Jäger will now be a two-speed, two-armor operator. Invariably, the new patch shows Ubisoft’s determination to encourage competitive players to try new strategies and master the game’s mechanics. The patch also focuses on increasing the competition level among Rainbow Six Pro League players. In their efforts to combat bugs, Ubisoft features a series of improvements in this update.
A statement from a Ubisoft developer notes that the design team leverages data from various players and teams to come up with the right update to balance the game. Buck, Mozzie, and Kaid also see nerfs in this patch.
Jäger’s roaming potential has been reduced while Goyo’s Volcán Shields have whittled down to two. This second wave of updates since the Year 5 kickoff brings numerous balance changes. It also fixes dynamic play button issues and a major glitch in the barricade replication where only the shooter could destroy the barricade. The R6 Y5S1.2 patch notes reveal bug fixes and raises the skill caps for pro players. The new update for Rainbow Six: Siege Year 5 Season 1, released in the middle of Operation Void Edge, unveils a swath of operator balancing changes.
