Howdy! 🤠

Deployable shields and Clash have been reactivated on live servers for both PC and Console, in all game modes.

Given the results of our recent tests on the Test Server, we've decided to activate the fixes on the live servers and re-enable Deployable Shields and Clash. This means deployable shield ammo count will be set back to 1 and Clash will be available in Operator select.

We'll be closely monitoring the situation and may deactivate them once again if any issues arise.

Please report to us on r6fix.ubi.com if you notice any issues with Deployable shields and/or Clash after the change.

Fix the glitches with chat. People are able to spam special characters that cause games to crash.

It's under investigation atm.

All of my guns and ops have been stripped of their camos and attachments.

It seems to be a bug after playing the new event mode. If you restart, your loadout should be restored.

I was playing yesterday and they were still disabled, can someone confirm for me they are actually back in the game? I'm currently at work rn

They were just re-enabled a few hours ago.

Hey the US west servers for showdown are broken currently. It puts you in a 6 second queue and then loads and goes back to the main menu.

Try restarting first. If it keeps doing that please send in a ticket to support.ubi.com as well - thanks!

Im not sure if this is common, or if it is exclusive to my friend group, but we have been experiencing a glitch in ranked that causes completed matches to have no effect on out mmr whatsoever. I restarted my game to make sure it wasn't just a visual bug, but it wasn't. The bug was definately related to issues with data syncing after matches, this would also result in no renown gain and increased percentage for alpha packs, as well as removing the ability to even try to recieve an alpha pack with said percent chance. In some cases even unequiping all cosmetics and attachments on my loadouts.

For the loadouts, if you restart it should set it back to your previous settings. Not sure if that will resolve the MMR issue you seem to be having, but please put in a ticket with r6fix.ubi.com and we'll look further into it.

Are they the old shields or new shields?

Old shields currently. New shields are still in the testing phase on the TS

Had to find a post you made since I'm not sure how to get ahold of someone who works for ubisoft for R6, & ubisoft support is literally useless. So quick question do you guys have any plans to deal with Ddosers on console? Or period cause it's getting frustrating at this point I just had not one, not two, but THREE straight ranked games ddosed. It's all that ever happens with plat 1's and diamonds on Xbox now at least 50% of your games you run into Ddosers, sometimes you get lucky & whoever is doing it is stupid and accidentally boots the server so the match ends and you don't lose elo against blatant cheaters. I know this isn't your fault and I don't mean to come off as rude at all so I apologize in advance. I'm just curious about your plans for it cause R6 will die if you don't step up on this it's getting worse every season cause nobody does anything about it so as people see they can get away with it (ddosing is ILLEGAL btw) more are starting to do it. I just figured a successful company would take cyber crimes against them seriously after years of it. R6 has its flaws yes but it's a GREAT game that many people love and it'd be a shame to see its downfall over something like this. I've had friends quit cause it happens so much they're done with siege. All lvl 300+ with 2k+ hours in ranked we love your game but for the love of God please save us 😂

Hey. We're very aware of the DDOS frustrations and it's a very high priority issue for us at the moment.

That being said, I unfortunately don't have any details which I can share with you all on this. I hope you all can grant us a bit more of your understanding and when we can share more about our actions and plans, we will do so.

Is this on live or the TS?

As far as I can tell live on "Showdown" I play on Xbox.

Do you happen to have any clips of it happening? And you've only noticed it in showdown?

I do not at the moment. I have made reports to Xbox on unsporting behavior to those who are doing it. They hold the deployable shield and will walk around or bob up and down while holding it blocking shots. I have only noticed it on Showdown and havent seen it happening in casual or ranked as of yet.

Ok. Thanks! We'll look into it when everyone is back in the office monday.
