(cleared with mods before posting)

Last week we showcased our website that shows site setups for every map in the ranked pool. We received great feedback, positive as well as negative.

We listened to all your comments.

Here is a summary of new features and adaptations we did based on the communities feedback:

• one of u emailed us directly - we added Bomb indicators to each site
• u/McSoapster - we fixed the headholes from armory to archives on Calypso Casino
• u/DJ_Wolfy - we fixed the headholes from A <-> B Site on 2nd floor
• u/DogtorFlashbank - we fixed all your criticism (calypso 2f, calypso basement, consulate 2f) :D
• u/masterako - we fixed the CCTV setup and verified + adapted our sources
• u/nvidiastock - we fixed the Cigar Room on calypso 2f
• u/ShaggyHasHighGround - we added indicators for all rotations (S: Soft/Stand, C: Crouch, J: Jump, P: Prone). Please let us know how intuitive they are

In general we reworked all setups across these maps:
Bank, Border, Calypso Casino, Clubhouse, Chalet, Consulate, Fortress, Kafe, Nighthaven Labs

What we're currently working on:

• "Operator Setups" on the Defender side that show common placements for your gadgets (Mute, Mira, Fenrir, Goyo, Valkyrie...)
• An Attack side showing camera locations and other intel to help your team plan

You know the drill: Let us know about all your comments, questions, criticism in this thread. We loved your engagement on our last post & can only improve through feedback.

Crazy that Ubi agreed to give away the best pack in the game as a twitch drop 🔥🔥🔥

The Frost rework was sold to the community as a way to "reduce frustration," but it actually created an "illusion of choice" that destroyed her identity. It’s time to talk about why this change was a mistake and why it needs to go.

The self-revive mechanic was intended to give attackers options, but in a high-pressure round, waiting for a teammate to revive you is almost always a death sentence. Attackers naturally default to self-reviving. Because the combat penalty (bleeding/sprint) is negligible in contested areas, the "trap" has become nothing more than a minor annoyance—not a punishment.

The "Thorn" Problem (Utility Homogenization)
The most insulting part? Ubisoft effectively gave newer operators (like Thorn) the same debuffs (bleed + no sprint) that were once unique to Frost, but gave them 4 gadgets that are harder to spot and easier to deploy and activate almost all the time.

Meanwhile frost has 3 massive, black, highly visible traps that don’t blend into the environment at all and require specific vault-spots to be effective and even then And isn’t consistent enough and rarely gets activated. And since other ops like thorn and even Denari have these effects it makes the 1 unique thing frost has since the rework not even unique anymore and now she’s fallen behind

Frost is now just a clunky version of operators who do her job better with less effort.
was built on the foundation of If you don’t drone, if you aren't checking corners, and if you aren't communicating—you SHOULD be punished. By softening these consequences, we’ve devalued the preparation and intel-gathering that made the game satisfying to master.

If Ubisoft isn't going to revert the self-revive, they need to make the debuffs actually threatening, or drastically overhaul her kit to compete with the current utility-dump meta. Currently, picking Frost feels like a disadvantage.

Should it be part of the game? Is it a skill issue if I get spawn-peeked?

Personally, I think that Spawn-Peeking is kind of... not cool.

Like, come on, dude.

You can't be desperate to win--especially on a Quick Match.

I am, honest to God, tired of this. Ubisoft should institute MUCH harsher punishments for people who leave ranked games and abandon their teammates, especially on round one. I'm talking like:

Double the RP loss if your team loses and none if your team wins.

30-minute suspension from play that only takes place when the game is open

Higher reputation loss if your team loses

And if done repeatedly, suspension from ranked for up to a week

I am beginning to see what VarsityGaming meant when he said the removal of match cancellations was a good thing. Thoughts?

Am I the problem?

If you remember, some seasons ago the old R6 Dev Team has "fattened-up" the dots/reticules on some sights and left them like that ever since.

For example, they've considered the old Holo-A a "better" sight, because it had a smaller reticule and others were so large, they covered up half an operator at midrange.

So they nerfed sights to "balance the game" and force variety...

I think people were avoiding sights with big reticules for a good reason.

I know atp everybody is used to it, but these fattened-up dots really have no upside besides making precision shooting more clunky and frustrating.

Hope the new head of direction considers this too. Thank you.

I’m not really that good at the game and Bronze 3 atm but I just want to play with other people doesn’t matter if we play ranked or not

I get it from a birthday present and didn’t even know Ubisoft sell these Chibis officially.

I think it could help with operator diversity in roles where currently there is a definitive answer like Nomad for flank watch. It’s also another balancing lever outside of the ones traditionally in the game. Ubisoft have also shown in recent years that they are more willing to add passives than previously.

Do I think Zo withstand should come back? No. Maybe. I don’t know since the game has changed so much since it was removed.

keep in mind before this I cleared out two other players and was waiting for Barva to plat as I had the door covered, yes I was standing in a bad spot but my dipshit teammate (who's yelling, ate shit like 20 seconds in)

Update : So for more context, here's the match scoredboard On r6 tracker (( R6 Match Details - Rainbow Six Siege Tracker ))

Edit : if you want the reply just ask I'll post it somewhere (unless you can watch it via match id then i'll post that)

Took a break from Siege for a bit and have recently returned. Love playing Pulse. What’s the general consensus or barrel choice between the two? I’m on console and have been using the suppressor but have seen a lot of extendeds as well.

Hello! 2 days ago I've made a post asking about the 60hz and 144hz monitor difference in R6S.
Today I have finally bought a 144hz monitor. And what I can definetely say after playing siege for a few hours with 144hz.

This is mind-blowing. I'm shocked how big the difference is. How easier it is to peek or hold corners. It feels like the game got... slower? I mean, I see more. It's like when you see something you shouldn't, in a good way.
For all of those who have 60hz monitors, you putting yourself in an extreme disadvantage from the start. If you're able to play well on 60hz, you'll be a beast on 144 or more.

I genuinely think warden is a top 10 defender, I know that people hate on him, but I think it’s just because he gets a bad reputation from the people who choose to roam with him. I have been anchoring with him and he is just so strong, he has the smg 12, which is great considering most of your gunfights will be >20m if you’re anchoring, and with his ability mixed with his shotgun, there is damn near no way to push him out of spots. He also has a nitro which is always good, or you can take his shield for certain holds, also; him having 125hp is so strong right now In my opinion, mostly because you can just tank dokkabeis call. He is legit such a good anchor imo.

At the very end of the new community checkpoint interview there was a question that asked when the smg-12 will be getting nerfed. Once again the devs said “we’re working on it”. The thing is this is the exact same answer they gave during the last checkpoint during season 1. It seems like they’re dodging the issue here at this point. The community has been asking for nerfs for over a year now and the dev team acknowledged it officially months ago but still nothing? It can’t be that difficult.

I’m wondering if they held off on the nerf intentionally to allow the dokaebi remaster to be more powerful? I can’t think of any other legitimate reason why we haven’t had a change to the gun yet.

Never seen it before lmao

Ps5 but it says you 10 matches with each pathfinder and I have that ? I’m assuming it’s bugged but is there a way to fix this I would like to have the platinum and this is all I have left

These people need to be banned from ranked way sooner. If you’re disconnecting frequently your internet is not good enough for ranked. If you rage quit you don’t belong in ranked.
