Previously, a big update added various balancing, changes, and much more. Unfortunately, since the last update, players are still experiencing several issues when trying to play the game online.

Today’s Rainbow Six Siege version 2.04 will fix a few of these issues. Read more details below.

What is new in today’s Rainbow Six Siege 2.04?

New Operator – FLORES (Attacker)

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.

PRIMARY WEAPON

  • AR33
  • SR-25

GADGET

  • Stun Grenade
  • Claymore

UNIQUE ABILITIES AND PLAYSTYLE

Controlled from a distance, the RCE-Ratero Charge races forward while Flores scouts a location for its blast. Once triggered, the Ratero clutches onto the nearest surface, armors itself with a bulletproof shell, and explodes, destroying nearby gadgets and soft surfaces.

MAP REWORK: BORDER

Border has been reworked to improve gameplay and quality of life for players. 1F Bathroom has been expanded to provide a soft wall between the 1F Bathroom and 1F Tellers bomb sites, and the 2F Archives bomb site has been extended into 2F Offices. In addition, an interior balcony now connects East Stairs to 2F Break Room, and a new exterior staircase leads to the 2F Archives balcony.

SECONDARY WEAPON: GONNE-6

A new secondary weapon has been added to some Attacker loadouts. The GONNE-6 is Rainbow Six Siege’s modern-day hand cannon; it shoots an explosive projectile that detonates on impact with surfaces and destroys bulletproof gadgets. The name is derived from “handgonne,” a term that has been used throughout history to refer to hand cannons.

MATCH REPLAY BETA

Players now have access to the Watch section (via the Home section), which is where they can find replays saved by the new Match Replay system. This feature allows players to re-watch matches and explore gameplay from all angles and perspectives. The system’s control bar allows players to rewind, fast-forward, and select their preferred round and replay speed.

NEWCOMER PLAYLIST REWORK

The Newcomer map pool will now feature 5 iconic Siege maps (Coastline, Oregon, Kafe, Bank, and Clubhouse), plus 1 seasonal map that will rotate each season. Each Newcomer map will have two possible bomb site locations, and each match will feature the same bomb sites for all rounds, allowing players to familiarize themselves with the most-played sites.

DRONE PROXIMITY AWARENESS

If an Attacker drones near one of Mozzie’s Pests, the icon that appears will now pulse at different speeds, depending on the drone’s proximity to the Pest. Attackers can use this new information to rethink their droning strategy when a Pest is near.

DISABLED STATE FOR ELECTRONIC GADGETS

When disabled by Mute, the necessary disabled state feedback will now appear for Attacker drones, Breach Charges, Hibana’s X-Kairos, Fuze’s Cluster Charge, Thermite’s Exothermic Charge, and Zero’s ARGUS Cameras. In addition, Claymores and Nomad’s Airjabs can now be disabled and will have the proper feedback.

Operator balancing in R6 Y6S1 Update

MUTE

  • Mute’s Signal Disruptor now disables Claymores and Nomad’s Airjabs.
  • Added the disabled state feedback that was missing for other affected gadgets.

MOZZIE

  • The warning icon that appears when a drone is near one of Mozzie’s Pests now pulses at different speeds depending on the drone’s proximity to the Pest.

BLACKBEARD

  • Reduced Blackbeard’s Rifle-Shield HP to 20 from the previous 50.
  • Reduced Mk17 damage to 40 from the previous 49.

DOKKAEBI

  • Stun Grenades are replacing Frag Grenades.
  • The GONNE-6 is replacing the C75.

FINKA

  • Stun Grenades are replacing Frag Grenades.
  • The GONNE-6 is replacing the GSH-18.

TWITCH

  • Smoke Grenades are replacing Stun Grenades.

KALI

  • Increased CSRX 300 damage to 127 from the previous 122.

G36 RECOIL

  • Improved recoil for G36.

What is fixed in Rainbow 6 Siege Y6S1?

Improvement Lab
  • Defender electricity will no longer destroy ally devices (Test Server Only). This does not affect Custom Games or Situations. We are aware this is a substantial design change, so it will be released on the Test Server to gather feedback from players and the feature will be deactivated when the build goes live.
  • There are new playlist settings for Custom Games. The Preparation Phase Timer can now be set to 0, which allows teams to skip the Preparation Phase, and the Action Phase Timer can now be set to 1800 (30 mins).
  • The damage zone for reinforcements is now reduced to avoid having them overlap and destroy nearby gadgets.
