Doktor's Curse is a limited timed event in Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege that was introduced during the Operation Ember Rise expansion. It took place from October 23, 2019 to November 6, 2019.
The Hide and Seek gamemode takes place on Doktor's Castle which a modified version of Theme Park. Following the theme of a mad scientist, the map has been made to resemble something akin to Frankenstein's castle. Attackers and Defenders are known as Hunters and Monsters respectively.
Setting
Following the closure of Theme Park, something wasn't quite right with Doc. He moved his equipment into the park castle and made it his home. It was then that he started to perform disturbing experiments on his fellow Rainbow operators. In the end, he created something more evil than he had intended. Now monsters roam the castle and a band of exterminators have been called upon. With Doc busy experimenting on Bandit, it's up to the Hunters to capitalize on this opportunity and cleanse the castle.
Gameplay
Gamemode Rules
The objective of Hide and Seek is for one team to eliminate all members of the enemy team or for the Monsters to survive the two minute time limit each round.
Unlike normal multiplayer, both teams do not have access to weapons and cannot melee. The Hunters only have access to modified versions of Sledge's Cabre and their unique tracking abilities. Monsters have no means to attack Hunters directly. Instead, they have access to one Reinforcement and their respective Operator traps. Traps will also replenish over time, encouraging players to plant them and avoid Hunters. Monsters also have access to the new nightstride ability. Once activated, it temporarily makes Monsters completely invisible to Hunters and increases their movement speed. Despite this, the ability has a cooldown effect and may only be used three times by a player during a round. Additionally, it does not prevent detection by the Heartbeat Sensor or EE-ONE-D.
Operators
The mode limits players to choosing between five Monsters and three Hunters. A single Hunter may be chosen more than once by players.
