Rainbow Six Siege Dev Tracker

Occasionally, life brings us a gift. Something magical and special that flutters into our world only to fade away in the distance, never to be seen again.

SAVE THE TEDDY BEAR, SAVE THE WORLD It’s the return of the Very Important Plushie!

We know many of you have been eager to get your hands on community made skins, so we are super excited to partner up with Prime Gaming to introduce you to our Community Artist Bundle Program. We are launching this new program in Y6S1 Crimson Heist and it will bring operator bundles created by some of the top Siege fan artists going forward.

With this program we want to celebrate our amazingly creative and dedicated community artists and give them a chance to be represented in-game. Each selected artist gets to create a full set for an operator of their choice and these bundles will drop over the course of Year 6 and beyond.

The first installment of this program for Y6S1 was designed by the infamous SAU_SIEGE for our resident spooky lady: Caveira.

In November, we released an article outlining the top issues and community concerns[www.ubisoft.com] among the Rainbow Six Siege community. Protecting our content creators from players using streamers’ public information to disrupt their experience was highlighted among our top priorities. With the release of Streamer Mode, creators will have more control over what information is publicly available, protecting them from Stream and Queue Sniping.

So, what are these disruptive actions and our efforts to stop the... Read more

Kicking off 2021, all of us at Rainbow Six Siege are proud to introduce Crimson Heist, a season that gears players up for the ultimate heist. A new Operator is joining our ranks: the sly and tactical Flores, an Attacker from Argentina who knows how to mix precision and passion. He brings the RCE-Ratero Charge, a remote-controlled charge, with a timed explosion, that sneaks up on unsuspecting opponents.

Crimson Height is an action-packed season that offers reworks of the Border map and Newcomer playlist, a new secondary weapon, and plenty of other exciting additions. Are you ready to get the stash? Keep reading the Patch Notes below to discover more.

Intro
It’s been about half a year since our last dev blog[www.ubisoft.com] on the Rainbow Six Siege war against cheats. For the last six months, the team has continued the fight and we would like to share with you a bit about what’s been happening behind the scenes. While we would love to be fully transparent, doing so could hinder our efforts as it could aid in the creation of new cheats.

Most of our changes will be made on the backend, so you may not see them. To summarize our current status, we are a... Read more
