Ubisoft's latest Rainbow Six Siege patch notes are a game-changer the community has been waiting for. This is how Ubisoft is shaking up the meta and addressing player concerns, bringing a breath of fresh air to operator balance."

Ubisoft have released the newest patch notes for Rainbow Six Siege and the community was unanimous when they said that they have not received patch notes as good as these ones in a while.

Ubisoft have tackled the issue of Iana and Warden dominating the meta and becoming the primary pick for fragging when their role was supposed to be that of support.

Additionally, the developers listened to the community's dissatisfaction with Frost's rework, tackled that, and met the players "in the middle". Here are all of the operator changes the new patch has brought:

FROST

  • Operators who fall onto a Welcome Mat will be able to remove it from their leg by themselves or with the help of a teammate.Operators who fall onto a Welcome Mat are considered downed. R6 allows a player to be downed only once per round; if they have been downed already, they will be eliminated if they fall onto a Welcome Mat.
  • If Operators remove the trap without the help of a teammate, a debuff will be applied to them for 60 seconds with these effects:
    • Move 20% slower and can't sprint
    • Leave a trail of blood behind
    • Health is set to 20, same health you get after standing up from being downed

WARDEN

  • Armor: 3 (from 2)
  • Speed: 1 (from 2)
