Rainbow Six Siege Dev Tracker

In this latest edition of Designer’s Notes, we'll go into more detail about the upcoming balancing changes that’ll come with the 4.3 patch and give you an insight into the reasons behind these changes.

WIN DELTA VS. PRESENCE


Please note that we are using presence to gauge the popularity of an operator. This notion had to be introduced to reflect the implementation of the pick & ban. Presence definition: “pick rate of an Operator when not banned.” Win Delta: The Win Delta is aggregated from Operator’s Win Deltas per map. We usually compute it per map and per bo... Read more

For 5 weekends, take part in the action as you play the Road to Six Invitational 2020 event.

On a brand-new map furnished with bulletproof glass walls creating new tactical situations, you’ll have access to all Operators regardless of who you unlocked. Furthermore, six of them have been fitted with specific outfits for this momentous event, so if you see Blitz, Caveira, Hibana, Mozzie, Sledge or Thermite in a match, you’ll see them decked out in their exclusive themed sportswear.

We will be updating the following list regularly to outline the status of certain issues that are currently pressing for our community. Please note that this list is not exhaustive, and should only be used as a reference to give a general idea of where our focus currently is.



BATTLE PASS PROGRESSION DATA Description: In certain instances, the Battle Pass may take longer than usual to visually synchronize, or could potentially get stuck. You may not be able to access the Battle Pass progression page in these cases. Restarting the game will fix this issue. Please note: Your progress and items will continue to be tracked and granted. This is only a visual issue.

TOP ISSUES AND COMMUNITY CONCERNS Updated: 13 December 2019

We will be updating the following list regularly to outline the status of certain issues that are currently pressing for our community. Please note that this list is not exhaustive, and should only be used as a reference to give a general idea of where our focus currently is.



SOUND PROPAGATION ISSUES Description: During Y4S2, we set out a large batch of fixes to make improvements on our sound propagation system. However, some issues remained due to discrepancies between sound travelling through obstacle (e.g. walls, barricades, windows, reinforcements) versus sound passing through next to these obstacles via another route.

“Turn on your phones. Disengage your brains. Live in the moment. Consume.”

EXCERPT FROM A PRINT INTERVIEW, 09-09.
Reporter: What does identity mean to you?

Bosak: All identity is performative. The complication lies in the fact that, as much as you construct your image by what you say, how you dress, and which brands you buy, you’re never truly in control. You’re always subject to a status quo, a set of expectations about how someone who looks like you *must* act.

Reporter: Surely those expectations don’t carry over when we’re talking about art.

Bosak: Art transcends society only when nothing is known about the artist. I don’t want ... Read more

“I get it. Everyone’s just doing their best to survive. You shoot at me, though? Then it gets personal.”

Transcript dated 11/11. Edited for clarity.
Vincente: I’ve met people like you before. I got sent to a shrink after I lost my eye. You know what he wanted me to do? Visualization exercises. He wanted me to pretend that I still had both my eyes, to imagine the life I had before and “project it into the future.” You know what I said to him? “Cara, imagining I’ve still got both eyes isn’t going to get me back on the field. Can you help me or not?” He sent me to an occupational therapist and I never saw him again. So don’t ask me about how I’ve “adapted” or “grown”, or dig into m... Read more

Find all the latest balancing changes coming with Operation Shifting Tides.[rainbow6.com] Our Dev Team is about to give an insider perspective at what led us to tweak certain abilities, weapons and gadgets.

WEAPON BALANCING
M-12 SMG

• Increased M-12 SMG damage from 36 to 40

The M-12 is currently one of the lowest damages and slowest firing SMGs in the game. With most players favouring the Luison, there is currently very little reason to select the M-12. Our Devs are looking to give the M-12 a fairer chance during duels.


FO-12 SHOTGUN

• Decreased damage dealt beyond 10 meters
  
• ...

There’s a situation going on at the Bank. A hostage was taken, and it’s up to you to ensure their safety. The heist is ongoing, and the tension is coming to a head.

For Rainbow Six: Siege’s first collaboration with Netflix, we are bringing you a short event themed after their Spanish-language series, La Casa De Papel.

From November 20th to 25th, experience your own heist!



RULES OF THE HEIST The Casa De Papel event is a classic Hostage match, where Attackers and Defenders must fight over a Hostage dressed in the series’ iconic mask and red jumpsuit. Hibana and Vigil are also equipped with the same look, should you pick them to play with.

THE BUNDLES A fu... Read more

In Y4S4 we are changing bullet penetration on character models in Rainbow Six Siege. This new system aims to increase the lethality of shots and provide guidance on where a bullet should land.

The goal of the new bullet penetration system is to reduce the impression of inaccurate hit registration, reducing past player confusion as to where a shot will land. The new penetration rules will be dependent on the type of gun used, and will determine how the bullet will travel after its initial hit.



PENETRATION RULES
NO PENETRATION
A bullet hits one body part and will not pass through to hit other body parts. This was the case for almost all guns in Rainbow Six Siege up until n... Read more

Hold onto your seats, Operation Shifting Tides is rising from the depths. NIGHTHAVEN Special Intervention Group joins the fray as this season’s new ORG. Its owner, Kali, joins Six as the new Attacker. One of her best agents, Wamai, is also coming aboard as the new Defender.

These two Operators are unlike any that have come before and bring their particular talents to the roster. With them, expect a newly reworked Theme Park to surface, as well as a few other features worthy of note. You will find more details on these updates in the full Patch Notes below.
