Reputation Score Beta: Status Update - January 2023
INSTABILITY OF PLAYER STANDINGS With the initial release of the system in BETA mode and some of the issues that were identified, we are aware that some players’ standings appear to be unstable and will change without clear feedback or gameplay activity.
To address this, we have already updated certain balancing aspects of the Reputation System and will continue to do so while also improving feedback and the types of behavior considered.

ABANDON MATCH IMPACT - (Quick Match, Event, and Newcomer playlists) Leaving a match affects other players, so we continue to discourage leaving ongoing matches too much. However, we've heard community feedback and have temporarily disabled this effect as we continue looking to bring a better balance.

It's that time of the year again - Happy Holidays from the Rainbow Six Siege team!

To celebrate the festive season, we have a special surprise for you:

Every player connecting to the game between December 22nd, 2022, and January 3rd, 2023, will be awarded a free Holiday Pack!

The Holiday Pack will be accessible in the Pack section on the home screen. Once activated, players will receive one free Operator from Year 1-7. This Operator will be randomly selected and will not include any Operators that the player has already unlocked.

Those who already own all Operators will receive a brand-new free headgear and uniform for the Operator Ying, as well as a brand-new signature weapon skin - holiday-themed of course!

We hope you enjoy this little gift from the team, and we wish you a great start to the new year.
