlock Legend Division in Rainbow Six Siege: All Requirements and PC Security Setup (Y11S3)

Champion used to be the end of the road in Rainbow Six Siege. Not anymore. With the Operation Split Fire mid-season update on October 15, 2026, Ubisoft opened Legend Division, a solo-queue ranked playlist that sits above Champion and is meant for the very top of the player base.

Getting in isn't only about skill, though. On top of the rank requirements, Ubisoft checks your account history, your reputation and, on PC, your system's security settings. Miss one box and the playlist stays locked. This guide covers every requirement for Y11S3 and the order to tackle them in.

What Legend Division is

You lock in a region for the playlist, and the regional leaderboards are public. Ubisoft says the leaderboard updates live and is monitored at all times. Before launch, it also ran a ban wave of more than 50,000 accounts aimed at account sharers, sellers and ban evaders.

All requirements at a glance

You also need regular ranked access first. Ranked requires the full game rather than Free Access, Clearance Level 50, and at least 10 attackers and 10 defenders unlocked. If you're aiming for Legend Division, you're well past that already.

Step 1: Check what you can't change

Two requirements are fixed by now, so check them before you spend time on anything else.

1. Last season's rank. You need to have finished Y11S2 (Operation System Override) at Platinum or above. If you didn't, Legend Division is out of reach this season. If the rules stay the same, reaching Platinum in Y11S3 keeps the door open for next season.
2. Clearance Level. You need level 200 or higher. Check your profile. If you're short, it's worth grinding now, because it also counts toward future seasons.

Step 2: Make sure your reputation is healthy

Ubisoft requires a Reputation Standing of level three or higher. Reputation reflects how you behave in matches, so play clean during your Champion push. Ubisoft's announcement only says "level three or higher" without naming the tier, so if your standing is borderline, treat it as something to protect rather than test.

Step 3: Set up an authenticator app

Legend Division needs two-step verification through an authenticator app, so set that up specifically rather than relying on another verification method.

1. Go to your Ubisoft account settings on the web and open the security section.
2. Turn on two-step verification and pick the authenticator app option.
3. Scan the QR code with an authenticator app on your phone and enter the code it shows.
4. Keep any recovery options safe. Losing access to a 2FA-protected account is a pain to fix.

Step 4 (PC only): Pass the security checks

This is the step most PC players trip on. Ubisoft's season page lists Secure Boot, Windows Memory Integrity (HVCI) and TPM 2.0. The game asks for temporary administrator rights to verify them. You can see your status in the Security Requirements menu under the Play tab.

Work through them in this order:

1. TPM 2.0. Most modern PCs have it. On Windows, press Win+R, type tpm.msc and press Enter. If it shows a TPM with specification version 2.0, you're set. If it says no TPM was found, enable it in your BIOS/UEFI. It's often labeled fTPM on AMD boards or PTT on Intel boards.
2. Secure Boot. Press Win+R, type msinfo32 and look for Secure Boot State in the System Summary. If it says Off, turn Secure Boot on in your BIOS/UEFI. Check your motherboard maker's manual for the exact menu.
3. Memory Integrity. In Windows, open Windows Security, then Device security, then Core isolation details, and switch on Memory integrity. Restart when prompted.

A word of caution on Secure Boot: it only works when Windows is installed in UEFI mode. If your system still boots in legacy (CSM) mode, switching over takes extra steps. Read your motherboard's guide before you change anything. Ubisoft itself refers BIOS questions to the motherboard manufacturer.

Step 5: Reach Champion and queue up

With everything else ready, the last requirement is the hard one: Champion rank in Y11S3. Once you meet every requirement, Legend Division opens up as a separate playlist. Remember that you lock in a region for it, so pick the one you actually play on.

Tips for the climb

• Play the Pro League maps in ranked. Legend Division only uses the Pro League pool, and the regular ranked rotation includes the nine Pro maps: Border, Bank, Chalet, Clubhouse, Villa, Fortress, Kafe, Lair and Nighthaven. Note that Villa was reworked this season, with a new basement bomb site and an interior garage.
• Get comfortable solo. Legend Division is solo queue only. If you've been climbing with a stack, spend some of your Champion games queuing alone.
• Don't leave security setup to the last week. BIOS changes can take time to sort out. Do Step 4 early, even before you hit Champion.
• Mind the deadline. The playlist closes with the season on December 1. Everything resets for Y11S4.

Common mistakes

• Using the wrong kind of 2FA. The requirement is specifically an authenticator app.
• Assuming console players need Secure Boot. That's a PC requirement. Console players still need the rank, clearance, reputation and authenticator requirements.
• Forgetting last season. Hitting Champion now won't help if you finished Y11S2 below Platinum.
• Turning on Secure Boot blind. Check that Windows is installed in UEFI mode first, or your PC may not boot until you switch the setting back.
• Account sharing. Letting someone else play on your account breaks Ubisoft's terms and is exactly what the pre-launch ban wave targeted.
