In fact, latency reductions are typically better for lower end hardware.

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.

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.
