General Tweaks and Improvements

Game Balancing

Deployable Shield V2

We will be releasing the new Deployable Shield that has been on the Test Server for the past few months. We are looking forward to your feedback!

Electronic Gadget Disable State

We are implementing Thatcher's debuff icon when Defenders are under the effect of Thatcher's EMP grenades.

Player Comfort

Capitão

Asphyxiating bolts are no more! In conjunction with an updated propagation and visual effects system, Capitao has replaced his Asphyxiating bolts with Fire bolts.

Rank Restriction

We will be implementing a limit to the MMR gap between party members. There cannot be a bigger gap than 1000 MMR between the players with highest and lowest MMR in the squad in order to play Ranked. Players can check their squad members' MMR in the Side Panel Profile. For players above 4400 MMR (Diamonds), you are able to group with any player above 3400 MMR (Platinum). Players below 1200 MMR can group with players below 2200 MMR.

Vault Distance

• Vault Distance has been reduced from 2.5m to 2m.

Game Health

First Person Animation Tree Refactor

In an effort to ensure scalability for the future of Rainbow Six Siege, we refactored the First Person Animation Tree. This means that we are reorganising and simplifying the structure "under the hood" of how our First Person Animations are integrated in our game engine.

These changes have no impact on gameplay and only affect animations that your Operator does on your own screen, locally. That said, this is the final step in correcting weapon sights, as they are now "code-driven" under this new structure.
