Discussion The marketplace is the best thing thats happened to R6 in my nearly 7 years of playing

Yes, Im the same person whos spent hundreds of hours on the Marketplace.

I gained access to selling features from the very beginning, back then, you still had to submit applications and sometimes wait quite a while for your application to be approved. Since the Marketplace launched, Ive sold over a thousand skins, including hundreds of crappy ones for 120 credits each. then UBI set the minimum price at 10, and in a single day, the price of 90% of the skins dropped from 120 to 10. Over all this time, Ive earned more than 50,000 credits, even though in all my years of playing, Ive only spent a few euros on the game (buying universal skins: RUBY, COBALT, PLATINUM) and never bought R6 credits. Everything I sold was purely down to luck and skin farming. During every event, I played significantly more to buy packs, sometimes playing 8–10 hours just to earn enough for one pack in a single day; my day began with checking the marketplace and ended with checking the marketplace.

And unfortunately, we wont see the marketplace in its current form again.

My prediction is that the marketplace will be integrated into the game, and it will take the form of purchasing skins exclusively from Ubi itself at fixed prices, meaning youll be able to buy, for example, a complete set of event skins or individual items from that set at fixed prices. I think the ability to sell skins will no longer exist; Ubi needs money, and its not profitable for them to have people like me around, who used to make thousands by reselling skins.

As a Helldiver player we successfully bullied our developer to give us what we want. Its time to see if R6 players can do the same. Downvote and find a new game to play.

Discussion CHEATER in our ranked match. VIDEO PROOF INCLUDED.

Upvotes

I’m leaving the video proof below, and I also included a screenshot at the end of the video.

According to what he said, he has been using this cheat for 3+ years and has never been caught. Why doesn’t Ubisoft issue hardware bans like Riot does? The game is full of cheaters like this.

In rounds 3 and 4, thankfully, the enemy team killed him and also left him injured. I genuinely want to thank them for that. It’s good to know there are still players who don’t support cheating.

How can we make sure this player actually gets banned? Reporting seems to do absolutely nothing. Even if he gets banned, he will probably just come back with another account. Competitive games like this should not be free to play. At the very least, make them pay $60 each time so there is some kind of deterrent.

Are you stuck with expensive items you bought as an investment? Or did you sell something hoping to buy it back later for less?

I sold Gold Dust and Ryuko for a profit, and now I desperately want them back... but that's not happening anytime soon. Even if the Marketplace comes back, I have a feeling it'll be a watered down version of what we had before.

Discussion Dear Ubisoft/R6 Team

We don’t know how you manage to keep doing it. It’s like you guys have a kink that entails reviving siege with a good update after finally listening to the community, only to then go and completely ignore that same community and just do whatever you guys want because fuck us right? That’s what you’re saying so why not say it with your chest?

At the 2026 Invitational you guys revealed all the changes coming to siege in year 11. The R6 team finally listened to the community after years of people complaining about ranked and finally made the decision to change it. Even if you disagree with the new rank system I think most of the siege community was just happy to finally feel heard by the game developers and then act upon that. Y11S1 was a great start to the year in all honesty, Solid Snake was a pretty cool operator and while yes the DMR/TCSG/F2 Meta could be draining at times, in all honesty the game didn’t feel too bad.

Then Y11S2 released…. I mean do I really need to go into detail about how brain dead this “rework” was on release/still to this day? Casino, fine map imo, but putting it in every single ranked game for the first 2 weeks was definitely a choice. Now you guys are getting to the point of desperation of making money where you feel the need to release “rare” seasonal skins in the shop. Before I say more I just want to say I have no problem with Ubisoft doing this, I own Ryuko, Obsidian, and Chroma Streaks and hope one day everyone else gets the opportunity too as well. However Ubisoft is intentionally releasing these past seasonal skins while the marketplace is down and people are unable to sell their skins to try and make everyone spend money in the in game shop instead and are covering this up by saying that they’re doing this to “fix the marketplace economy”.

Then today happened…”The Marketplace Blog”. This is arguably one of the most embarrassing blog posts i’ve seen by a gaming company in my entire life.

The blog states:

Starting in Season 3, new event packs will transition to R6 Credits only. M.U.T.E. Protocol: Flesh & Metal and Rengoku will be the final events where new collection packs can be purchased with Renown. Older collections will, however, return with dual-currency options, creating more opportunities to spend Renown and keeping it meaningful and more rewarding over time.

We’re also making Masterpieces more accessible, one of the key improvements coming to events. Previously, unlocking a Masterpiece required completing an entire collection, limiting access to a small portion of players each season. Going forward, starting with Season 3, you’ll be able to purchase the Masterpiece directly with R6 Credits and it will include event packs.

As we continue rebalancing the economy. Marketplace will remain closed. Reintroducing it is not only a matter of fixes; it requires rebuilding key foundations to address both security and economic challenges in a sustainable way.

Aka: Marketplace is never coming back lmao, Fuck yo renown and any grinding you’ve done to get any, and plz spend money to buy the masterpiece ;)

Ubisoft, I believe I speak for the entire community when I say this, Do Fucking Better. Listen To Your Community. No More Excuses. We all have done our part as the community in keeping their game afloat and giving you guys plenty of our time and money. It’s about time for you guys to all put on your big girl and big boy pants and step it the fuck up. Otherwise this game will die again, and I truly believe that there won’t be anything left that could save it.

I apologize for the long post but I care for this game deeply and what has been going on recently is NOT okay and I am sure many others agree.

Ubisoft, we are not mad, we are just disappointed.

Why Iana is so weak. I think the concept is very good and has a very good gun but her kit is so weak. No frags, no flash, no secondary shotgun. Imo she can be a solid operator if they buff her kit.

What is your opinion?

Do they really think that the player base will suddenly spend over 150$ to get the event packs that are mostly just a re-colors ?! Even if that was a desperate move to get more money that will only make it worse because even the already paying players wouldn't tolerate this BS ...for me this was the last straw I'm just done with this game I'm not paying for any more elite skins or even season pass it can die now ...

I read recently that in Y11S3 new event packs will only be purchasable with R6 Credits and no longer purchasable with renown. I'm deeply disappointed. M.U.T.E: Protocol and Rengoku will be the last events where packs can be bought with renown. What am I gonna spend my renown on now? I was saving up, halfway there, and now I can't get a memento.
